Property owners frequently believe that recently built structures are immune to termite infestations. In actuality, this is frequently not the case. Termite infestation is often more likely to occur in newly constructed buildings, particularly if Post-Construction Termite Control is delayed.
In new buildings that were not treated after construction, termite damage frequently starts within months of occupancy, according to Specific Home Services. This blog explains the need for immediate termite protection for new construction, how Post-Construction Termite Control operates, how much treatment will cost, and how long-term safety can be guaranteed.
What is post-construction termite control?
A professional treatment used on finished buildings to get rid of termites and stop future infestations is called Post-Construction Termite Control. It is done after construction and concentrates on the surrounding soil, walls, floors, foundations, and wooden structures.

🔹 WHY NEW BUILDINGS NEED IMMEDIATE TERMITE PROTECTION
Termite protection is urgently needed for new construction because:
Construction disturbs the soil, which facilitates termite movement.
Moisture is still trapped in walls and foundations.
Untreated wooden cabinets, doors, and frames
After construction, there is no chemical barrier.
Termites can infiltrate a new building in a matter of months if Post-Construction Termite Control is not implemented.
SIGNS OF TERMITE ACTIVITY
Early termite indicators in newly constructed structures
Wooden doors and cabinets making a hollow sound
Mud tubes close to skirting or walls
Powder residue close to wood
Windows or doors getting tight
These symptoms frequently show up after damage has already started.
TREATMENT METHODS
How termites are controlled after construction
The following methods are used to treat termites after construction:
Chemical injection and drilling in floors and walls
Treatment of soil close to foundations
Wood treatment for frames and doors
The building’s perimeter treatment
For total protection, a variety of techniques are employed.

FAQ’S
1 Why choose Specific Home Services for post-construction termite control?
Specific Home Services provides professional post-construction termite control for new buildings using proven treatment methods.
Each property is inspected carefully, and treatment is planned based on structure type, infestation risk, and long-term safety.
2 Why is post-construction termite control important for new buildings?
Post-construction termite control is important for new buildings because termites are attracted to disturbed soil, moisture, and untreated wood. Immediate protection prevents early structural damage.
3 Can termites spread to new buildings from nearby properties?
Yes. Termite colonies travel underground and can easily move from neighboring plots, gardens, or old structures into new buildings if no protective barrier exists.
4 Is post-construction termite control a one-time solution?
Not always. While treatment provides long-term protection (3–5 years), periodic inspections are recommended. High-risk properties may benefit from follow-up or maintenance plans.
5 Why should post-construction termite control not be delayed?
Delaying treatment allows termites to establish colonies inside walls and foundations. Early protection is far less expensive than repairing structural damage later.
6 What experience does Specific Home Services have with new building termite issues?
Specific Home Services has extensive on-ground experience handling termite infestations in newly constructed buildings, including apartments, villas, and commercial properties. Many cases involve early-stage infestations caused by untreated soil and moisture after construction.
7 Does Specific Home Services handle both residential and commercial properties?
Yes. Specific Home Services provides post-construction termite control for homes, apartments, villas, offices, and commercial buildings, adapting treatment methods to each property type.
