Pre-Construction Termite Treatment for Middle Tennessee Builders
A concrete pour won’t wait for a pest control company, and you shouldn’t have to either. U.S. Pest Protection pre-treats new construction across Middle Tennessee, with early-morning and weekend service as standard, same-day service when your schedule shifts, and pre-treat certificates within 24 hours. Call our commercial office at 615-757-6710 to get on the schedule.
The Truck Behind the Schedule
When we added our 500-gallon pre-treat truck to the fleet 10 years ago, it was the largest pre-treat truck in Tennessee, and it’s still on the job today. Every U.S. Pest truck is equipped for pre-treatments, too, so we can cover jobs in every county we serve.
Soil Treatment Before the Slab
Before the slab is poured, we treat the soil with a termiticide chosen to meet your job’s specifications. Tennessee rules require new-construction pretreatments to be completed within 90 days after backfill, unless the product label says otherwise, and we schedule around your pour so you stay well inside that window.
Borate Protection During Framing
During framing, we can apply Bora-Care, a borate wood treatment that protects against termites, other wood-destroying insects, and decay fungi, or Bora-Care with Mold-Care, which adds mold protection. Both are made right here in Tennessee by Nisus, and we can handle soil and borate treatments on the same build.Pre-Construction Termite Treatment in Three Steps

What Builders Tell Us They’re Tired Of
Builders come to us after the same headaches with other pre-treat companies:How We Keep Your Build on Schedule
- Early starts and weekends are standard: we’re there before the pour, not after it.
- Same-day when you need it: 48 hours’ notice is ideal, but if your schedule moves, we’ll make it work.
- Every truck can pre-treat: so we can cover jobs in every county we serve.
- Paperwork within 24 hours: your pre-treat certificate arrives the day after treatment, not the week after.
Who We Work With
Production builders, custom builders, commercial contractors, and homeowners building their own homes all rely on us for pre-treats. Whether it’s one custom home or a whole phase of a subdivision, you get the same early start and the same 24-hour paperwork. See all of our commercial pest control services.
Certificates for You, Protection for the Homeowner
Builders receive a pre-treat certificate within 24 hours of treatment, ready for your files and inspections. Every pre-treat comes with a one-year termite warranty, and when the home sells, the new homeowner can claim it with our warranty transfer form, so that protection follows the house. Homeowners who want ongoing coverage can learn about our termite protection.
Bought a New Home We Pre-Treated?
Congratulations on your new home. If your builder used U.S. Pest Protection for pre-construction termite treatment, your home came with a one-year termite warranty, and it can transfer to you. Here’s how to claim it:
- Complete the Builder Warranty Transfer form and mail it to us within 30 days of your purchase.
- Your warranty runs for one year from your closing date.
- Return the form and you’ll also receive a complimentary initial pest service.
- After the first year, you can extend your protection with an annual renewal.
If we don’t receive the form, the warranty stays with your builder, so don’t let it sit in the closing folder. Mail it to U.S. Pest Protection, 49 Industrial Park Drive, Hendersonville, TN 37075. Questions? Call our Hendersonville office at 615-566-6311.

For Builders: Add the Transfer Form to Your Closing Packet
Your buyers can keep the termite warranty that came with their home only if they send in the transfer form. Putting a copy in every closing packet takes seconds, protects your buyers, and shows them you chose a pre-treat partner who stands behind the work long after the keys change hands.
Where We Fit in Your Build
- Before the slab: we pre-treat the soil, scheduled around your pour. Forty-eight hours’ notice is ideal, and same-day is possible.
- If it rains: most rain isn’t heavy enough to stop a treatment. When it is, we finish the job as soon as it lets up.
- Dried-in framing: Bora-Care or Bora-Care with Mold-Care, applied to the framing.
- Paperwork: your pre-treat certificate within 24 hours, plus the HUD-NPMA-99-B New Construction Subterranean Termite Service Record when a HUD-insured home calls for it.
- At closing: the one-year termite warranty transfers to the buyer once they return our warranty transfer form.
- After year one: homeowners can keep their protection going with a U.S. Pest termite agreement.
Built Around How You Build
- Production builders: one point of contact for every lot and combined billing, so a whole phase runs as smoothly as a single home.
- Custom builders: scheduling that flexes with your timeline, and soil and borate treatments from one company.
- Commercial contractors: early starts and documentation that keep inspections and handoffs on track.
- Homeowners building their own home: we explain what’s needed and when, and handle the paperwork for your files and your future buyers.
