Any place that offers a suitable environment including food, moisture, and warmth, is prone to termite attack.

And doing all the procedures alone is not an easy task, so it’s better to seek the help of professional pest control. Here we will discuss the procedures of pre and post-construction termite treatment along with their benefits.

Benefits of Pre-Construction Termite Treatment:

Less Price

The process or steps involved in a pre-construction termite treatment are less compared to post-construction treatment. Thus, the cost is less and less expensive.

Fewer Barriers:

The number of barriers or obstacles in the pre-construction treatment is next to nothing more than those of post-construction treatment, especially the walls. Walls are the obstacles that provide the house with corners and nooks. Without walls, access is easier.

No property damage:

In the post-construction, a termite infestation cannot be easily determined, until it damaged a significant amount of your property. So, for termite prevention altogether, pre-construction treatment is recommended.

Post-Construction Termite Treatment Procedure:

• The professionals of pest control services in Hyderabad do a thorough inspection of the property
• They determine all the locations of termite infestation
• Drilling of tiny holes in the infested areas
• Required chemicals are injected inside the holes
• These holes are saturated and left for chemical soaking
• All the holes are closed with white cement or wax or any substance that is suitable for closing these holes
• If the infestation level is more, insecticides are sprayed on the surface of the wood or infested area

Benefits of Post-Construction Termite Treatment:

• It provides immediate protection to any termite-infested surface
• It can last for several years if a thorough inspection is done every once in a while

Safety Measures:
