More Information about Termites in Arkansas

According to Termite Infestation Probability Zones (TIP Zones), Arkansas is located in TIP Zone #2 (moderate to heavy), which means the potential for termite damage is considered significant. Areas with higher probabilities for activity require more termite control measures to meet International Residential Code building standards for new homes than areas with less frequent activity.

Although drywood termites are not established in Arkansas, it is possible for this species to travel in wooden objects, such as furniture and wine crates, and establish colonies in the state. Drywood termites have been found in areas far from their native habitats. A licensed termite inspector can help identify species not native to the state.

In states like Arkansas where termites are fairly active and widespread, it is essential to maintain an effective termite prevention and control program. If you own a home in Arkansas, talk to your termite control expert about methods to help protect your home from termite infestations and damage.
