Services · Termite Control
Termites, caught early and treated to the colony.
Liquid barrier and bait-station treatment for Phoenix Valley homes, using a slow-acting product that clears the whole colony rather than the workers you can see.
What termite control covers
Termite control targets the colony, not the tubes on your wall. Nice Pest Company treats with a liquid barrier in the soil around the structure, bait stations where they are the better tool, or both, and the product is deliberately slow-acting: workers carry it back before it takes effect, which is what reaches the colony instead of only the foragers. Expect up to 90 days for full colony elimination.
Common termites in Arizona
01
Subterranean termites
The ones that come up through the soil and build mud tubes on foundations and walls. They are what a soil barrier and bait stations are for, and they are the common case in Valley homes.
02
Drywood termites
These live in the wood itself rather than in the ground, so they turn up in framing, trim, and furniture without a tube leading back to the soil. Finding which one you have changes the treatment.
How our termite treatment works
Termite work is slower than the rest of the plan by design, and the timeline is the part worth understanding.
-
Inspect and identify.
Mud tubes, damaged wood, and where the activity leads tell us whether this is subterranean or drywood, which decides the method.
-
Choose the method.
A liquid barrier in the soil around the structure, bait stations, or both, matched to the species and the construction.
-
Let the product travel.
It is slow-acting on purpose: workers carry it back into the colony before it takes effect, which is what treats the nest rather than the foragers.
-
Give it up to 90 days.
Full colony elimination takes up to 90 days. Activity dropping is not the finish line, and stopping early is what lets a colony recover.
Why termites are not a DIY job
Killing the termites you can see does nothing to the colony that sent them, and a retail product that works fast is the wrong tool here: it kills the carriers before they get home.
-
The species decides the treatment.
-
A slow-acting product is what reaches the nest.
-
Soil barriers and bait stations need placing, not spraying.
What termite treatment costs
Termite treatment is quoted per home, separate from the recurring pest plan. The price depends on the species, the construction, and how far the activity has spread, so we inspect first and send a no-obligation estimate by text before any work starts.

Good to know
Questions? We've got answers.
Straight answers to what Valley homeowners ask us most. Still not sure about something? We're happy to talk it through.
How long does termite treatment take to work?
Expect up to 90 days for full colony elimination. The product is slow-acting by design, because termites have to carry it back into the colony before it takes effect, so a treatment that killed on contact would never reach the nest. You will usually see activity fall well before the 90 days are up.
What are the signs of termites in a Phoenix home?
The most common sign is mud tubing: thin dirt tunnels running up a foundation, a block wall, or interior drywall. Others are wood that sounds hollow or gives under light pressure, tight-fitting doors and windows, and small piles of discarded wings. If you find tubing, leave it in place so the technician can see where the activity leads.
Do you use liquid treatment or bait stations?
Both, depending on the species and how the home is built. A liquid barrier goes into the soil around the structure and is the usual approach for subterranean termites; bait stations are the better tool in some situations and can be used alongside it. Your technician will tell you which one your home is getting and why.
How much does termite treatment cost?
Termite work is quoted per home rather than off the recurring plan, because the treatment depends on the species, the construction, and how far the activity has spread. We send a no-obligation estimate by text before anything starts, so you see the number first.
