Wood Around the Home Draws Termites
Subterranean termites are found throughout the Phoenix area. They feed on wood and other cellulose, and they reach it by tunneling through soil and building mud tubes. Wood fences, sheds, raised garden beds, firewood stacks, and old tree stumps can all attract them.
Once termites are active near a home, it is a short trip to door frames, baseboards, and wood trim. Damage often goes unnoticed until it is significant.
Older homes may also have wood framing or trim that sits close to the ground, or slab cracks that have widened over the years. Both make it easier for termites to reach the structure without being seen.
Park Tract Pest Control and Termite Inspections
Our termite inspections look for mud tubes, damaged wood, discarded wings, and conditions that invite termites, such as wood touching soil or moisture near the foundation. If we find activity, we will explain your options clearly.
Regular bi-monthly service then keeps ants, roaches, spiders, and scorpions in check around the rest of the property.

Easy Ways to Lower Your Risk
Keep firewood stacked off the ground and away from the house. Remove old stumps or scrap lumber. Fix leaky hose bibs and irrigation near the foundation. These steps help make your yard less attractive to termites and plenty of other pests.
Park Tract pest control from Green Magic is handled by technicians paid by the day, not per stop, so they have time to check sheds, fence lines, and garages carefully. Re-treatments between visits are free.

Can termites damage a wood fence?
Yes. Wood fences, sheds, and other structures in contact with soil can attract termites, which may then move toward the house. Keeping wood off the ground and away from irrigation helps reduce the risk.
Should I get a termite inspection if I have never had one?
If your home is older or you have never had an inspection, it is a smart idea. We will let you know what we find. An inspection gives you a clear picture before small problems become expensive ones.
Are your products safe?
Yes. Everything we apply is eco-friendly, and once it dries it is safe for children and pets. Your technician can show you exactly where product was applied.
