Gilbert's desert suburbia permits special seasonal pest cycles that property owners have to take note of. Each season has its challenges, from springtime intrusions to indoor winter migrations.

Spring: Nature's Pest Renewal

March to May is Gilbert's peak pest season. While desert temperatures rise, harvester ants and Argentine ants become active with aggressive foraging in residential areas and gardens. Termite colonies produce swarmers during this time, so spring is critical for professional termite inspections. Black widow spiders come out of winter hiding places, normally garages, sheds, and outside storage. Crickets breed quickly, drawn to Gilbert's carefully manicured lawns and landscape irrigation.

Summer: Heat-Driven Property Incursions

Gilbert's hot summer days drive insects indoors for refuge. Bark scorpions are active at night, commonly invading buildings through cracks under windows and doors. German and American cockroaches like cold indoor locations and water. Drain flies and fruit flies are flying insects that breed around pools and irrigation systems that are prevalent in Gilbert neighborhoods.

Monsoon Season: Water Worsens Issues

Arizona's monsoon season has peculiar challenges for Gilbert's master-planned communities. Storm drains and retention basins create ideal mosquito breeding environments through standing water. Silverfish infestation increases in real estate owners with high humidity levels. Fungus gnats develop from landscaped waterings, and carpenter ants can create satellite colonies in water-damaged wood structures.

Fall: Migration and Preparation

September to November is when pests are getting ready to bunker up in the cold months. Roof rats and pack rats especially look for warm shelter, usually attics and wall voids, in Gilbert's newer suburbs. Desert spiders migrate indoors, and cluster flies congregate around south windows. Sealing up holes is essential at this time before winter invasions start.

Winter: Indoor activity persists

Gilbert's mild winters ensure pest activity is ongoing throughout the year. House centipedes are active in heated Real estate, while stored product pests such as Indian meal moths are pantry pests. Periodic warm days produce surprise scorpion and spider activity.
