How Weather Impacts Termite Activity
Warm Temperatures Mean Active Termites
Termites are cold-blooded insects, which means their activity increases as temperatures rise. They thrive in warm conditions and slow down very little during Arizona’s mild winters.
Because winters are getting warmer:
-
Termites remain active longer throughout the year
-
Colonies continue feeding instead of going dormant
-
Homes face prolonged exposure to termite damage
This extended activity window gives termites more time to spread undetected.
Moisture and Rain Trigger Termite Swarms
While warmth keeps termites active, moisture is what often triggers termite swarms.
You’re more likely to see termite activity:
-
After rainstorms
-
During periods of higher humidity
-
Following monsoon weather
Moist soil allows subterranean termites to build mud tubes from the ground into your home’s structure. Swarming termites — the winged reproductive termites — often appear near windows, doors, or light fixtures after warm, wet weather.
Seeing swarmers is a strong indicator that a termite colony may already be nearby.
Termite Risk Is High in Arizona
Arizona’s climate creates ideal conditions for termites, even in desert environments. Subterranean termites are especially common and can cause damage to homes of all ages — including newer construction.
Important termite facts homeowners should know:
-
Termites are active most of the year in Arizona
-
Damage often occurs long before signs are visible
-
Homeowner’s insurance typically does not cover termite damage
This makes early detection and prevention critical.
Signs of Termite Activity to Watch For
After periods of warm or wet weather, watch for:
-
Winged termites (swarmers) inside or near your home
-
Discarded wings on windowsills or floors
-
Mud tubes along foundations or walls
-
Hollow or damaged wood
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to act quickly.
