Termite Inspection

At the first sign of termite tubes and termite droppings, call Insectek and let us be your Termite Inspector to check for any termite damage to your home, business or property. We find evidence of a termite infestation and use organic termite treatments to effectively kill termites.

Signs of Termite Damage

Phoenix, Arizona is home to desert termites that are subterranean termites – meaning they like to live underground. Termites love the valley floor of the Salt River Valley in Phoenix, AZ. The soft rich dirt is a perfect home for termites, and new home construction gives them an endless supply of food (your house or building). If you have a termite infestation, you will see signs of wood and other materials eaten-away in a tunnel-like pattern.

Bulging Ceilings, Floors, and Walls

Bulging ceilings, floors and walls are a tell-tale sign of termite infestation in Arizona. After Arizona rains, you will likely see swelling in walls and areas where the termites have eaten away air pockets. Unexplained leaks in ceilings walls and floors can also lead back to termite damage.

Termite Tubes

Mud Tunnels built by termites act as little roads that the pests use to get into and out of your home or office from the outside. Termite tubes are a good sign of a termite infestation that requires calling a local pest control company. If you see these little tubes on the outside of your home or business – that means the termites have already found their way into the building.

Termite Swarmers

Termite swarmers are flying termites that look like long flies, amber in color (like a cockroach). It is most likely that you will see swarmers flying around or dead near windowsills before you will see any termites actively eating away inside your walls or floors.

Arizona Termite Information & Resources

Common Types of Termites Found in AZ

Desert Subterranean Termites

Typically found in the southern region of Arizona, Desert Subterranean Termites live in desert plants like cacti and timber (springwood). Their damage resembles that of a honeycomb.

They don’t require moisture as most other termites do and love to feed on dry wood.

Arid-land Subterranean Termites

Arid Subterranean Termites are the most common termites in the state and can be found in deserts, canyons, rivers, dunes, and even above 4,000 ft. altitudes.

They love wood and cellulose material such as desert trees and cactus ribs and plenty of home materials, including insulation, paper, stucco, etc.

Western Drywood Termite

You guessed it; they love dry wood. The Western Drywood Termite is known for dense infestations, exhibiting colonies as large as 2,000 termites strong.

You can avoid putting chemical pesticides in your soil by utilizing termite extermination bait technologies. They are placed in the ground and attract termites to feed on the bait, killing them off.

• 1mm pellets – often look like piles of salt or pepper.
• Black, brown, and grey in color, depending on the wood eaten by termites.
