While your new home has been treated, you are still at risk. Here are some key facts you should know about the termite treatment for new construction:

● HomeTeam helps protect your new home with their borate wood pretreatment, including a $1 million warranty.  
● The best way to protect the wooden structure of a new home from subterranean termites is to make sure that the wood is so distasteful that it will head elsewhere.  
● Highly effective borate wood pretreatment from HomeTeam penetrates deep inside the lumber framework acting as both a termiticide and termite repellant.  
● You will not need to be home for the service.
