Careful Termite Inspections for Glendale Homeowners

Maybe you are buying, selling or refinancing, or maybe you just want peace of mind about the house you live in. Either way, a thorough inspection tells you what is really going on. Termites in Arizona work quietly, often behind walls, beneath floors and along foundation edges, so a trained set of eyes is the surest way to see what you cannot.
Looking for a termite inspection company in Glendale that explains its findings plainly? City Wide Pest Control is locally owned and operated, and our Arizona-licensed inspectors know where termites hide in desert homes. You get a thorough inspection, clear written documentation and honest recommendations, with no pressure to buy work you do not need.

  • Why It Matters

Why Inspections Matter for Arizona Homes

Arizona’s warm soil keeps termites active for much of the year, with no real winter shutdown like colder states see. A mature subterranean colony can number in the hundreds of thousands, and termite damage is generally not something standard homeowner’s insurance pays for.
VA and FHA lenders typically want a WDIIR, which documents a wood destroying insect inspection in Glendale, and many Arizona purchase contracts ask for one as well. Even when no one requires it, the report keeps buyers from inheriting surprises and lets sellers list with confidence. Spotting trouble early also keeps repairs smaller and easier to plan.

Termite Inspection Notes for Glendale Homes

Housing age shapes what we look for in Glendale. Of the city’s 98,383 housing units, about 33,140 (roughly 34 percent) were built before 1980, including 1,709 built in 1939 or earlier. Another 22,908 were built from 1980 to 1989 and 22,038 from 1970 to 1979, so about 46 percent of the housing stock comes from those two decades, and the median year built is 1987. With that range of ages, we pay close attention to foundations, plumbing penetrations and anywhere wood meets soil.
University of Arizona Extension notes that at least 17 termite species live in Arizona, and that the floating slab, the most common house construction in the state, is quite susceptible to termite attack. That is why slab edges and expansion joints get a careful look on every visit. Pet owners who enjoy Glendale’s four off-leash dog parks, such as Foothills Park and Sahuaro Ranch Park, will also like that we offer kid and pet friendly treatment options if an inspection leads to a treatment plan.

  • Our Method

How Our Inspection Works

Step 1
Exterior Assessment
We start outside and circle the whole property: expansion joints and weep screeds in the stucco, the foundation and stem walls, pipe penetrations, and any place wood touches soil.
Step 2
Interior Inspection
Next we move indoors and go through every reachable space: kitchen, bathrooms, garage, closets, utility rooms and any spot where plumbing is exposed. We watch for mud tubes, soft or damaged wood, and signs of current or earlier activity.
Step 3
Attic and Crawl Space
When we can get to them, attic framing and crawl spaces get a look too, since they can show drywood termite activity or the moisture that draws subterranean termites.
Step 4
Detailed Written Report
Afterward you get a plain, written report covering active infestation, past damage and any conditions that could invite termites later.
Step 5
Treatment Recommendations
If we find evidence, we explain your treatment options and costs openly. If your home is clear, we tell you so and stop there.

Inspection Types for Every Situation

Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report
WDIIR
  • Real Estate
The WDIIR inspection in Glendale is the standard report for Arizona home sales, sometimes called a termite clearance letter. It records whether termites, carpenter ants or wood-boring beetles are present. VA and FHA lenders usually require it, and so do many purchase contracts.

Pre-Purchase Inspection
  • Home Buyers
Buyers wanting a deeper look before closing can order a real estate termite inspection in Glendale. It covers more than the basic WDIIR, adding conditions that could invite activity later and ways to prevent it.

Annual Maintenance Inspection
  • Homeowners
A routine check for current homeowners who want to catch activity early. We suggest one each year, most of all for houses older than 10 years, lots with mature landscaping or sites close to desert washes.

Working With Home Inspectors and Realtors on WDIIRs

Many of the reports we write begin with a call from a partner instead of the homeowner. Inspection firms and agents around the West Valley bring us in to cover the termite portion, which leaves them free to handle the rest of the deal.

Home inspectors: you take the structure, roof, electrical and plumbing, and we take termites and other wood pests, writing up the WDIIR on our own Arizona license (#2317) so everything closes on one schedule.

Realtors: for a sale, purchase or refinance, we line the WDIIR up with your closing date and format it the way title companies and lenders prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can inspect a Glendale home for termites?
City Wide Pest Control sends licensed technicians to Glendale homes. Our technicians and office staff are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division, and we hold Arizona license #2317. We have served Maricopa County for over 40 years, and same-day service is available. Call (602) 944-0099, Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5.
About 33,140 of Glendale’s 98,383 housing units, roughly 34 percent, were built before 1980. Age alone does not mean a home has termites, but foundations, plumbing penetrations and wood touching soil are where we look, and those details vary from house to house. A yearly inspection is a sensible habit for any Arizona home, especially one older than 10 years.
University of Arizona Extension says at least 17 termite species live in Arizona and that the floating slab, the most common house construction in the state, is quite susceptible to termite attack. Whatever your home sits on, we examine slab edges, expansion joints and stem walls closely, and we report what we find in writing.
A termite inspector looks for mud tubes on foundations, stem walls and plumbing penetrations, soft or damaged wood, discarded wings and signs of current or past activity. We also note moisture and wood-to-soil contact that can invite termites later. We check the exterior, interior, attic and crawl spaces where accessible, then give you a written report.
We walk the outside of your property first, then move through every reachable room and the attic or crawl space where we can get in. You receive a written report listing any active infestation, past damage and conditions that could invite termites. If something turns up, we explain your treatment options. If your home is clear, we tell you so.
Call when you are buying, selling or refinancing, when a lender or contract asks for a WDIIR, or when you notice mud tubes, soft wood around frames or sticking doors. Reports of termites nearby are another reason, and so is going more than a year without a check. Our licensed team is at (602) 944-0099, Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5.
