Pest control for pre-construction sites

PCAT is a chemical soil barrier applied to the substrate before concrete is poured, saturating the ground under and around the future slab so subterranean termites cannot reach the structure from below. It has to be done at this stage because once the slab is cast you can no longer treat the soil beneath it — the only access is gone. It is the single most cost-effective termite intervention for any UAE villa or low-rise.

A correctly applied PCAT barrier protects the structure for 8 to 10 years from a single application, after which it can be renewed. We back the work with a warranty and provide a documented handover certificate to your project engineer. The treatment is recorded with photographs and GPS-tagged evidence, so there is verifiable proof the barrier was applied to the full footprint.

Yes. Our PCAT process is aligned to Dubai Municipality specification DM-PH-NA-S04 and produces the documentation engineers and authorities require at handover, including the treatment certificate and the photo and GPS-tagged record. This makes it straightforward to satisfy project sign-off and gives the developer defensible proof that anti-termite measures were completed before slab pour.

Significantly. PCAT is priced at roughly AED 4–6 per square foot of foundation footprint as a one-time cost, whereas post-construction termite remediation means drilling through finished floors, injecting under slabs and repairing structural and cosmetic damage — many times the price and far more disruptive. Which chemical we use (Termidor SC or Premise 200) is selected at the project survey based on soil and site conditions to give the longest-lasting barrier.
