For builders and realtors, Nashville pest management is about more than providing great service. It protects your business and your reputation, keeping projects and transactions streamlined and your client’s dream home protected from avoidable damage. As West Nashville, Belle Meade, and nearby neighborhoods continue growing, proactive pest control is paramount. Failing to include a proactive pest and termite control plan new homes comes at a tremendous cost to builders and construction firms, according to one report by Slaten Law:
“A builder who fails to fix a noticeable construction error or visible mistake may face liability for damages when a pest infestation or other problem occurs. The resulting repairs can be costly. Property damage from termites and insects, for example, exceeds $5 billion each year, as reported by the Alabama A&M University Extension.”
For realtors, pest control is just as important. There’s a higher risk of legal action when realtors fail to disclose pest infestation, damage, or activity. Thousands of dollars in damages could cause a lot of hassle, headaches and distractions for yourself and your clients. In some cases, the damage may become your responsibility. Proactive pest control for real estate properties limits this exposure and provides peace of mind for all involved.
Pest Prevention for New Construction
Effective termite control for builders and construction firms includes:
-
Reliable Partnership: Having good communication and dependable systems in place ensure timely scheduling of termite treatments and delivery of soil treatment records paperwork to not hold up the closing process.
-
Effective Termite Treatments: Putting pest control stations directly into the soil around the home stops pests where they are and prevents colonies from thriving and spreading. We recommend the Sentricon® System because it’s an eco-friendly termite treatment that won’t harm the soil, won’t damage the home, and is safe for people and pets.
-
Long-Term Impact: You want a pest control solution that’s going to work 24/7/365, so you and your clients have peace of mind. We recommend conducting your inspection and treatment after landscaping and right before closing to streamline your building schedule, avoid disruption and maximize results.
-
Warranty/Guarantee: Work with a pest control company that stands by their work and doesn’t have ambiguous language or unfavorable terms for your client. Don’t settle for pest control companies who cut corners and disappear when problems arise.
We recommend builders protect their new construction or remodeled properties from termite damage as part of their commitment to proactive pest control. We trust the Sentricon System which uses small treatment stationsto form a proactive barrier against termites and prevent colonies from spreading. Since Sentricon only targets termites, it poses no risk to people, plants, soil, or pets. If there are any termite problems after we install Sentricon, our work is backed by a $1,000,000 Termite Damage Repair Guarantee warranty you can trust.
Pest Solutions for Realtors
Real estate transactions are stressful enough without an unexpected pest infestation. You owe it to your client to partner with a pest control company who understands your obligations and can help you clear a property for sale or refinancing. One of the most important parts of this process is the WDI Letter, or Termite Letter.
To guard against potential termite letter scams by other parties, we recommend the buyer’s agent gets their own WDI inspection and letter. Before issuing the letter, our state certified pest control technician completes a thorough termite and wood-destroying pest inspection.
After the inspection, we’ll provide a report detailing any termite damage or wood destroying insect activity on the premises, and recommendations for treatment. (“clear letter” is a misnomer- the inspection is for visible signs of wood destroying insects and we can’t say that it’s “clear” because termites or other wood destroying insects can go unnoticed for a long time and damage may be hidden. )
