On-Site in Flower Mound With The Dallas Builder Club’s Matt Smith

How TermiSTOPS ARE ProtectING New Dallas-Area Homes

At a custom home project in Flower Mound, Texas, Matt Smith from Dean & Co. Custom Homes speaks with termite-protection expert Joel Roehling about using Termistop stainless-steel mesh as an added defense against subterranean termites. Joel explains how termites can enter through concealed openings around plumbing penetrations and tub box-outs. Termistop flanges and mesh trays are installed before the concrete is poured, allowing the mesh edges to become embedded in the slab and create a durable physical barrier at these vulnerable entry points.

The video also explains why stainless-steel mesh can complement traditional borate wood treatments. While borate products affect termites after they enter treated framing, the mesh is designed to prevent them from entering through inaccessible areas beneath the home. The system can accommodate standard pipes, large slab openings, and custom applications, and it still requires annual perimeter inspections for signs of termite activity.

Homeowners and pest-control professionals can complete Termistop’s online accreditation program and order the components for installation from our website.
