Yes, homes on slabs are actually at higher termite risk. Slab construction makes it impossible to see under the foundation or inside walls, so termites can work undetected. Preventative measures are essential to keep termites away. Priority Pest Services recommends having a professional inspection to assess your slab home's vulnerability and establish protection. Our state-certified Virginia technicians can identify risks and recommend the right preventative treatment for your foundation type. We offer free home inspections-call (757) 204-4523 to schedule yours and protect your slab home.
