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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Termimesh a reputable and established solution?

In a word: yes! Termimesh has been around for more than two decades and Termimesh technology already protects hundreds of thousands of homes.

Leading architects and builders recognize the value that Termimesh delivers. Homeowners appreciate the fact that Termimesh is an environmentally friendly, non-chemical/green solution.

When do I choose Termimesh and when do I choose a different termite treatment?

There are a number of effective ways to address termite problems. However, Termimesh can only be installed as part of a new construction. We are experienced at working with architects and home builders to ensure proper installation of your Termimesh barrier.

We do also offer other effective termite treatment options for existing constructions.

“I called this morning regarding an electrical issue, and luckily ABC was able to book me into the last slot. Stevie was great! He called in advance to inform me of his ETA and was on time. He was understanding of our "no shoes in the house" rule and had no problem wearing shoe covers to accommodate our request. He patiently answered all my questions, and walked us through his root cause analysis and fix. I would definitely use ABC again because of the amazing experience I had with Stevie!”

“ABC did a great job installing a level 2 EV charger in our garage. They were the only company we contacted that provided a detailed estimate. Electrician Brian got the job done quickly and professionally. Highly recommend!”
