Build-stage sequencing for builders

This is a service defined by timing rather than technique. There is exactly one point in a build when you can treat the soil under a slab properly, and it is before the concrete goes on top of it. Miss it and the same protection later means drilling through the finished floor. This page is written for builders and site managers who need to know where pest control sits in the sequence.

Where pest treatment fits in the build sequence
Build stagePest control actionConsequence of missing it
Site clearance Remove stumps, roots and buried timber from the footprint A food source left directly under the building
Excavation and footings Confirm no cellulose debris remains in the trench Colony support in the least accessible place on site
Before the slab is poured Apply soil termiticide to the pad and around footings, or install a bait system The only clean opportunity is gone; later treatment means drilling the finished slab
Before backfill Treat the exterior foundation perimeter soil Access is lost once backfilled and graded
Framing complete, before insulation Seal sill plate, rim joist and all service penetrations Rodent entry routes sealed inside the wall build-up, invisible and unfixable
Before final grading Confirm fall away from the building and clearance below siding Permanently damp foundation soil
