Getting Rid of Termites in Avondale

Termites are one of the most destructive pest problems in the Phoenix metro area. As part of our comprehensive pest control services, we specialize in identifying and eliminating the most common species in Arizona—Heterotermes, a highly aggressive subterranean termite responsible for extensive structural damage.

Our licensed & insured, family-owned and operated team uses modern techniques and proven termite treatments to protect your home or business and restore a pest-free environment.

Types of Termites

Heterotermes termites form complex subterranean colonies consisting of a primary king and queen, along with supplemental reproductive termites. These interconnected active colonies can spread underground for over 150 feet, creating a hidden network that feeds on multiple sources.

Because they forage widely, termites are a neighborhood-wide issue—not just isolated to one property. They target:

Homes and buildings
Dead tree roots
Woodpiles and landscaping materials

These termites transport food back to their colonies, feeding larvae and sustaining colony growth. Without proper termite control, their expansion can lead to severe and expensive infestations.

How to Know Termites are Present

Termites live a hidden (cryptobiotic) lifestyle, making early detection difficult. By the time visible signs appear, significant damage may already exist.

Common signs of infestation include:

Mud tunnels along foundations or walls
Discarded wings near windows and doors
Hollow or damaged wood
Sawdust-like frass (more common with drywood termites)

Termites often enter through small entry points such as:

Cracks in foundations
Gaps around plumbing or electrical conduits
Expansion joints and slab penetrations

If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s critical to schedule a professional termite inspection immediately. Visible activity is often “presumptive of an underlying infestation,” meaning hidden colonies are actively causing damage.

Termite Removal

Effective termite elimination requires a professional pest control service. Our process begins with a detailed inspection to assess:

Type of termite species
Extent of infestation
Construction type and vulnerabilities

From there, we design targeted treatments to eliminate termites and prevent reinfestation.

One of the most effective solutions for subterranean colonies is chemical barrier treatments using industry-leading products like Termidor SC®. This creates a termite-resistant barrier around your home, delivering long-lasting termite control through the Termidor Transfer Effect®, which spreads throughout the colony.

How to Remove Termites

Our customized termite treatments may include a combination of the following methods:

Chemical Barrier Treatments

We trench and treat soil around your foundation, applying termiticides at precise rates (typically 4 gallons per 10 linear feet). This creates a continuous barrier that termites cannot bypass.

Drilling & Injection

For concrete areas such as patios, garages, or slabs, we drill and inject treatment beneath the surface to reach hidden entry points and active termite zones. All drill sites are sealed after application.

Interior Targeted Treatments

When termites are active inside, we treat:

Interior slab cracks
Wall voids
Plumbing penetrations

Products like Termidor Dry® allow for precise application directly into infested wood for effective targeted treatments.

Specialized Construction Considerations

Homes with post-tension slabs require alternative treatment methods, as drilling is not possible. Our trained professionals understand these structural differences and apply safe, effective solutions.

Additional Treatment Options

Depending on the infestation, we may recommend:

Habitat modification to reduce moisture and wood-to-soil contact
Baiting systems, such as a Termite Baiting System, for colony-wide elimination
Wood treatments or Borate treatments for exposed wood protection
