Scottsdale Termite Control for Single-Family Homes

Subterranean termites are the most destructive species in Arizona. They live underground in large colonies and feed on framing lumber, drywall paper and support beams from below, so damage often stays out of sight until a repair is underway. In Scottsdale, about 50 percent of housing units (69,606) are single-family detached homes, which means a lot of wood framing worth protecting.
As a family owned termite company in Scottsdale, City Wide Pest Control understands how desert soil and irrigated landscaping shape termite activity, and how to protect a home from it. We are based in Phoenix and hold Arizona license #2317. Every technician and office team member is licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division, and residential service never requires a contract.

  • Warning Signs

Common Signs of Termite Activity

Keep an eye out for these clues around your home.

Mud tubes climbing up stem walls, foundations, or around pipe openings

Wood that sounds hollow when knocked, often near door casings, window frames, and baseboards

Shed wings piled on windowsills, by doors, or beneath light fixtures after a swarm

Blistering or flaking paint on walls or ceilings that looks like moisture damage

Soft or crumbly wood in framing, floors, or supports

Tiny holes in drywall, or frass (termite droppings) piled nearby

If any of these look familiar, call (602) 944-0099 to set up a termite inspection, with same-day service available.

  • Why It Matters

Why Termite Protection Matters in Arizona

Arizona’s warm soil and monsoon moisture give subterranean colonies good conditions nearly all year. Termites here do not slow down for winter the way they do in colder states, so activity can continue for 12 months. That is why regular inspection and a proper barrier treatment are worth having in place.
Standard homeowner’s insurance policies typically exclude termite damage, so repairs can fall on the property owner. A colony left alone can quietly weaken floor joists, wall framing and beams over time. Catching activity early keeps the fix smaller, and an inspection is the simplest way to learn where your home stands.

Termite Protection Across Scottsdale's Older and Newer Homes

Housing age varies a lot across the city. The median year built for Scottsdale housing is 1991, yet about 27 percent of units (38,223 of 139,766) were built before 1980, including 8,093 from the 1950s and 11,321 from the 1960s. In South Scottsdale ZIP 85257 the median year built is 1971, and in the Old Town area ZIP 85251 it is 1979, so a close look at foundations, crawl spaces and attics is worth scheduling.
Rain and landscaping also play a part. Scottsdale averages 7.66 inches of rain a year, and UA Cooperative Extension notes that winged termites and ants swarm during monsoon (statewide guidance). Since July 2023, Ordinance 4606 (adopted 7 to 0 by the City Council) has limited grass turf on new single-family homes to rear yards only. Our termite pest control in Scottsdale reaches neighborhoods such as McCormick Ranch, DC Ranch and Grayhawk, and we check irrigation, mulch and drainage wherever we work.

  • Our Method

Our Termite Treatment Process

Step 1
Thorough Inspection
A licensed technician checks the foundation, crawl spaces, attic, pipe penetrations, and anywhere wood meets soil. We look for active termites, their entry routes, and conditions that attract them.
Step 2
Custom Treatment Plan
Using what the inspection shows, we build a plan around your home’s construction, soil, and how far the activity has spread. Every plan is fitted to the property.
Step 3
Liquid Barrier Treatment
For termite removal in Scottsdale, we apply professional-grade termiticide at the foundation perimeter, pipe penetrations, and entry points, creating a continuous barrier that kills termites on contact and keeps them out.
Step 4
Monitoring and Follow-Up
Afterward we check the property for further activity and re-treat when needed, and we keep written records of what we find for you.
Step 5
1-Year Warranty
Every termite treatment we complete is covered by a 1-year warranty.

Termite Species Found in Scottsdale

Desert subterranean termite (Heterotermes aureus) soldier and workers inside a wood gallery
Desert Subterranean Termite
Heterotermes aureus
  • High Risk
The termite most often found across Maricopa County. Workers are tiny, pale and soft, roughly 1/4 inch long. Colonies live below ground and send up mud tubes to get at wood, staying active year-round in the region’s warm desert soil.
Arid-land subterranean termite (Reticulitermes tibialis) workers and a soldier on damaged wood
Arid-Land Subterranean Termite
Reticulitermes tibialis
  • High Risk
Behaves much like the desert subterranean, though colonies can run somewhat larger. It favors irrigated, mulched landscaping and builds wide networks of mud tubes. Established neighborhoods with large trees and heavy landscaping are where it shows up most often.

Western Drywood Termite
Incisitermes minor
  • Moderate Risk
Drywood termites differ from subterranean ones: they live entirely within the wood they eat, never needing soil or mud tubes. They favor attic framing, window sills and door frames. Activity tends to stay in one area, though it can spread without treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you treat termites in a Scottsdale home?
A licensed technician inspects the foundation, crawl spaces, attic and wood-to-soil contact points, then we build a plan around your home’s construction and soil. Professional-grade termiticide goes on at the foundation perimeter, pipe penetrations and entry points, and we monitor afterward. Same-day service is available Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, at (602) 944-0099.
Not a different treatment, but a closer look. About 27 percent of Scottsdale housing units were built before 1980, and the median year built is 1971 in ZIP 85257 and 1979 in ZIP 85251. We check foundations, crawl spaces, attic framing and plumbing penetrations, and tailor the plan to how each home was built.
Scottsdale averages 7.66 inches of rain a year, and UA Cooperative Extension notes that winged termites and ants swarm during monsoon (statewide guidance). Finding wings near windows, doors or lights is a good reason to book a termite inspection. Fixing irrigation leaks and keeping drainage away from the foundation also helps.
We work with homeowners from Old Town to the foothills, including McCormick Ranch, Gainey Ranch, DC Ranch, Desert Mountain, Troon North and Grayhawk. Single-family homes, whether detached or attached, get the same inspection-first approach. Call (602) 944-0099 Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, and we can often schedule same-day service.
We offer kid and pet friendly treatment options, and our work follows Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles. Tell us about the children and pets in your household when you call, and your technician will explain the options for your home before any work starts.
The cost depends on your home’s size, construction and how much activity we find, so we inspect first and then explain the plan. Residential service has no contracts, and every termite treatment carries a 1-year warranty. Call (602) 944-0099, Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, to set up a visit.
