Termite Control Say Goodbye to Termites

Termites rank high on the list of the most destructive pests in Phoenix because they are often hide in silence until they’ve caused significant structural damage to your home, commercial, or industrial building.

Termites are extremely hardy inspects that require three basic things to survive and thrive: food, moisture, and shelter. Unfortunately, homes and commercial building provide all of these things in ready supply.

The reason that termites are so destructive is because they are detrivores, which means that they feed on dead plants such as trees, and as we all know, dead trees (wood) is what makes up most of the structure of today’s modern buildings.

A termite colony can set up shop in one of two kinds of environments. Subterranean termites make their home in the soil, where they’ll work tirelessly to build an underground network of tunnels with access to key above-ground food sources.

Drywall termites literally eat themselves out of house and home. They live and thrive in the wood they consume, which often takes the form of walls and furniture.
