Why it's required
Pre-treatment is a code requirement, not an option
Subterranean termites are established throughout Southern Utah, and Utah building code requires termite pre-treatment on all new construction — applied to the soil before the foundation is poured. It's the one window where the ground under the slab can be treated directly; after concrete, that opportunity is gone.
A proper pre-treat creates a continuous treated barrier between the soil and the structure, protecting the home for years and satisfying the inspection requirement in one visit. An improper one — or a missing one — means failed inspections, schedule slips, and callbacks nobody budgeted for.
We've been treating for termites in this soil for 20+ years. Your pre-treat gets done right, on schedule, with the documentation to prove it.
What a pre-treat visit looks like
- 1. Coordinate — we schedule against your pour date and confirm the site is graded and ready.
- 2. Treat — a continuous termiticide barrier is applied to the soil across the slab footprint and footings.
- 3. Document — you get the treatment records your inspector expects, same day.
- 4. Pour on schedule — no waiting on us, no inspection surprises.

Builder questions
Frequently asked
Is termite pre-treatment actually required in Utah?
Yes. Utah building code requires termite pre-treatment on new construction before the foundation is poured. Your inspector will look for it — pouring without it risks failed inspections and expensive rework.
How is pre-treatment priced?
By the project — square footage and site conditions drive the number, so we bid each job individually. Our rates are among the most competitive in Southern Utah, and volume builders get volume treatment. Request a bid and see for yourself.
Will you work around our pour schedule?
That's the job. We coordinate with your super, treat when the site is ready, and stay flexible when schedules move — because they always do. A pre-treat should never be the reason a pour slips.
Do we get documentation for the inspector?
Yes — you'll get the treatment documentation your inspector expects, delivered with the job, every time.
