Termite exterminators in Salt Lake City require an inspector to audit both the inside and outside of a building, a building’s foundations and basements or crawl spaces looking for termite activity. It’s best to have a termite inspection every few years, or right away if people in your community have reported termite problems.
The next step in Salt Lake City termite control is determining the best treatment. Termite management and treatment is not one size fits all. We will use liquid treatment, baiting treatment or a combination of both based on the situation.

Wood sources, especially wet wood sources, are commonly the cause for termite infestations. If you have a chopped or decaying wood pile near your home, tree branches draping across your roof or siding, or thick wood mulch against your home’s foundation, you may accidentally be inviting termites to the party. Gutters and downspouts clogged with branches and leaves can even draw termites towards the home.
Additionally, termites are also drawn to nest in foam insulation, so if you find them beneath your siding, they may be burrowing towards the wood of your exterior walls. Our termite control experts can help you identify problem areas during a termite inspection.
