Scottsdale's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Stucco-and-block construction is the regional standard here, built directly on concrete slabs with block-wall property lines instead of wood fencing. Combined with the local climate — a desert climate where summer heat is the dominant fact of life, and where mild winters mean pest pressure never really resets to zero — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
