Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Arizona City's conditions — one of the hottest urban climates in North America, with triple-digit heat for months at a stretch and winters mild enough that pests rarely fully die back — create exactly that. Predominantly slab-on-grade stucco homes from the 1970s-2010s desert suburban boom, with block-wall backyards and no basements. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Termite treatment starts with identifying exactly where the colony is accessing the structure, since a targeted approach is far more effective than a blanket treatment. Depending on the property, we recommend either a liquid soil treatment creating a barrier around the foundation, or a bait-station monitoring system that's checked on a schedule.
