Termites in Phoenix are active all year round

Termites are a pervasive problem in Phoenix and its surrounding areas throughout the year. The subterranean termites in particular remain active all year-round due to the mild winters in the region. However, they are more noticeable during the spring, summer, and fall months when temperature and humidity levels rise. The availability of moisture during the monsoon season makes it even easier for these insects to thrive.

Signs of termites

The best way to prevent termite damage is to identify an infestation as early as possible. If you're worried about activity, watch for these signs of termites:

  • Termite swarmers (the winged reproductive members of a termite colony).
  • Discarded wings left behind after a termite swarm. You find these on your property or inside your home.
  • Termite mud tubes are pencil-sized tubes or tunnels that can be found along foundations, walls, and other parts of homes and businesses.
  • Termite damage, such as sagging floors, buckling ceilings, wood that sounds hollow when tapped on, and tight-fitting doors and windows.
