Termite Control in Tempe, AZ
Subterranean termites are one of the most destructive pests in the Phoenix Valley, and most homeowners don't know they have an active colony until visible damage or mud tubes appear. By that point, the colony has often been working inside the structure for months. Fromms Pest Control provides termite services built around early detection, targeted treatment, and ongoing protection so your home is covered before damage adds up.
Here is what Fromms Pest Control covers with termite control in Tempe:
- Subterranean termite inspections
- WDI (Wood Destroying Insect) inspections for real estate transactions
- Bait station installation and monitoring
- Targeted liquid or foam treatment for active infestation points
- Annual comprehensive termite inspections
- Ongoing monthly monitoring and renewal program
Termite damage is not covered by standard homeowners' insurance, so consistent monitoring is the only reliable way to protect your property. Fromms Pest Control keeps the same technician on your account, checks every bait station on schedule, and addresses any new activity under your program so nothing gets missed between visits.

About Our Tempe Termite Treatment Process
Subterranean termites in Tempe don't announce themselves. They move through the soil, travel inside mud tubes, and consume wood framing from the inside out, often for months before any visible sign appears. Termite done right means targeting the colony, not just treating the surface where damage shows up.
Here is how the process works:
- A certified technician inspects accessible interior and exterior areas of your structure, including foundation walls, door frames, exposed framing, and the perimeter soil, to identify evidence of current or past activity.
- Bait stations are installed in the ground around the perimeter at regular intervals, where foraging termites encounter the active ingredient and carry it back to the colony for elimination over time.
- When active termites are found at a specific point in the structure, a liquid termiticide or foam application is made directly to that location as a targeted supplement to the bait system.
- After installation, the program moves to monthly billing and includes scheduled station checks, documented activity tracking, and an annual comprehensive inspection.
- If new activity is found between visits, treatment is addressed under the program at no additional charge.

Your Tempe Home, Protected By Our Warranty
When you sign up with Fromms Pest Control, the monthly renewal program keeps your bait stations maintained and includes an annual termite inspection at no extra charge. If activity shows up during a scheduled visit, it gets addressed under the program, so you're not hit with a surprise service bill on top of your regular cost.
Most competitors either charge per visit or sell you a one-time treatment with no follow-through. Continuous active monitoring means your property has a documented termite status on record, which comes in handy when it's time to sell. That kind of ongoing coverage is hard to find at this price point.
Signs of A Termite Infestation in Your Tempe Home
Subterranean termites consume wood from the inside out, which means the damage is well underway before most homeowners notice anything at all. By the time something looks wrong, a colony has often been active in the structure for a significant period of time.
Common signs of subterranean termite activity that Arizona homeowners should watch for include:
- Mud tubes along foundation walls, stem walls, or exterior block fencing
- Hollow-sounding wood in door frames, baseboards, or floor supports
- Doors or windows that suddenly stick or shift without an obvious cause
- Winged swarmers appearing indoors or around exterior lighting, particularly in spring or following monsoon rains
- Discarded wings near windowsills, entry points, or along baseboards
- Bubbling or uneven paint on wood surfaces that mimics water damage
- Frass or small debris deposits near wooden structural elements
The challenge with subterranean termites is that standard homeowners insurance does not cover the damage they cause. That responsibility falls entirely on the homeowner, which makes early detection critical. Knowing what to look for is the first step toward getting ahead of a problem that only grows with time.
