What if I told you old houses in Aruba aren’t the only ones affected by termites? They attack from the ground up! Before you even start building walls, a proper termite risk assessment and professional pre-foundation treatment can save your property from expensive damage later on.
Termite control isn’t just a repair service; it’s an investment in how your home is built. With the right foundation treatment and design, you can prevent infestations before they ever start.
The First Step to a Termite-Free Home in Aruba
Aruba’s tropical climate creates perfect conditions for subterranean termites. These insects live underground and can move unseen through soil cracks, concrete joints, and foundation gaps.
An inspection before construction allows professionals to identify potential risks, like:
- Soil with excess moisture or organic debris
- Tree roots or stumps near the building site
- Previous termite activity in the surrounding areas
Detecting these factors early means you can adapt your construction plan and integrate protective measures before any damage occurs.
The Foundation of Defense: Professional Pest Control’s Pre-Foundation Termite Treatment
At Professional Pest Control Aruba, our Pre-Foundation Termite Treatment is a specialized process done before pouring the floor of your property. This service forms the first line of defense for your future home, and it’s one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent subterranean termites.
How it works:
- The soil is prepared, leveled, and cleared of organic material.
- A professional termiticide is applied evenly across the entire foundation area and along the perimeter.
- Critical spots — such as wall bases, plumbing entries, and joints — receive extra treatment.
- Once the treatment is complete, construction continues as normal.
What makes Professional Pest Control’s treatment different:
- It’s performed before the floor is poured, ensuring full coverage and long-lasting results.
- Treated buildings receive a three-year warranty. Suppose any subterranean termite activity is detected during that period.
- It’s a cost-effective service that protects your home from day one.
Beyond the Foundation: Treatments for Dry-Wood Termites and Powder Post Beetles
Some infestations don’t come from below; they start inside your ceiling or furniture. That’s why we also provide:
- Special gas/spray treatments for dry-wood termites in ceilings and wooden structures.
- Special gas/spray treatments for powder post beetles in furniture and cabinetry.
These targeted applications eliminate hidden colonies without damaging your property’s materials, another reason why partnering with us ensures full protection from floor to roof.

Designing Termite-Resistant Homes: Architectural Tips That Keep Pests Out
Small architectural choices can make a big difference in termite prevention. Here are practical design ideas that work perfectly with Professional Pest Control’s pre-foundation treatment:
| Design Choice | Termite Protection Advantage |
| Raised foundations | Reduces contact between soil and wooden structures. |
| Concrete slabs and barriers | Block subterranean termite tunnels. |
| Proper soil clearance | Keeps wooden materials safely above ground level. |
| Ventilated crawl spaces | Lower moisture and humidity under floors. |
| Effective drainage systems | Prevent standing water near foundations. |
| Treated or naturally resistant wood | Less attractive to termite colonies. |
| Clean landscaping | Prevents roots or plants from bridging soil to walls. |
When combined with our pre-foundation treatment, these design tips create a complete prevention plan for any new construction in Aruba.
