Termite Risk in Val Vista Lakes

Val Vista Lakes is one of north Gilbert's most established and prestigious communities, built around a series of lakes and water features. With homes dating back to the late 1980s, Val Vista Lakes has one of the older housing stocks in Gilbert — and the combination of age, lake moisture, and mature landscaping creates significant termite risk.

Val Vista Lakes' namesake lakes create elevated moisture conditions throughout the community. The soil near the lakes is consistently moist, supporting large subterranean termite colonies year-round. Homes adjacent to the lakes have the highest termite risk in the community and should be inspected more frequently than properties in drier parts of the neighborhood.

Val Vista Lakes was developed in the late 1980s and 1990s. Homes from this era have been exposed to Arizona's termite pressure for 30–40 years, and any original pre-construction treatments have long since expired. Val Vista Lakes' older homes face risk from both Desert Subterranean Termites and Western Drywood Termites.

Val Vista Lakes' mature trees and irrigated landscaping add to the moisture conditions near foundations. Homes with large trees near the foundation should be inspected annually. Annual termite inspections are essential for all Val Vista Lakes homeowners. Contact Pest Control Bros for a free assessment of your Val Vista Lakes home's termite risk.
