Pre-Construction Termite Control in Austin, TX

The warm, humid climate in Central Texas makes our area a hotbed for pest activity, including termites. The most effective way to protect your biggest investment from these destructive pests is by installing Termimesh during construction. The experts at ABC Home & Commercial Services can work with you to ensure this proven, non-chemical solution serves as an effective physical barrier to keep termites away from your home.

The EPA reports that steel mesh barriers “have been shown to perform effectively as physical barriers” for termites. Termimesh takes that basic principle and improves on it with a unique, woven mesh of non-corrosive stainless steel that termites simply can’t penetrate.

Termites can’t eat through it, crawl through it, break through it or get around it. And to ensure proper installation and high quality, Termimesh only allows accredited and licensed installers—such as ABC Home & Commercial Services in Austin—to perform installations.

Keeping termites out with Termimesh means zeroing in on the areas where termites will try to get in. For that reason, Termimesh is a non-chemical, permanent barrier, that is used in very specific places in the home’s slab.  It’s essentially a stainless steel barrier to keep termites out.

For example, even before your builder pours the concrete for your slab, we encase all of the pipes that come through the slab for your plumbing system, with Termimesh, leaving no gap for termites to slip through.

In short, if there’s a way termites will try to get in, we block it with Termimesh.

“We had a great experience with ABC Home and Commercial Services! Our technician, Eddy, was fantastic—super nice, very knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions. He did a thorough job taking care of our home, and we really appreciated his professionalism. One thing I especially love about ABC is that they send a detailed report after the visit with their findings and recommendations—such a great touch. Overall, we're extremely pleased and would absolutely recommend Eddy and ABC to anyone needing their services. We'll definitely be using them again in the future!”

“ABC Lawn Care and Cleanup worked at 2 residential properties for me on 4-7. They completed everything on my lists to the estimator, and they did a more thorough job than I've ever seen! They're not cheap but I would bet that I could go twice as long or more between mowings if I were on a schedule with them. The 3 guys in the lawn crew made sure I was happy with everything before they left and took bags and bags of leaves and branches away with them. Good as it gets!”
