Power outages are not fun, especially if you’re in the middle of an important task. Power interruptions during extreme weather conditions can also be worrying.
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.

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.

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.

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.

“JJ at ABC cleared up our problem pool in less than 24 hours. The knowledge and patience that he brings to the table is worth more than our visit cost us. Thank you”
Paul Clauss
“On 4-17-2024, I had ABC Home come out to my son's home and do some serious tree trimming on some very big trees. I was able to observe their work the entire time. A 2 man crew came out, actually arriving several days earlier than promised (with a preceeding phone call asking permission). These guys were very professional. They worked together as a well trained crew. I was especially impressed by the safe manner in which they worked, especially the man climbing high in the trees. I come from an industrial work environment and can say they followed safety procedures to the max. They worked very efficiently and were very careful when working near the fence or the house. When they left, I could not even tell they had done the job as their clean up was immaculate. I highly recommend these guys if you have any serious tree trimming.”
