Concrete slab-termite pre-treat costs

[Les]

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

Your best and most accurate bet would be to phone a local pest company like Terminex.

They quoted $.58 per sq ft and that seemed out of line.

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.

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!

You and Molly Ringwold! Thanks

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.

Personally Les I'd go with a good independent company. They are generally less expensive with as good or better customer service.
