Les Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 This is not a "professional question". I have no idea what the cost would be to pre-treat prior to pouring a monolithic slab. Mostly looking for round figures for the midwest US. I assume it is priced by the sq foot with average specs: .5% approved chemical and normal protocols. I am not exactly in termite land up here in Mich. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusty Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Your best and most accurate bet would be to phone a local pest company like Terminex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 They quoted $.58 per sq ft and that seemed out of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul MacLean Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I've never priced a pretreat for a slab around here, but $0.58/sq ft (that's $1450 for a 2500 sq ft house) sounds about right for treating and existing house on slab in the Austin area.

Scottpat Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Pre treats in my area go for about $0.43/sq ft. And that is with a pretty hot pink or green dye in the chemical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Pritchard Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Down here in termite land last time I checked which was several years ago it was .15 -.20 cents a sq.ft. there was a minimum charge of $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonTx Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Personally Les I'd go with a good independent company. They are generally less expensive with as good or better customer service. Donald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
