Why subterranean termites are a problem

The most economically damaging pest in Utah, silently hollowing sills, studs, and floors.

How Antex handles subterranean termites

Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.

Prevention tips

Keep wood off soil, fix grade and moisture issues, and get annual professional inspections.
