Residential Termite Treatment in Tempe, Arizona

Looking for termite control in Tempe? Subterranean termites cause the most harm of any species in Arizona, and they work out of underground colonies that can hold hundreds of thousands of insects. They feed on wood framing, the paper face of drywall and structural supports, usually starting below the surface. Because the activity stays hidden, many homeowners learn about it only after repairs are needed.
City Wide Pest Control has been family owned since 1986, and as a locally owned and operated termite company in Tempe, we know how Arizona’s desert soil and heat suit termites. Our technicians and office staff are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division (license #2317). Residential customers never sign a contract.

  • Warning Signs

Signs You May Have Termites

Keep an eye out for these clues around your home.

Wood that sounds hollow when tapped near doors, windows, and baseboards

Tiny shed wings piled on sills or around lights after a swarm

Paint that bubbles or peels on walls and ceilings, much like water damage

Wood in structural areas that feels soft or crumbly

Pinholes in drywall or gritty frass, the droppings termites leave

If any of these sound familiar, call (602) 944-0099 and we will schedule a termite inspection.

  • Why It Matters

Why Arizona Homes Need Termite Protection

Arizona’s warm soil and monsoon moisture give subterranean colonies friendly conditions through the year. Many states see termites slow down in cold months, but here they stay active all 12 months, which is why regular subterranean termite treatment is such a smart habit for homeowners in this state.
Standard homeowner’s insurance typically does not cover termite damage, so catching activity early protects your budget as well as your home. A single colony left alone can work through framing, flooring and support beams over time, which is why a yearly inspection and a prompt treatment plan are worth putting on the calendar.

Termite Care for Tempe Homes and Yards

The median home in Tempe was built in 1986, and about 36 percent of the city’s 91,442 housing units (32,952) went up before 1980. Older construction has had more time for gaps to open around slabs and pipes, so we check those first. Single-family detached homes make up about 36 percent of housing units (32,688 of 91,442), and each one gets the same careful termite pest control in Tempe.
Flood irrigation matters here too: the City of Tempe provides it to 17 city parks and about 850 residential customers, maintaining more than 37 miles of irrigation mains and about 14,500 deliveries a year. Water is delivered starting at 10 p.m. Sunday and can take several days to finish, with no water in November or December due to the SRP dry-up. If your yard floods this way, tell us, because we note where moisture collects near the foundation. For termite removal in Tempe, that detail helps us plan.

  • Our Method

How Our Termite Process Works

Step 1
Thorough Inspection
A licensed technician starts by checking the attic, crawl spaces, foundation, pipe penetrations and any spot where wood meets soil. We look for active termites, their entry routes, and conditions that attract them.
Step 2
Custom Treatment Plan
Next we build a treatment plan around your home’s construction, soil and the extent of the activity. Every property gets its own approach.
Step 3
Liquid Barrier Treatment
We apply professional-grade termiticide along the foundation perimeter, near pipe penetrations and at any entry points we found. The result is a continuous barrier that kills termites on contact and keeps new ones from getting through.
Step 4
Monitoring and Follow-Up
Afterward we keep watching your property for new activity and re-treat when needed. All findings are documented so you have a record.
Step 5
1-Year Warranty
Every termite treatment carries a one-year warranty, with annual renewal available for extended coverage.
  • Know Your Pest

Termite Species Found Around Tempe

Desert subterranean termite (Heterotermes aureus) soldier and workers inside a wood gallery
Desert Subterranean Termite
Heterotermes aureus
  • High Risk
This is the termite most often found across Maricopa County. Workers are pale and soft-bodied, roughly a quarter inch long. The colony lives in the soil and travels through covered mud tubes to timber above, staying busy all year in desert ground.
Arid-land subterranean termite (Reticulitermes tibialis) workers and a soldier on damaged wood
Arid-Land Subterranean Termite
Reticulitermes tibialis
  • High Risk
A close relative of the desert subterranean, with somewhat larger colonies. It favors irrigated, mulched landscaping and builds wide networks of mud tubes. It turns up most often in older areas shaded by mature trees and thick plantings.

Western Drywood Termite
Incisitermes minor
  • Moderate Risk
Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites live inside the wood they consume, so they need neither soil nor mud tubes. Look for them in attic framing, window sills and door frames. Infestations tend to stay in one area but can spread if left alone.

Same-day service is available.
Flood irrigation is worth mentioning when you call. The City of Tempe delivers it to about 850 residential customers, starting at 10 p.m. Sunday, with no water in November or December due to the SRP dry-up. We cannot predict termite activity from watering alone, but we note where moisture collects near foundations and planters during an inspection.
