Why Arizona Homes Are at Risk for Termite Damage

Termites are part of life in Arizona — but costly termite damage doesn't have to be. Across the Phoenix metro area, Tucson and surrounding locations, subterranean termites remain active for much of the year thanks to our warm desert climate. Because they live underground and work out of sight, many homeowners don't realize they're there until visible damage appears.

The challenge isn't just older homes. Drip lines and sprinklers, landscaping, expansion joints and areas where wood meets soil can create favorable conditions around properties of any age. Termites aren't attracted to old houses — they're attracted to cellulose, moisture and opportunity.

That's why proactive protection matters.
Termites never take a day off and neither do we. Termites never take a day off and neither do we.

Our Termite Protection system requires less labor to install, which means installation costs are roughly half those of traditional termite treatments.

What Is the Sentricon System?

The Sentricon® System eliminates termite colonies at their source. Stations are installed in the soil around your home, where subterranean termites naturally forage. Nothing in the system attracts termites to your property. Instead, termites discover the stations on their own and feed on Always Active™ bait, which laboratory testing shows termites prefer nearly 10 to 1 compared with wood. They then share the bait throughout the colony, where the active ingredient disrupts the molting process termites need to survive, ultimately eliminating the colony.

Unlike traditional liquid treatments that primarily create a barrier around your home, Sentricon targets the colony itself. That matters in Arizona, where subterranean termite colonies can be extensive and difficult to address with a barrier alone. Sentricon works with termites’ natural foraging behavior, and with the stations in place and professionally maintained, provides ongoing termite protection against future colonies.

Because we're local, we see these challenges every day. Our technicians live and work in the same communities we serve, bringing Arizona-specific expertise backed by more than 20 years of protecting homes throughout the desert Southwest.

Termite Pressure in Arizona

Homes across the Valley and Southern Arizona can be divided into two categories: those that have termites and those that will get them. Here’s what you need to know about the termite threat in the Sonoran Desert:

  • Arizona ranks among the top 5 states for termite pressure
  • On average, Arizona has multiple termite colonies per acre
  • Every neighborhood in the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas has termites

    Desert Subterranean Termite

    • Scientific Name: Heterotermes aureus
    • Prevalence: Responsible for 99% of Phoenix termite treatments
    • Habitat: Lives in the soil and builds colonies of up to 300,000 termites.
    • Behavior: Constantly foraging, with workers capable of traveling the length of a football field.
    • Destructive Nature: Known as the most destructive termite species in Arizona,  capable of causing severe structural damage. According to the National Pest Management Association, “Subterranean termites are by far the most destructive species of termite as they eat 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

    Signs of Termites

    Termites can be challenging to detect because much of their activity happens out of sight. Here are the most common signs of termites in the Phoenix metro area.

    Call (480) 635-8492

    Subterranean termites build mud tubes to travel between the soil and wood structures, protecting themselves from dehydration. Look for pencil-thin mud tubes along foundations, walls, or crawl spaces.

    Termites chew through wood, often following the grain. Look for tunnels or grooves inside exposed wood.

    Winged reproductive termites (alates) swarm during certain times of the year to establish new colonies. Finding discarded wings near windows, doors, or other light sources is a sign of a nearby colony.

    Tap on wooden structures; if they sound hollow, termites may have eaten the interior. This could be found in structural beams, floorboards, or furniture.

    Blue Sky is the most reliable, quality pest control with timely, professional staff. We've been with them 11 years. 9 years ago they found termites outside our home we didn't even know about. They took care of them before they could do any damage and we've never had any problem since. Their staff is courteous and highly trained. I have an organic garden, fruit trees, and a dog and cat. They take great care of all at a reasonable price. Thank you Blue Sky!

    John Reynolds

    We've had Blue Sky for several years now for both pest control and termite protection. We're been very happy with the results. No bugs and no termites. Their people are extremely thorough and professional. Would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

    George Foster

    Best experience by far. Great people and very capable when termites are involved. They did so much more than the last company I had come out a couple of years ago. Highly recommend.

    FAQs About Termite Pest Control in Arizona

    Termite swarms most commonly occur during warmer months, often after changes in temperature or moisture conditions. Seeing winged termites around your home can be a sign that a nearby colony is active and should be inspected by a professional.

    Sentricon provides ongoing protection as long as the system is properly monitored and maintained. Regular inspections and service visits help ensure the bait stations remain effective against future termite activity.

    Yes. Termite prevention measures can be incorporated during construction, and ongoing monitoring can help protect the structure after it is built. Early prevention is often more cost-effective than addressing an active infestation later.

    A termite inspection includes a visual evaluation of accessible areas around the home for signs of termite activity, damage and conditions that may increase risk. Your inspector will explain any findings and recommend next steps if treatment is needed.

    In most cases, homeowners' insurance policies do not cover termite damage because it is considered a preventable maintenance issue. Coverage can vary by provider and policy, so homeowners should review their specific insurance documents.

    The cost of treatment depends on factors such as the size of the property, the treatment method and whether active termites are present. A professional inspection is the best way to determine the right solution for your home and provide accurate pricing.
