Termimesh Termite Prevention for New Home Construction in San Antonio, TX
San Antonio is among the fastest-growing cities in the country. Termite colonies often exist on a property before homes are built, causing headaches for new construction. To protect your biggest investment, a physical, non-toxic permanent barrier can be installed during construction. If you are looking for termite-proof construction materials, ABC Home & Commercial Services can advise you on your options.
ABC specialists install a product called Termimesh, a proven barrier that prevents termites from entering a new structure and establishing a colony. The Termimesh System has over 170,000 installations and a 100% effective track record.
Termimesh is a finely-woven stainless-steel mesh that serves as a physical barrier. The US Forest Service determined that Termimesh is 100% effective as a barrier that termites can’t eat through. ABC specialists will ensure Termimesh is secured to everything protruding from the ground, including electrical and plumbing, prior to concrete being poured.
Once installed, the barrier is permanent.
The ABC Process
1. Contact ABC
When you contact us, we will schedule an inspection to get an understanding of the problem. In some cases, we can give you a quote over the phone.
2. Get An Estimate
If you have an inspection, we will send you a custom treatment plan and estimate afterward. Once we get your approval, we will schedule your treatment.
3. Treatment
We will come to your property and treat for pests in common hiding and nesting areas. Over time, you will start seeing less and less pest activity.
4. Prevention
Customers with our ongoing pest management services will receive periodic retreatments to prevent the return of the most common pests in our area.
While Termimesh prevents termites from being able to access your home through the foundation, you need to ensure there are no other entry points. ABC specialists can provide regular inspections to ensure termites don’t have new access points.

We offer a full range of pest control services.
Nationally, the annual damages caused by termites exceeds $2 billion dollars, and termite damage in an average home can easily cost homeowners thousands of dollars to repair. Over time, termite damage can cause serious cosmetic or structural damage to a home, as well as the fixtures, fittings and floor coverings inside the home, all of which can reduce a home’s value.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are termites?
Termites are small insects that resemble ants both in size and habits. Like ants, termites live in large colonies and frequently build mounds or nests. They usually live in the soil and feed on dead plant material, including wood. Because termite colonies can be made up of anywhere from 500,000 to 5,000,000 individuals, it’s important to ensure they haven’t chosen your new home for their next meal.
How do termites enter a building?
Termites need only a fraction of an inch to invade your home, entering through small gaps that lead up from anything that is in direct contact with the ground underneath. They can enter through foundation cracks, gaps between pipes (plumbing & electrical) and the foundation, and other small openings.

“The guys did a fantastic job!! My yard was completely overgrown with ragweed and morning glory taking over! They left the yard looking amazing, sprayed the weeds to help them stay away and even touched up a few spots I saw last minute! My bushes in front look so happy! Thanks y’all, it looks incredible!!”

“My first experiences with ABC have been nothing but impressive. Scheduling the appointment was easy & was able to get a consultation within days. I was made aware of our Inspector’s arrival within the estimated time frame, Louie inspected the home, was super personable & explained all of the services-so many more than I expected and beyond just pest control (garbage can cleaning, Christmas light installation, plumbing & AC, handy man, etc)! Louie scheduled my initial service for the following day. I was made aware of the Technician’s ETA along with a photo of who to expect, and could even track his location en route. Levi explained the process of his visit and the regular future follow-up visits. He was also super professional and personable. Both spoke SO highly of their employer and seem to really love what they do which is so refreshing to see. I appreciate that they only use products needed, train & license their employees, give back to the community, wear booties, email you a list of products used in the event a family member or pet has an allergic reaction. Needless to say, I feel good about our decision to follow our Realtor’s recommendation to use ABC! Now let’s just hope we can keep all non rent paying critters away! 🤞🏼”
