Termite Control Facts

Most Termites in the Greater Phoenix Arizona Valley Dessert are Subterranean Termites that live in HUGE Colonies underground and come up through “mud tubes” to FEED. These Termites used their scissor like jaws to CHEW of WOOD products 24 hours a day – 7 days a week, and NEVER sleep!

 

 

  • Termites work 24 hours per day and never sleep.
  • Termites SWARM in the Phoenix AZ Valley in late summer, during and after MONSOON season!
  • It is estimated that for every human on Earth there may be 1,000 pounds of termites. That’s about the same weight as a full-grown cow!
  • Termites use their scissor like jaws to chew on wood {or products containing cellulose} 24 hours a day, seven days a week!
  • Some Termites build freestanding mud tubes in order to get to wood. One tube was 12 feet long from floor to ceiling.
  • Homes with a typical Termite infestation may have three to four termite colonies around it.
  • Each Termite colony has as many as one million termites.
  • Termites tend to stay away from light.
  • Subterranean termites are found in every state except Alaska.
  • Termites search for food up to 250 feet from their colony.
  • Termite queens live 15-25 years, and can lay an egg every 15 seconds.
  • Termites access homes in Arizona through tiny cracks in concrete slab foundations, and through GAPS around plumbing!
  • Termites can get into your house through cracks about as thick as a penny (1/32 of an inch!).
  • Termites have been around for OVER 250 million years!
  • Termites live in the ground or in wood.
  • Termites are “social” insects and live in large colonies.
  • Most termites eat “cellulose” from wood and wood products.
  • There are about 50 species are found in the USA!
  • Most Termite Infestations in our area are Subterranean Termites.
  • Prices for Subterranean Termite Control treatments depend on linear footage & drilling requirements.

Prevent Termite Damage At Home

Be proactive against Termites! Most buildings in Arizona got a treatment for Subterranean Termites before construction ever started. Those Termite Pre-treats are supposed to last five years. We recommend a termite control treatment for Subterranean Termites every three to five years thereafter.

Call for your FREE Termite Inspection. (Fee applies for escrow.)

  • Grade soil around your home so water (like air-conditioning condensation) runs away from the foundation.
  • Don’t put wood trellises on exterior walls.
  • Trim bushes and greenery away from the foundation of your home.
  • Move mulch away from the foundation.
  • Repair leaking faucets and water lines inside and outside.
  • Remove infested trees and stumps.
  • Never bury any type of wood, or wood products, in your yard.
  • Keep mulch, wood debris, scrap lumber, sawdust and firewood away from your home. If you do keep firewood outside your house during the winter, keep it raised and off the ground.
  • MOST IMPORTANTLY: MAKE SURE there is NO wood (or home) contact with the SOIL! Wood siding, STUCCO and foam board should be six inches away from the ground.
  • Seal all cracks in your home’s foundation, they can provide a handy access point for termites.
  • Have a professional PREVENTIVE Termite Treatment!
