What does a termite pre-treatment tag mean?

A termite pre-treatment tag indicates the structure received a termite prevention treatment intended to help prevent subterranean termites, typically during new construction, and that a warranty was issued to the builder.

Who holds the termite pre-treatment warranty—homeowner or builder?

Many pre-treatment warranties are initially issued to the builder. Transfer terms and coverage details can vary by warranty document, so it’s important to review the paperwork provided at closing.

I didn’t receive my termite warranty paperwork at closing. What should I do?

If you did not receive your warranty at closing, contact your builder first. You can also contact the pest control company listed on the tag to request documentation or guidance on next steps.

Where can I find the date of the final termite pre-treatment?

The date of final treatment may be written on the tag (often on the back). If it’s not present or is unclear, contact the company listed on the tag to request the date.

Is a termite pre-treatment the same as a termite bond?

Not always. A pre-treatment is a preventive treatment applied during construction. A “bond” or ongoing coverage may require separate terms, renewals, inspections, or service agreements depending on the warranty.

Does a pre-treatment guarantee my home will never get termites?

No. Pre-treatments reduce risk, but no treatment can guarantee a property will never have termite activity. Warranty and inspection requirements vary by program.

What should I do if I see signs of termites in a pre-treated structure?

If you notice possible termite signs (such as mud tubes or damaged wood), schedule a professional inspection as soon as possible and reference your pre-treatment/warranty paperwork when you call.

Will renovations or additions affect my termite pre-treatment coverage?

They can. Changes like additions, new slabs, grading, or landscaping may affect barriers and coverage. Review your warranty terms and consider an inspection before or after major work.
