What construction leaves behind

A newly finished building is not a pest-free building. Construction reliably leaves behind three things pests exploit: penetrations that were drilled and never sealed, cellulose buried in the backfill, and soil disturbed right against the foundation. None of these are visible once the landscaping is in, which is why the time to deal with them is at handover.

Construction legacies that create pest problems, and when to catch them
What is left behindPest it attractsBest point to fix it
Unsealed pipe, cable and duct penetrations Mice, rats, insects At handover, before finishes and cladding conceal them
Timber offcuts and formwork buried in backfill Subterranean termites During backfill; excavation later is expensive
Disturbed soil against the foundation Termites, ants At final grading — establish fall away from the building
Gaps at sill plate and rim joist Mice, occasional invaders Before insulation and interior finishes go in
Unscreened soffit, gable and crawl space vents Birds, squirrels, rodents, wasps At handover, with galvanised mesh
Mulch and planting installed hard against siding Termites, ants, earwigs At landscaping — keep a visible inspection gap
Construction debris left in the crawl space Rodents, beetles, termites Before the space is closed up
