Common pests in Scottsdale, AZ

The Phoenix metropolitan area is the sunniest city in the United States with upwards of 300 sunny days per year. With that much sun, rain is scarce in the Scottsdale - Phoenix area, and residents can expect to enjoy warmer winters and hot summers. However, this desert climate also brings a unique variety of pests to the region.

Scottsdale and Phoenix are home to different species of bugs and other pests that residents may encounter. Here are some of the most common pests our local technicians help protect against in the Scottsdale-Phoenix area.

Termites

Despite the desert climate, termites remain a big problem for residents in the Scottsdale-Phoenix area. Termites are wood destroying insects that can cause serious damage to your home or business. These pests consume and tunnel through wood, which leads to costly structural integrity issues.

Bed Bugs

A bed bug infestation in your Scottsdale home can lead to sleepless, irritating nights. Bed bugs hide in mattresses and they emerge during the night to feed on human blood. While their bites are mostly harmless, they can lead to itchy red welts and skin irritation in some people.

Fleas

Fleas are parasitic insects that survive on the blood of a host. Often a family pet will pick up fleas while they are outside and unknowingly bring them into the house. Fleas can cause irritation to pets and pet owners, so if you notice any on your pet or in your home, contact a pest control professional.

Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes can quickly ruin pleasant picnics or other outdoor activities. While mosquito bites can be irritating, some mosquitoes can carry disease-causing pathogens so it's important to contact a pest control professional if you have a large number of mosquitoes around your home.

Residents of the Phoenix metropolitan area need to be aware of active times for the mosquito population. During the monsoon season, mosquitoes are more active, as they seek out water for breeding. In the desert climate where water is not readily available, any water on your property may be attractive to mosquitoes.
