Arizona Termite Control

Protect Your Home from Termites

Subterranean termites cause billions in damage every year — and Arizona homes are among the most at risk. Elite Pest delivers fast, effective termite treatment and prevention across the Phoenix metro. Licensed, insured, and locally owned.

Why Termite Control Matters in Arizona

Arizona's warm climate and dry soil create ideal conditions for subterranean termites year-round. These pests travel underground and enter homes through the foundation, often going undetected for months or years while silently destroying structural wood. Early detection and treatment are the most effective ways to protect your investment.

Signs You May Have Termites

Mud tubes along your foundation, walls, or crawl space

Hollow-sounding or visibly damaged wood

Discarded wings near windows, doors, or light fixtures

Small piles of frass (termite droppings) near wood surfaces

Bubbling or uneven paint on walls or ceilings

Swarmers (winged termites) inside or around your home

Our Termite Treatment Services

Liquid Termiticide Treatment

We apply a continuous liquid barrier around your home's foundation to eliminate existing colonies and prevent new ones from entering. Effective against subterranean termites.

Termite Bait Stations

In-ground bait stations are placed around the perimeter of your property. Termites carry the bait back to the colony, eliminating it at the source over time.

Termite Inspection

A thorough inspection of your home's interior, exterior, foundation, and crawl spaces to identify active infestations, damage, and conditions conducive to termites.

Pre-Construction Treatment

Soil treatment applied before or during construction to create a protective barrier that prevents subterranean termites from entering new structures.

Termite Species in Arizona

Arizona has multiple subterranean termite species. Elite Pest specializes in subterranean termite treatment — the most destructive and most common type found in Phoenix-area homes.

Subterranean TermitesEXTREME

Heterotermes aureus (Desert Subterranean)

Swarms:Night swarms during monsoon season (July–September)
Signs:Mud tubes along foundation, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings
Habitat:Underground colonies, travel via mud tubes to reach wood above ground
Damage:Responsible for 95%+ of termite structural damage in Arizona. Can destroy a home silently over years.
Key fact: A single colony can contain over 1 million workers and consume a pound of wood per day.
Arid-Land Subterranean TermitesHIGH

Reticulitermes tibialis

Swarms:Spring swarms (March–May), often triggered by warm days after rain
Signs:Mud tubes, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windows and doors
Habitat:Underground colonies in drier soils. Common in desert landscaping and older construction.
Damage:Second most common subterranean species in Arizona. Attacks structural wood, fence posts, and wood debris.
Key fact: Arid-land subterranean termites are smaller than desert subterranean termites but equally destructive to structural wood.
Dampwood TermitesMODERATE

Paraneotermes simplicicornis

Swarms:Less common swarmers; activity tied to moisture events
Signs:Damage at or near ground level, moist wood, no mud tubes
Habitat:Moist wood at or below ground level. Attack citrus trees, desert shrubs, and wood with moisture damage.
Damage:Less widespread as a residential concern, but their presence signals a moisture problem that needs fixing.
Key fact: Dampwood termite nymphs grow up to 3/4 inch long — swarmers can reach 1 inch. Their presence means you have a moisture issue.

7 Warning Signs You Have Termites

Termites cause an average of $3,000–$8,000 in damage before homeowners notice. Know what to look for.

1

Mud tubes

Pencil-width tunnels along your foundation, walls, or pipes — the #1 sign of subterranean termites.

2

Hollow wood

Tap wood with a screwdriver. A hollow sound means termites have eaten the interior. The screwdriver may break through if damage is severe.

3

Frass piles

Small piles of dry, pellet-like droppings near wood surfaces — a sign of termite activity in the wood.

4

Discarded wings

Piles of small wings near windows, doors, or light sources after a swarm. Termites shed wings after mating.

5

Swarmers

Flying termites (alates) emerging from walls, floors, or soil — especially during monsoon season at night.

6

Bubbling paint

Paint that bubbles or peels without moisture exposure can indicate termites feeding behind the wall.

7

Tight doors/windows

Termite damage warps wood, causing doors and windows to stick or not close properly.
