OPC has a dedicated team to handle your new construction termite treatments and closing documents.
Residential & Commercial Pretreat Options
OPC Pest Services will provide a new construction treatment for the control of subterranean termites. We currently offer 3 different treatment options. Our commitment to service and quality is the reason to choose us for your termite treatment. We have providing new construction treatments for over 40 years. We will provide all the necessary paperwork to make your closings hassle free. We will also provide free estimates.
Borate Treatment
OPC will treat the wood framing during the construction process for the protection of subterranean termites. The active ingredient in Bora-Care is a mineral salt, so the product will not break down like conventional chemicals over time. This type of active ingredient provides long-term protection of the wood.
Factors to consider:
- The treatment is performed with minimal disruption to the construction schedule.
- Product has a residual effect to protect the structural wood against termites for years.
- No need to pump chemicals into the soil around or under the home or structure.
- Weather does not cause delays for treatment.
- Low toxicity has a low environmental impact.


Sentricon Always Active®
OPC will install the Sentricon System featuring Always Active technology around the perimeter of the home or structure upon construction completion and sod has been installed. The stations will be installed according to product label instructions. OPC will monitor the termite bait stations for one year following the installation date of the system.
Factors to consider:
- No construction delays – treatment does not disrupt any schedules since the installation is performed once sod has been installed.
- More effective – treatment does not degrade or break down over time as compared to other treatment options.
- Visible – provides the property owner tangible and visible evidence of protection.
- Greenest choice – Sentricon is the most environmentally friendly treatment option to eliminate and prevent termites.
Liquid Soil Treatment
Liquid soil treatments are applied to the soil prior to the plastic being put down and the slab being poured. After the closing, perimeter trench and treatment will be performed. Our liquid soil treatments use the most innovative products on the market. This treatment uses the new generation of termiticides, known as nonrepellents, which are undetectable by termites. Therefore, they come in contact with, ingest, and share the termiticide with their colony. The method of application for this type of termite treatment differs based on the structure being treated.
Factors to consider:
- Weather conditions could factor into completion timeline.
- Any disruption of the soil following treatment could lead to a failure in termite protection.
- Two services must be performed to complete the treatment process.
