Having routine pest control service is a
part of a proper home maintenance plan. But the need for pest control
actually starts long before a building comes to fruition.
Freshly graded earth, stacks of
construction material and construction-related moisture can all attract
pests. And if they are able to get a foothold during construction,
chances of post-construction infestations increase. At the same time,
construction activities also can disturb pests and push them onto
adjacent properties. Builders can avoid these problems by consulting
with a pest control contractor before construction ever begins.
During construction, there are many ways
that pest control contractors can keep the site pest-free, as well as
prevent infestations once the project is finished. Among them are:
- Baits and traps strategically placed around the work site.
- Application of a chemical barrier to areas that will be inaccessible once the building is complete.
- Physical barriers between the dirt and the structure.
- Chemical treatment of the wood being used to build the structure.
As you go through your pre-construction
checklist, be sure to include crafting a pest control plan to protect
your structure as it is being built, decrease the chances of
infestations once it is finished and avoid pushing pests onto
neighboring properties. For more information, or to find a pest control
