Pest Control in Arizona

Arizona is home to the Arizona bark scorpion, the most venomous scorpion species in North America and one found in unusually high densities throughout the Phoenix metro area, where it readily climbs walls and slips through gaps as small as a credit card's thickness to get indoors. The University of Arizona's Cooperative Extension has published extensive guidance on managing them precisely because they show up so often in homes built right up against the desert. Ironically, it's the presence of irrigated lawns, pools, and landscaping in an otherwise arid state that sustains a lot of Arizona's pest activity, creating moisture pockets that scorpions, black widow spiders, and subterranean termites all depend on despite the surrounding desert offering little water naturally. Kissing bugs, drawn to packrat nests common in desert landscaping, are another regional concern homeowners in outlying areas run into. Unlike colder states where insect activity drops off in winter, Arizona's mild low desert winters mean many of these pests stay active or only slow down slightly year round rather than going fully dormant.
