Identifying Subterranean and Drywood Termites 

Arizona properties can be affected by both subterranean termites and drywood termites, each requiring a different treatment strategy. Properly identifying the termite species involved is one of the most important steps in determining how the infestation should be addressed and what long-term prevention measures may be appropriate.

Subterranean termites typically live underground and travel through mud tubes to access wood structures above the soil line. Because of their colony structure and hidden movement patterns, treatment often focuses on soil barriers, targeted applications, and monitoring around the foundation of the property. 

Drywood termites, on the other hand, live directly inside the wood they infest and may need more localized treatment methods aimed at isolated activity areas within your walls, attics, or framing materials.

We use Integrated Pest Management principles to guide our inspection and treatment process. Rather than relying on generalized termite applications, we focus on identifying activity patterns, entry conditions, and environmental factors that contribute to infestation risk. We also use treatment products designed to be safe for children and pets, while still providing performance in targeted treatment areas.

The Expansion Joint and Stem Wall

In the East Valley, our desert subterranean termites often enter through the small expansion joints and plumbing penetrations common in Arizona slab-on-grade construction. We understand that the "stem wall" foundations found in many Mesa neighborhoods, like Tangerine Terrace, provide a specific highway for mud tubes to climb undetected behind stucco or siding. 

Our technicians are trained to identify these specific entry points unique to Southwestern architecture, applying liquid barriers that bond with our local soil types to maintain a persistent defense even in the extreme heat of a Mesa summer.
