In addition to any home inspection, you may want to have a termite inspection done on your home. Arizona homes are a common food source for termites. Take a look at the Office of Pest Management (OPM) publication, “What You Should Know about Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection Reports“.

To obtain a termite history report on a property, visit the OPM website or call 1-800-223-0618.Termite warranties are usually good up to 5 years. You may want to contact the most current company to have treated the property to see if they have a warranty on it as well.

Another way to find out if a property is covered under a current termite warranty may be to call 602-255-3664.

Here’s a list of termite inspection/exterminating companies. You may also want to check the Yellow Pages for other companies.
