Inverness, Florida — Subterranean Termite Pre-Treat & Inspection

Out here in Inverness, Florida doing a subterranean termite pre-treat and inspection. This was an emergency late-night call — concrete was scheduled to be poured the next morning, and the soil underneath needed to be treated before that window closed.

The Situation

Any adjoining concrete that gets cut out exposes bare soil underneath. In this case, open soil was sitting under plastic sheeting, waiting for new concrete to be poured on top. The homeowner had waited until the last minute, which is why this turned into an after-hours emergency call.

Once concrete is poured over untreated soil, that opportunity is gone. Subterranean termites travel through the ground and exploit any crack or gap in the slab to reach wood above. Treating the soil before the pour creates a chemical barrier that protects the structure for years — even after the concrete is in place.

What We Did

The team came in, treated all exposed soil thoroughly, then dropped everything back down, taped it all up, and left the site ready to go for the concrete pour the next morning. No delays, no disruption to the schedule — just the protection the structure needed before it was sealed in permanently.

Why Timing Matters

• Once concrete is poured over untreated soil, pre-treatment is no longer possible
• Subterranean termites travel through soil and use slab cracks as entry points
• Pre-treatment creates a long-lasting barrier that works even after the slab is poured
• Emergency calls are available — don't let a tight construction schedule leave your structure unprotected

Don't Wait Until the Last Minute
