Termite protection for Tempe, where dry lumber near the historic downtown core can host drywood colonies while irrigated ground near ASU and the Salt River favors subterranean termites.
Call (844) 924-1337Some of Tempe's oldest structures stand near the base of Hayden Butte, close to where Charles Hayden built his original flour mill and general store in the 1870s, and that older lumber can support drywood termites without any soil contact at all. Drywood colonies don't need the moisture subterranean termites require, so a shed, fence, or aging structure near the historic townsite can host an infestation even during a dry summer.
Move toward the Salt River corridor or the irrigated turf and landscaping around ASU's campus, and subterranean termites become the more likely culprit instead, building mud tubes wherever soil stays consistently damp. Because Tempe has meaningful pockets of both conditions within a few miles of each other, a proper inspection has to rule out both termite types rather than assume one.

Termites pose a real structural risk if left untreated, and reaching the full extent of a colony, which is often partly underground or inside walls, is difficult without professional equipment and experience. Professional assessment is important for understanding the extent of termite activity and choosing treatment rather than relying on a surface-only DIY approach.
Termite control pricing depends on your location, the treatment method, the property, and the extent of the infestation. Call PestGuardians to discuss the work needed in Tempe and request pricing for your situation.
Termite control typically involves a soil barrier, bait system, or direct wood treatment, depending on the species and how established the colony is. A termite inspection can help confirm the activity and property conditions before the treatment approach is selected.
Termites can be present in the soil regardless of how new a structure is, so many new homes get pre-treatment or protective measures during construction. Ask PestGuardians about inspection and protection considerations for a newer home in your area.
