Termites in Arizona cause more damages than termites found in States on the Southern part of the United states, they attack shrubs, buildings and fences as well as all structures made from Timber wood. Arid land subterranean termites are particularly found in Arizona because of their abilities to survive in places at sea level, and at altitudes of around 7,000 feet or more, some of them are found in lowlands as well as desert regions.
Termites in Arizona are Arid land subterranean termites which swarm at different times of the year, the colonies swarm especially in Arizona between January and March and are found to live in colonies under 4,000 feet. During swarming, the wings of termites in Arizona are found to 1/3 inches long, the wings are off-white in colour with brown veins in the front area while the insects themselves are usually brown or black in colour.
Some termite swarms do migrate in July especially during the night when temperatures low and humidity is high, they cover all parts of Arizona. It is around the same month that all mating processes are performed and wingless termites are produced in several colonies all across the state. Arizona authorities have put the value of damages caused by subterranean termites in the last decades at more than $5 billion, despite all efforts being out together to put an end to termite perennial crisis.
Termites have continued to be the major perennial pests in Arizona, though there are several pest control services in Arizona, they are however licensed by the Structural Pest Control Commission to treat and effectively eliminate all forms of termite attacks in Arizona.
