Comprehensive Termite Control for Phoenix, Arizona Homes
If you’ve lived in Arizona for any length of time, you’ve probably heard the saying:“There are two types of houses in the Phoenix Valley—those that have had termites, and those that will.”
Are you seeing any of these signs?● Narrow, brown, muddy tubes hanging from your bathroom ceiling — Termite mud tubes● Crumbling wood or damaged baseboards — Classic termite damage● Nothing out of the ordinary — That doesn’t mean you’re safe.
The challenge with subterranean termites in Phoenix is that they excel at staying hidden. These destructive pests feed on wood from the inside out, so by the time you spot damage, the problem is often serious. They build mud tubes to stay protected as they travel between their underground nests and your home’s structure.
The good news is that A & E Pest and Weed is ready to act fast. Our team specializes in detailed termite inspections, effective treatments, and long-term prevention plans to protect your home. As a family-owned business, we bring decades of expertise and a personal touch to every service.

How to Effectively Treat for Subterranean Termites
The most effective way to eliminate underground termites is — you guessed it — by treating the ground itself. Our proven termite control process includes:
1. Thorough Inspection:
Our technicians carefully inspect your home inside and out, looking for termite activity around your foundation, exterior perimeter, and high-risk areas.
2. Custom Treatment Plan:
Every home is different, so we develop a custom treatment plan based on what we find. Most treatments involve trenching around your home’s foundation and applying a liquid chemical barrier. When necessary, we also drill through patios, garages, or slabs to reach hidden colonies.
3. Treatment Application:
Our trenching and chemical application creates a protective barrier that eliminates active termites and prevents future infestations.
4. Ongoing Prevention:
We offer preventative soil treatments and regular inspections designed to keep termites away for years to come.
