Yes, homes built on slabs need termite protection. In fact, slab foundations can be more vulnerable because you can't see underneath the slab or easily inspect the walls for termite activity. Without preventative measures, termites can establish colonies and cause damage you won't notice until it's serious.

That's why it's important to have preventative treatments in place. Priority Pest Services recommends scheduling a free home inspection to evaluate your slab home's termite risk. Our state-certified technicians will look for signs of termites and recommend the right protection strategy for your situation.
