Professional Termite Inspections for Scottsdale Homeowners and Buyers

Whether you are buying, selling, refinancing, or simply want peace of mind, a careful inspection shows what is going on in your home. Subterranean termites work quietly, often behind walls, beneath floors and along foundation lines, so a trained eye is the best way to know. We look where homeowners cannot, and we explain what we find in plain language.
City Wide Pest Control is family owned and based in Phoenix, and each state-licensed termite inspector in Scottsdale knows the hiding spots common in desert homes. You get a careful inspection, a written wood destroying insect report you can hand to a lender or buyer, and straightforward advice with no pressure to buy work you do not need.

  • Why It Matters

Why Inspections Matter for Arizona Homes

Mild desert winters mean termites do not shut down the way they do in colder climates, so activity can continue through the year. A colony can grow large while staying out of sight, and termite damage is typically excluded from standard homeowner’s insurance, which makes catching problems early the practical approach.
A WDIIR (Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report) is the document most Arizona purchase contracts ask for, and VA and FHA loans commonly require one. Even when no one requires it, an inspection helps buyers see what they are inheriting and helps sellers list with confidence. Regular checks also let you handle small problems before they become costly repairs.

Termite Inspections Across Scottsdale Neighborhoods

The median Scottsdale home was built in 1991, but that middle number covers a lot of ground. About 27 percent of the city’s 139,766 housing units (38,223) were built before 1980, including 8,093 from the 1950s and 11,321 from the 1960s. The median year built is 1971 in South Scottsdale ZIP 85257 and 1979 in the Old Town area, ZIP 85251.
North Scottsdale is much newer, with a median year built of 2000 in ZIP 85255 and 2005 in ZIP 85262. Whether we are visiting an older home or a newer one in Desert Mountain, Troon North, or Grayhawk, we cover the same key areas and tailor our notes to the age and construction of the house. The city runs from 1,150 to 4,877 feet in elevation across 184.5 square miles, so we treat each address on its own.

  • Our Method

How Our Inspection Works

Step 1
Exterior Assessment
We start outside and circle the entire home, checking the foundation edge, stem walls, weep screeds, expansion joints, pipe entries, and any place where wood touches the ground.
Step 2
Interior Inspection
Indoors, we move through every area we can reach, from the kitchen and bathrooms to closets, the garage, and utility spaces with plumbing access. We watch for mud tubes, softened wood, and signs of current or past activity.
Step 3
Attic and Crawl Space
In attics and crawl spaces we can reach, we check the framing for drywood termite signs and for damp conditions that attract subterranean termites.
Step 4
Detailed Written Report
You get a written report that lays out what we found: active termites, old damage, and conditions that could invite them later.
Step 5
Treatment Recommendations
If we find activity, we walk you through your treatment options honestly. If your home is clear, we say so and leave it there.

Termite Inspections We Offer for Every Situation

Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report
WDIIR
  • Real Estate
This WDIIR inspection in Scottsdale produces the standard report for Arizona property sales, also called a termite clearance letter. It records whether wood-destroying pests, including termites, wood-boring beetles, and carpenter ants, are present. VA and FHA lenders and purchase contracts commonly ask for it.

Pre-Purchase Inspection
  • Home Buyers
A real estate termite inspection in Scottsdale for buyers who want a clear picture of termite risk before closing. It reaches past the basic WDIIR to note conditions that could invite future activity, plus tips for prevention.

Annual Maintenance Inspection
  • Homeowners
A routine check for current owners who want to catch activity early. We suggest one each year, and it matters most for homes older than 10 years, those close to desert washes, or lots with established landscaping.

Partnering With Home Inspectors and Realtors on WDIIRs

Many of the WDIIRs we write after a wood destroying insect inspection in Scottsdale arrive through a partner rather than a homeowner. Home inspection firms and real estate agents bring us in to cover the termite portion of a transaction while they handle the rest.

Home inspectors: you handle the roof, systems, and structure, and we handle the termite side. Our WDIIR is issued under Arizona license #2317, so the whole inspection finishes on one schedule.

Realtors: we time WDIIRs for sales, purchases, and refinances around your closing date, in a format lenders and title companies are used to reading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who does termite inspections in Scottsdale?
City Wide Pest Control does. We are a family owned company that has served Maricopa County since 1986. Our technicians and office staff are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division, under license #2317. Call (602) 944-0099 Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, and ask about same-day service.
The steps are the same, but age shapes where we spend time. The median home in Scottsdale was built in 1991, about 27 percent of units predate 1980, and ZIP 85255 in the north has a median year built of 2000. Older houses have had more years of repairs and weather, so we look closely at past work, while newer ones get the same full check.
Often, yes. VA and FHA lenders commonly require a WDIIR, and purchase contracts frequently ask for one too. Housing here runs from a 1971 median year built in ZIP 85257 to 2005 in ZIP 85262, so we tailor the walkthrough to each home and explain the findings clearly.
We start outside, checking the foundation, stem walls, weep screeds, and places where wood meets soil. Then we go through reachable rooms, the garage, and any attic or crawl space, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, and moisture. You receive a written report of what we found, with honest options if treatment makes sense.
Mud tubes on foundations and pipe entries, softened or damaged wood, shed wings, and signs of past or current activity. We also note moisture and other conditions that could attract termites later, and we check for other wood-destroying insects, such as carpenter ants and wood-boring beetles.
Call when you are buying, selling, or refinancing, when you see mud tubes, soft wood, or sticking doors, or when it has been over a year since your last check. Same-day service is available, and our line, (602) 944-0099, is open Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5.
