Soil poisoning
Pre-construction termite control is a crucial aspect of marketing new properties in the Gauteng area. The fear of termite infestations is greater than concerns about ants, cockroaches, and rodents because termites can cause significant structural damage that is often not covered by insurance. Termites are known to attack a variety of wood-based materials, including cupboards, floors, door and window frames, and roof rafters. Due to their stealthy nature, termite infestations can go unnoticed for long periods, resulting in severe damage by the time they are discovered.
In Gauteng, pre-construction termite control is essential because the local climate supports the growth of both harvester and subterranean termites. It is necessary for all new construction projects, whether residential, commercial, or industrial, to receive thorough termite treatment before laying concrete slabs and foundations. Our pre-construction pest control services include applying termiticide to the soil, effectively preventing the structure from becoming a food source for nearby termite colonies. This treatment creates a strong physical barrier, providing long-term protection against termites.
Following the National Building Regulations and Standards (ACT 103 of 1977), which mandate that "the foundations of all buildings to be treated against termites and pests," Tegridy Pest Control is dedicated to meeting the needs of contractors. We ensure our services are delivered on time, within budget, and with a steadfast commitment to quality.
