Professional Termite Inspections for Tempe Homeowners

Buying, selling, refinancing, or just checking on the house you already own? A professional inspection tells you what is really going on behind the drywall and under the floors. Subterranean termites work quietly in places a homeowner rarely looks, like wall cavities, slab edges, and foundation lines, so a trained set of eyes is the surest way to know where your home stands.
City Wide Pest Control is locally owned and operated, based in Phoenix, and our inspectors are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division. Need a WDIIR inspection in Tempe or a general check of your property? You get a thorough walk-through, a plain-language written report, and straight recommendations with no pressure to buy anything extra.

  • Why It Matters

Why Regular Inspections Matter in Tempe

Warm Arizona soil lets termites stay active through much of the year, since they do not go dormant the way they do in colder climates. Colonies can grow large and feed unseen for a long time, and standard homeowner’s insurance generally does not cover termite damage, so catching activity early is what protects your budget.
A WDIIR, the standard wood destroying insect report, is commonly part of VA and FHA loans and many Arizona purchase contracts. Even when no one asks for one, the report helps buyers know what they are taking on and gives sellers a documented answer before questions come up. Finding activity early also keeps repairs smaller and simpler to plan.

Termite Inspections Across Tempe's Neighborhoods

About 36 percent of Tempe’s 91,442 housing units (32,952) were built before 1980, and the median unit dates to 1986, so many homes have had years for small gaps and damp spots to develop. Historic pockets such as Maple-Ash and the University Park Historic District sit alongside newer construction, since only about 15.5 percent of units were built in 2010 or later.
Water is part of the picture as well. Flood irrigation here 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, so we note moisture near foundations during each visit. For upkeep between inspections, the city’s pest guide recommends 20-mesh window screens and quarter-inch wire mesh over attic and roof vents.

  • Our Method

How Our Inspection Works

Step 1
Exterior Assessment
Your termite inspector in Tempe starts outside and walks the full perimeter, checking expansion joints, the foundation, stem walls, pipe penetrations, stucco weep screeds, and anywhere wood meets soil.
Step 2
Interior Inspection
Inside, we check the garage, closets, utility rooms, kitchen, and bathrooms, plus any spot with plumbing access. We watch for mud tubes, hollowed wood, and signs of current or earlier activity.
Step 3
Attic and Crawl Space
Attic framing and crawl spaces get a look wherever we can reach them, checking for drywood termites and the moisture that draws subterranean ones.
Step 4
Detailed Written Report
You get a written report you can actually follow, covering any active infestation, past damage, and conditions that could invite termites later.
Step 5
Treatment Recommendations
If we find activity, we talk through your treatment options honestly. If your home checks out clean, we say so and leave it at that.

Termite Inspection Options for Every Situation

Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report
WDIIR
  • Real Estate
This is the standard report for Arizona home sales, also called a termite clearance letter. It notes whether termites, wood-boring beetles, carpenter ants, or other wood-damaging pests are present. Lenders on VA and FHA loans and many purchase contracts call for it, and it is the heart of a wood destroying insect inspection in Tempe.

A routine check for current homeowners who want to catch activity early. We suggest one each year for Arizona homes, especially those over 10 years old, near desert washes, or with mature landscaping.

Working With Home Inspectors and Realtors on WDIIRs

Many of the WDIIRs we write start with a referral from a partner rather than the homeowner. Agents and home inspection firms around the Valley hand us the termite portion of a transaction so they can concentrate on their own work.

Home inspectors: keep your attention on the building and its systems. Our licensed team looks for termites and other wood-feeding pests, then prepares the WDIIR on our own state credentials, so everything wraps up together.

Realtors: we schedule WDIIRs for sales, purchases, and refinances to fit your closing date, and format each report for what lenders and title companies need.

  • FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect from an inspection at my Tempe, AZ home?
Our inspector walks the outside first, checking the foundation, stem walls, weep screeds, expansion joints, and pipe penetrations. Inside, we go through accessible rooms, the garage, and the attic or crawl spaces where we can reach them. You then receive a written report of findings, and if activity turns up, we explain your options honestly.
Any home can benefit, and age is one reason to be consistent. About 36 percent of the city’s 91,442 housing units were built before 1980, and the median home dates to 1986. Older construction has had more years for gaps and moisture to appear, so we suggest yearly inspections, especially for properties over 10 years old.
It can be worth mentioning. Flood irrigation 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. Because moisture near a foundation can attract subterranean termites, we note wet areas along the perimeter during the inspection.
Yes. We serve homes throughout the city, including those near Tempe Town Lake, a more than 2-mile lake stretching from west of McClintock Road to east of Priest Road. Homes near Papago Preserve (about 227 acres) or Tempe (Hayden) Butte Preserve (about 27 acres) get the same full inspection. Call (602) 944-0099 to ask about same-day service.
The inspector watches for mud tubes, damaged or hollow wood, discarded wings, moisture problems, and places where wood touches soil, both outside and in accessible interior areas. Any sign of current or past activity goes into a written report that explains what was found and what, if anything, to do next.
Call when you are buying, selling, or refinancing, when a lender or contract asks for a WDIIR, or when you notice mud tubes, soft wood around frames, or sticking doors and windows. It also makes sense if it has been more than a year since your last inspection. Same-day service is available Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, at (602) 944-0099.
