Signs You Need Termite Treatment

  • Mud tubes on foundation or walls - Pencil-sized tunnels termites use to travel
  • Hollow-sounding wood - Tapping on wood produces a hollow sound
  • Discarded wings near windows or doors - Left behind after termite swarms
  • Visible wood damage - Blistered or darkened wood structures
  • Sagging floors or ceilings - Indicates severe termite damage
  • Buckling wood or swollen floors - Moisture from termite activity
  • Termite droppings (frass) - Small piles of wood-colored pellets
  • Positive inspection report - Professional inspection confirmed activity

Arizona Termite Treatment Methods

Liquid Barrier Treatments

The most common and effective method for Arizona homes. A liquid termiticide is applied around and beneath your home's foundation, creating a protective barrier that kills termites on contact and prevents new colonies from entering.

  • Creates a continuous protective zone around your home
  • Effective for 5-10 years depending on product used
  • Works specifically for subterranean termites
  • Treats existing infestations and prevents future ones

Termite Baiting Systems

Strategically placed bait stations around your property's perimeter contain slow-acting termiticides. Termites consume the bait and share it with the colony, eventually eliminating the entire population.

  • Minimal soil disturbance
  • Targets entire termite colonies
  • Ongoing monitoring capability
  • Good option for environmentally sensitive areas

Combination Approaches

For severe infestations or challenging situations, professionals may recommend combining liquid barriers with baiting systems for maximum protection.

Our Treatment Process

1

Inspection & Assessment

Thorough property inspection to identify termite activity, entry points, and determine the best treatment approach for your situation.

2

Treatment Application

Professional application of liquid barriers, bait stations, or combination treatment. Most treatments completed in 4-8 hours depending on home size.

3

Monitoring & Warranty

Follow-up inspections to ensure treatment success. Most companies provide multi-year warranties with annual inspections included.

Treatment Timeline and Pricing

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Initial liquid barrier treatments typically take 4-8 hours for average homes. Baiting system installation is faster (2-3 hours) but requires ongoing monitoring. You can usually return home the same day, often within hours of completion.

Treatment Costs

Termite treatment is an investment in your home's structural integrity. Costs vary based on:

  • Home size and foundation type
  • Severity and location of infestation
  • Treatment method selected
  • Soil conditions and accessibility
  • Warranty coverage length

Most companies provide free estimates after inspection. Many offer financing options for larger treatments.

Preparation Steps

  • Remove stored items from garage perimeter and foundation areas
  • Trim vegetation away from foundation (12-18 inches)
  • Ensure clear access to all foundation areas
  • Remove pets and their belongings during treatment
  • Plan to be away for 2-4 hours during application
  • Water foundation area 24 hours before treatment (helps product spread)

Why Arizona-Specific Expertise Matters

  • Alkaline soil knowledge - Arizona's soil pH affects how termiticides perform and spread
  • Desert termite behavior - Understanding moisture-seeking patterns in dry climates
  • Monsoon considerations - Timing treatments around summer rains for maximum effectiveness
  • Local construction methods - Knowing how to treat post-tension slabs common in Arizona
  • Extreme heat impacts - Understanding how temperature affects product performance

Frequently Asked Questions

Termite activity typically stops within days to weeks. Complete colony elimination can take 1-3 months. Your technician will schedule follow-up inspections to verify treatment success.

Modern termiticides are designed to be safe when applied by licensed professionals. Most products have low toxicity to humans and pets. You can typically return home the same day once treatment areas are dry.

Liquid barrier treatments typically provide 5-10 years of protection. Most warranties cover 1-5 years with annual inspections. Baiting systems require ongoing monitoring but provide indefinite protection when maintained.

Warranties typically include annual inspections, free re-treatment if termites return, and repair coverage for new damage (coverage amounts vary). Read warranty terms carefully and keep all documentation.

Professional technicians minimize landscape disruption. Some trenching near the foundation is necessary for liquid treatments, but most plants can be preserved. Discuss concerns with your technician beforehand.
