Arizona Termite Management: Inspection, Treatment & Choosing the Right Company

Termites destroy structural integrity by hollowing wood—leaving galleries, not sawdust. In Arizona, moisture drives infestation. 22-year veteran inspector shares how to protect your property.

Annual Inspection Essentials

Moisture is the enemy: leaking faucets, pipes, roofs, improper grading. A quality inspection reports all moisture conditions and termite evidence.

Choosing a Pest Management Company

Never decide on price alone. Look for:

• Thorough inspection with detailed diagram
• Clear treatment diagram and written agreement
• All terms, pricing, treatment details spelled out
• Clarity on who moves what, where drilling occurs
• Full vs. spot vs. perimeter treatment—know what you're getting
• Warranty: 1–2 years with annual renewal is standard; 10-year offers often hide limitations

Critical Warnings

• Homeowners insurance does NOT cover termites
• Retreatment warranties only—company returns if termites return
• Research, get multiple estimates, check references
