Pre-Construction Anti-Termite Treatment
Do you have pest problems? Call us now
Quick answer
Pre-construction anti-termite treatment protects a new building by treating the soil before the foundations and floor slab are laid, creating a barrier that stops subterranean termites reaching the structure. Safe Guard carries out this treatment on construction sites in Dammam, Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Jubail and across Saudi Arabia. Book 24/7 on +966 54 150 9870.
Why Treat the Soil Before You Build?
Subterranean termites live in the ground and enter buildings from below, through joints, cracks and service entries in the foundations. Once the slab is poured, the soil underneath can no longer be reached easily, so the construction stage is the one moment when complete protection can be applied.
Treating the soil at this stage is far simpler than repairing damaged door frames, flooring and fitted furniture years later. The photos in our gallery show the Safe Guard team applying anti-termite soil treatment on construction sites in Saudi Arabia. For buildings that are already finished, see our termite control service.

How Pre-Construction Treatment Works
- Site assessment: We review the drawings, soil and construction programme and agree the treatment stages.
- Foundation treatment: The soil in and around the foundation excavations is treated before backfilling.
- Slab treatment: The levelled soil is treated just before the floor slab is poured.
- Perimeter treatment: Soil along the external walls is treated when the structure is complete.
- Record: You receive a record of the areas that were treated.
FAQ
Pre-Construction Anti-Termite Treatment Questions
When should anti-termite treatment be done during construction?
In stages: after the foundation excavation, again before the floor slab is poured, and around the perimeter once the structure is complete.
Is pre-construction treatment better than treating later?
Yes. The soil under a building can only be fully treated before the slab is poured. Later treatment is possible, but it is more difficult and usually more disruptive.
Can an existing building be protected from termites?
Yes. For existing buildings we inspect the property and treat the soil and timber where termites are entering.
