New construction

With so much building, Apex is a place where new-construction termite pretreatment matters. Pretreatment has to be coordinated with the builder before the slab or foundation is finished. Builders and new-home buyers can call to discuss timing.

Neighborhoods cut from woods and fields

When woods and fields are cleared for homes, ants, spiders, fire ants and rodents that lived there look for new shelter. New homes on former woodland also back onto wooded buffers where ticks and mosquitoes rest. A quarterly plan is a common choice while a neighborhood settles.

Historic downtown homes

Apex’s older downtown includes houses built long before the recent growth. Older wood and crawl spaces there call for the same attention to termites, wood-boring beetles and moisture as older homes anywhere in the Triangle.
