Termites We Treat in Peoria
Part of our full termite control services across the Phoenix metro.
- Most common in AZ:
- Yes — the dominant termite species across the Phoenix metro
- Diet:

- Needs:
- Consistent soil moisture — irrigation, canals, and leaks all attract them
- Swarm season:
- Most active after monsoon storms (Jul–Sep) and again in spring
Subterranean Termites
Subterranean termites travel from the soil into a structure through mud shelter tubes, and they're the termite species we see by far the most in Peoria. They need constant contact with moisture, which is exactly what irrigation, canals, and mature landscaping provide.
- Common in AZ:
- Less common than subterranean, but present in the Valley
- Diet:
- Dry, sound wood — framing, furniture, and trim, no soil contact needed
- Signs:
- Small pellet-like frass piles and clean, round exit holes
- Treatment:
- Localized spot treatment or structural fumigation for heavy infestations
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites don't need soil contact at all — they live directly inside dry wood, including framing, furniture, and trim. They're less common here than subterranean termites, but we still find and treat them in Peoria homes. Read more about drywood termites.
Why Peoria sees real termite pressure
Golf-course communities hold onto moisture year-round
Vistancia, Trilogy at Vistancia, and Arrowhead Ranch are all built around lakes, canals, and golf courses, which keep the soil consistently moist — exactly what subterranean termites need to build shelter tubes from the ground into a structure.
Older neighborhoods near Old Town Peoria carry decades of mature tree growth and established irrigation, which tends to show the same pattern even without a golf course or lake nearby.
Signs of Termites to Watch For
Pencil-width mud shelter tubes running up a foundation, slab edge, or fence post.
Discarded, translucent wings near windowsills or doors after a swarm.
Wood that sounds hollow or papery when tapped.
Paint that looks bubbled or wood that appears slightly warped.

Our Termite Treatment Approach
Free inspection — we identify the species, the entry points, and the extent of activity before recommending anything.
A treatment plan matched to what we find: liquid soil barrier, bait stations, or post-construction/pretreatment for new builds.
Owner-operated, with the owner present on every termite job — not just a technician following a script.
A written report you can use for real estate transactions, plus follow-up monitoring so it stays solved.
