  • Why It Matters

Why Regular Termite Checks Make Sense

Arizona is home to at least 17 termite species, mainly drywood and subterranean types. The University of Arizona recommends that homeowners check at least once a year for mud tubes, wings or pellets, and request a professional inspection if signs appear. A routine inspection takes the guesswork out of that.
A WDIIR is the report lenders on VA and FHA loans often ask for, and many purchase contracts call for it too. Even when nobody requires one, it shows buyers what they are getting and gives sellers a documented answer. The University of Arizona also notes that the termiticide barrier on most new homes protects for only a specified amount of time.

Termite Inspections for Fountain Hills Homes

Fountain Hills was established in December 1970 by McCulloch Properties, incorporated as a town in 1989 and counted 23,820 residents in the 2020 U.S. Census. Its housing leans established: about 70 percent of units (9,291 of 13,177) were built before 2000, including 4,662 in the 1990s, 3,038 in the 1980s and 1,499 in the 1970s, while only about 1,038 date from 2010 or later.
The town covers about 24 square miles, bordered by the McDowell Mountains and Scottsdale to the west and McDowell Mountain Regional Park to the north. Whether a home sits in FireRock, Eagle Mountain or SunRidge Canyon, the University of Arizona notes that floating slab construction, the most common house type in Arizona, is quite susceptible to termites, and that the termiticide barrier on most new homes protects for only a specified amount of time. That makes a yearly inspection a sensible habit for newer and older homes alike.

  • Our Method

How Our Inspection Works

Step 1
Exterior Assessment
We begin outdoors and circle the entire home, checking wood that touches soil, expansion joints, weep screeds on stucco, plumbing entry points, stem walls and the foundation.
Step 2
Interior Inspection
Next we go indoors to every reachable space, including the garage, kitchen, bathrooms, closets, utility rooms and spots where plumbing is exposed. Mud tubes, wood damage and signs of current or past activity are what we watch for.
Step 3
Attic and Crawl Space
Attic framing and crawl spaces get a look too when we can get to them, since they can show drywood termite activity and the moisture that draws subterranean termites.
Step 4
Detailed Written Report
Afterward you get a written report that spells out what we found, from active termites and old damage to conditions that could invite them later.
Step 5
Treatment Recommendations
When we find activity, we lay out treatment options in plain terms. When a home checks out clean, we say so and stop there.

Kinds of Termite Inspections We Offer

Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report
WDIIR
  • Real Estate
Our wood destroying insect inspection in Fountain Hills is the standard report used in Arizona real estate deals, sometimes called a termite clearance letter. It records whether termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles or other wood destroying insects are present. Lenders on VA and FHA loans or the purchase contract usually call for it.

Pre-Purchase Inspection
  • Home Buyers
A closer look for buyers who want to understand termite risk before closing. It goes past the standard WDIIR to note conditions that could invite termites later, along with prevention suggestions.

Annual Maintenance Inspection
  • Homeowners
A routine check for owners who want to catch activity early. A yearly visit suits any Arizona home, and in Fountain Hills, where the median home dates to 1994, it is especially worthwhile.

Inspectors and Realtors Who Partner With Us on WDIIRs

Many of the WDIIRs we write begin with a referral from a partner instead of a homeowner. Home inspectors and real estate agents who work in Fountain Hills hand the termite side of a transaction to City Wide Pest Control and keep their own portion moving.

Home inspectors: you take care of the roof, wiring, pipes and structure, while we handle wood destroying insects and issue the WDIIR under Arizona license #2317, so everything wraps up on one schedule.

About 70 percent of the town’s housing units (9,291 of 13,177) were built before 2000, and the median year built is 1994. With so many established homes, a yearly check makes sense. The University of Arizona recommends looking for mud tubes, wings or pellets and requesting a professional inspection if any appear.
Yes. Only about 1,038 homes in Fountain Hills were built in 2010 or later, but newer homes are not exempt. The University of Arizona says floating slab construction, the most common house type in Arizona, is quite susceptible to termites, and the termiticide barrier on most new homes protects for only a specified amount of time.
A termite inspection is a careful check of a home’s exterior, interior, and attic or crawl spaces where reachable. The inspector looks for live termites, mud tubes, wood damage and conditions that attract them. You then receive a written report of the findings, and if activity turns up, we explain your treatment options.
Outside, an inspector examines the foundation, stem walls, weep screeds, expansion joints, plumbing penetrations and anywhere wood touches soil. Inside, they check the garage, kitchen, bathrooms, closets and utility areas for mud tubes, wood damage and signs of past or current activity. Attics and crawl spaces are included where accessible.
Call when you notice mud tubes, wings or pellets, when doors or windows stick or nearby wood feels soft, or when it has been more than a year since your last inspection. You should also schedule one when buying, selling or refinancing. The University of Arizona recommends requesting a professional inspection whenever signs appear.
