Phoenix Termite Control: Inspection, Treatment & Legal Requirements

Termites threaten your largest investment—your home. Arizona law mandates specific inspection and treatment protocols.

Comprehensive Inspection (45–60+ mins)

• Interior & exterior, attic to crawl space.
• Tools: flashlight, putty knife (detects wood damage).
• Exterior: wood piles, foundation, utility penetrations, mud shelter tubes.
• Slab cracks = hidden entry points.

Written Report & Proposal (Legal Requirement)

• Full findings: activity locations, damage extent, moisture issues.
• Must use AZ Dept of Agriculture-approved form.
• Includes pricing, payment plans, treatment options.
• Verbal quotes by phone are illegal.

Treatment Methods

• Trench & rod along foundation soil line.
• Slab drilling every 12″ (newer tech may change this).
• Advanced options: dry foam injection into shelter tubes, super-concentrated formulas, monitor/bait stations.

Choosing a Company

Avoid low-price/spot-treatment operators. Quality termite control requires thoroughness, not volume. Verify licensing, warranties, and references. Your home deserves lasting protection—not a guessing game.
