  • Why It Matters

Why Termite Inspections Matter in Anthem

University of Arizona Extension calls termites Arizona’s number one urban pest, and arid land subterranean termites swarm from January to March in areas below 4,000 feet, a range that includes Anthem. Because they feed out of view, a trained inspection is often the first time a homeowner learns they are there.
A WDIIR is the standard wood destroying insect report, and VA and FHA lenders or the purchase contract often call for one on Arizona sales. Even when nobody asks for one, an inspection helps buyers avoid inheriting hidden problems and gives sellers a documented, confident listing. Catching activity early also gives you more options and fewer surprises.

Termite Inspection for Anthem's Desert-Built Homes

According to the Anthem Community Council, Del Webb founded the community in 1999, and it was initially built out in 2008. Census ACS 2020 to 2024 estimates put the median year built for local housing at 2004. Of about 9,481 housing units in the Anthem CDP, roughly 7,438 (about 78 percent) were built from 2000 to 2009, with about 1,250 more from 1990 to 1999.
With so many homes around two decades old, a regular termite check makes sense. University of Arizona Extension says arid land subterranean termites swarm from January to March below 4,000 feet, and that when homes are built in desert settings where those termites fed on creosote and greasewood, they may begin to attack the structure. From Anthem Country Club to The Landing, our inspectors check every home with the same care.

  • Our Method

How Our Inspection Works

Step 1
Exterior Assessment
Outside, we check the full perimeter: foundation edges, stem walls, weep screeds along the stucco, control joints, plumbing penetrations, and any spot where wood touches soil.
Step 2
Interior Inspection
Indoors, we move through every reachable room, from the kitchen and bathrooms to closets, the garage, and utility spaces with plumbing access, looking for mud tubes, wood damage, and any sign of past or present infestation.
Step 3
Attic and Crawl Space
Attic framing and crawl spaces get a look too when we can reach them, checking for drywood termite signs and the moisture that draws subterranean termites.
Step 4
Detailed Written Report
You get a written report that spells out what we found, including active termites, old damage, and conditions that could invite them later.
Step 5
Treatment Recommendations
If we find activity, we explain your treatment options plainly. If your home is clear, we say so and leave it at that.

Working With Home Inspectors and Realtors on WDIIRs

A good share of our WDIIR reports start with a call from a professional partner, not the homeowner. Home inspection companies and real estate agents turn to us as their termite inspector in Anthem, which lets them stay focused on their own part of the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why schedule a termite inspection for a home in Anthem?
University of Arizona Extension calls termites Arizona’s number one urban pest, and arid land subterranean termites swarm from January to March below 4,000 feet, which covers Anthem’s elevation range. Since termites usually work out of sight, a yearly inspection is an easy way to catch activity before it spreads.
Most are fairly young, but age is not the only factor. Census ACS 2020 to 2024 estimates put the median year built for housing in the Anthem CDP at 2004, with about 78 percent of roughly 9,481 units built from 2000 to 2009. Many of those homes are now around two decades old, a sensible point for a regular check.
University of Arizona Extension notes that when homes are built in desert settings where arid land termites fed on creosote and greasewood, the termites may begin to attack the structure. That is a statewide pattern, and it is one reason our inspectors check foundations, stem walls, and wood-to-soil contact points on every home.
A termite inspection is a visual check of a home for wood destroying insects and the conditions that attract them. Your inspector examines the exterior perimeter, foundation, stem walls, plumbing penetrations, accessible interior rooms, and attic or crawl spaces, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, and past or present activity, then writes up a clear report.
City Wide Pest Control is a locally owned and operated, family owned company. Our technicians and office staff are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division (license #2317). Call when you are buying, selling, or refinancing, when you see mud tubes or soft wood, or when it has been a year since your last check: (602) 944-0099.
City Wide Pest Control does. Every inspection ends with a written report that covers any active infestation, previous damage, and conditions that could invite activity later. If we find evidence, we walk you through your treatment options in plain language. If your home is clear, we tell you that too, with no unnecessary work or upselling.
