GUARANTEED Termite Control
Delivering GUARANTEED Termite Control in Phoenix with only the BEST Termite Control Products – Termidor!
Termidor is the most effective termiticide today, and it works like a DISEASE spreading Termite Control throughout the colony. As termites, & scorpions & other pests, contact Termidor, they carry the termiticide around passing it to ALL other termites they contact (And termites are very social!). The termites they contact then become “carriers” and the termiticide spreads to control the entire colony. Termidor is designed to work slowly so Termites can pass it around the ENTIRE Colony before dying themselves.

Subterranean Termites In Phoenix Areas
Subterranean Termites build tunnels (often called mud tubes) to travel through from deep underground to wood containing materials that they eat. Termites have crazy strong jaws that gnaw through wood {they eat cellulose in wood} 24 hours each day – 7 days a week. FUN FACT: Termites don’t sleep!
Termite in Phoenix areas swarm during spring and MONSOON season, when reproductive termites start new colonies!
Desert Subterranean Termites live in HUGE colonies {with up to 2 MILLION members} deep in the soil. Termites in Phoenix Valley areas are MOST active during and after MONSOON season because of the moisture! In Phoenix Termites will tunnel 100’s of feet to find food sources, and they only need a 1/32″ {1mm} crack to gain access through concrete foundations into homes. Sometimes you can see termite tubes on foundation concrete walls, HANGING from ceilings, on walls, or “swarming” around your property. If you’ve seen any of these signs, it’s time for a Termite Control Treatment!

Conditions Contributing to Phoenix Termite Infestations
Moisture above ground or in the soil.- Direct wood to soil contact with any part of your home! Any wood contacting soil poses high risk for termite entry. Damaged wood sounds dull when tapped a screwdrivers or hammers. Please don’t go around banging holes in the walls… Call Responsible Pest Control. We discover Termite problems without causing damage!
- Faulty grade directing water toward the foundation.
- No ACTIVE Termite BARRIER, or termite pre-treat before construction.
- Foundation Cracks.
- Trees or Bushes touching your home.
Phoenix Termite Control Treatments
Quality termite treatments require time, we are often out a week before we can get new termite treatments on the schedule. To control Termites in the Phoenix area, we must treat underground & around your foundation. Above ground treatments have no effect on Termites inside their protective mud tubes & underground colonies. Every home and termite infestation is a little unique, so we provide you with a CUSTOMIZED Termite Treatment to meet your needs, including:
- Preventive Control
- Full House Corrective Control
- Renewable Termite Control WARRANTIES
Subterranean Termite Treatments include trenching around the structure, drilling through concrete when needed, and interior wall treatments when required. Our Termite pro’s will drill through EXPANSION JOINTS, as much as possible, to save homeowners from the look of drilled concrete. Prices for Termite Control Treatments are calculated on linear footage, & concrete drilling requirements.
PREVENTIVE Termite Protection
The BEST form of Termite control is PREVENTION!
Most homes in the Phoenix AZ area started with a pre-treatment for Termites before the concrete foundation was poured. Those Termite pre-treats can last up to five years. Because Termites are so prevalent in our valley, we recommend a PREVENTIVE Termite Control treatment every 3-5 years thereafter.
The best way to avoid termite infestations and damage is PREVENTION: Get a Termite Treatment every three to five years. Have a termite inspection every three months. Keep water from accumulating next to the foundation, it attracts termites. Redirect water AWAY from the home with downspouts, and gutters. Keep ANY wood products, like firewood piles or lumber, that contacts the ground at least 20 feet away from your house.

Signs of Termites in Phoenix
- 1. Mud Tubes (as pictured below)
Termite mud tubes are often on concrete foundation walls, but also poke through drywall and hang from ceilings. - 2. Flying Termite Swarmers (usually after a heavy rain)
Termite swarmers are looking to start a new termite colony by finding a new home and mating! They usually are seen after monsoon storms or heavy rain.
Subterranean Termite Tube
Termite Season in Arizona warms up during the spring but gets really busy after Monsoon season!
Termites Swarm during the spring and monsoon season, especially after RAIN! For best Termite Control in Phoenix AZ Valley fix these contributing conditions:
- Seal cracks in your foundation. Termites only need 1/32 of an inch to access your home.
- Moisture – Termites seek moisture. Fix all leaky pipes and watering systems. Divert all moisture AWAY from your home. Make sure your not over watering. Soil around your home should be well drained, and allowed to dry. Constantly moist soil is a “Welcome” sign to Termites and other pests!
- Scrap wood (Termite Bait) around your home and yard. Keep firewood at least 20 feet away from your home.
- Direct wood to ground contact. (Including fences or other structures that contact the soil and the home.) Dig back all soil that contacts the stucco or wood parts of your home.

How Do You Get Termites
There are several contributing conditions that promote Termite Infestations including:
✔ Moisture in the soil around the foundation or in the home itself. {Leaky pipes and plumbing problems cause moisture problems ATTRACTING termites.}
✔ Direct wood to soil contact. NO part of your home {or structure touching your home like wood fences and trellises} should have direct contact with the soil and your house.
✔ Faulty grade draining water toward the foundation, instead of away from the home.
✔ Trees & bushes too close or touching the home or office. Vines, Shrubs, and other vegetation should NOT grow on or against your house or siding because it traps moisture, attracts termites, inhibits termite inspections, and contributes to wood decay.
✔ No ACTIVE Termite BARRIER. This can be the absence of a termite pre-treat before construction, of just an older home that needs a new Termite Control Application. This does not show on report.}
✔ Cracks in the foundation. {These do not show on a termite report, but can provide ample access for termites into a structure.}
✔ Wood Debris and MULCH – Mulch is great to plants to keep them MOIST, BUT it can cause problems with TERMITES! Termites LOVE MOIST WOOD or cellulose containing materials in mulch, and often forage these areas. If you use mulch keep it down to 2-3 inches thick and DO NOT put it next to your foundation. Mulch should NOT have contact with stucco siding, the foundation, siding, windows or doors. ANY wood debris in the soil can attract termites as a food source. Concrete form boards, tree and bush stumps, scrap wood, fire wood, landscape timbers even cardboard boxes and newspaper attract foraging termites.
