Phoenix's arid weather provides perfect conditions for many pest species all year round. Property and building owners are faced with a wide variety of insects and arachnids that have adapted to live in Arizona's special conditions. Knowledge of these common intruders allows owners to recognize potential problems before they turn into real issues.
Phoenix's year-round high temperatures and urban growth provide the ideal conditions for these pests' populations to grow. All the species move into indoor areas during extreme temperatures, and thus, professional pest control becomes a requirement for property protection.
Green Arrow Pest Solutions provides complete identification and treatment of all the common pests of Phoenix. Our professional technicians understand local pest habits and provide very effective solutions that eliminate infestations and prevent future problems throughout the valley's challenging desert climate.
Phoenix's arid environment causes special pest issues at all times of the year. Knowledge of these seasonal trends enables residents to anticipate and avoid infestations before they become an issue.
Spring: The Awakening Season
When the weather gets warmer in March and April, Phoenix has an increase in insect activity. The winter hibernation period is over for ants, and the harvester ants and pavement ants are especially active. Spring is the season when termite swarmers start their reproductive flights, and therefore, this is the peak time for termite inspections. Cockroaches begin venturing out of their hiding places more often as they seek food and water sources.
Summer: Maximum Activity Time
Phoenix's hot summer sun attracts pests like scorpions, who enter property through small cracks and crevices at night. Crickets and spiders become more active, and flying insects such as flies and gnats breed quickly in water sources. The hot weather also forces rodents into the cooler indoor spaces.
Monsoon Season: Moisture-Led Infestations
Arizona monsoon weather means higher humidity and periodic flooding, perfect weather for certain insects. Mosquitoes breed quickly in the standing water that storms create. Silverfish prefer higher moisture, and fungus gnats develop in waterlogged plants. There is more movement of cockroaches, too, since they are attracted to higher moisture levels.
Fall: Prevention and Preparation
As soon as temperatures start falling, most insects begin winter preparations. Rodents actively look for warm shelter, so this is the ideal time for mouse and rat invasions. Spiders are seen more frequently as they venture inside, and cluster flies can be seen around doors and windows. This period is important when it comes to caulking gaps and taking preventive actions.
Winter: Indoor Invaders
Phoenix's mild winter means pest activity does not entirely cease. House centipedes will be picking up inside warm interior areas, and stored product pests such as beetles and pantry moths may be active in heated buildings. Sudden warm days may initiate unexpected pest activity.
Green Arrow Pest Solutions offers season-specific treatments to address Phoenix's unique pest patterns, providing year-round protection for your family and residence.
