New Construction Termite Pretreatment
Protect Your Project from the Ground Up

Our licensed technicians work alongside your construction schedule to deliver dependable termite protection without delaying your project.
From custom homes and production communities to large commercial developments, Diligent has the experience, equipment, and responsive service to support projects of every size. With same-day service, a guaranteed three-hour response time, and one of the largest pretreatment fleets in Florida, we help builders stay on schedule while protecting structures from future termite damage.
Termite Pretreatment Services for New Construction
Subterranean termites are among the most destructive pests affecting structures in Florida. Once a building is complete, termite treatment can become significantly more difficult and costly. That’s why termite pretreatment is performed during construction, before the foundation is poured and before termites have the opportunity to invade the structure.
Diligent works with builders throughout the construction process to provide termite pretreatment solutions that help protect residential and commercial properties from future termite activity.
Our termite pretreatment services support:
- Custom home construction
- Production home builders
- Commercial developments
- Mixed-use projects
- Multi-family communities
- Industrial construction
- Institutional buildings
Whether you’re building a single home or managing a multi-phase commercial development, our team has the equipment and experience to support your project.

Why New Construction Termite Pretreatment Matters
Florida’s warm climate makes termite protection an essential part of new construction planning. Pretreating a structure before the slab is poured creates a protective barrier around the foundation where subterranean termites are most likely to enter.
A professionally applied termite pretreatment helps:
- Protect structural components from termite damage
- Reduce the risk of future infestations
- Support long-term building performance
- Provide builders and property owners with added confidence
- Create a strong foundation for ongoing termite protection
By treating the soil during construction, builders can help minimize future disruptions and reduce the potential for costly structural repairs.
Because Florida is one of the most active termite regions in the country, it’s important to understand your property’s risk. View our Termite Probability Zone Map to learn why preventative treatment is so important.
Our New Construction Pretreatment Process
Diligent coordinates closely with builders, superintendents, inspectors, and project managers to ensure termite pretreatments are completed at the appropriate stage of construction.
Traditional Liquid Soil Treatments
Liquid soil pretreatments create a continuous protective barrier beneath and around the foundation before concrete placement. Our licensed technicians apply approved termiticides using calibrated equipment to help ensure accurate application rates and consistent coverage.
Bora-Care® Pretreatment Applications
For projects requiring additional wood protection, Diligent also offers Bora-Care® pretreatment applications. Bora-Care penetrates wood components to provide long-lasting protection against termites and other wood-destroying organisms.
Our team can recommend the most appropriate treatment strategy based on your project requirements and construction methods.
Follow-Up Treatments
Certain areas of a project may require additional treatment after initial construction activities. Diligent provides follow-up treatments for:
- Patios
- Driveways
- Final grade treatments
- Additional treatment areas required by project conditions or applicable codes
Our goal is to help ensure complete protection throughout the construction process.
