Scottsdale's upscale desert communities have their bug cycles throughout the year. Understanding these cycles enables residential owners to protect their property and their way of life in this upscale Arizona city.

Spring: Desert Awakening

March to May is the height of pest season with the warmer weather. Fire ants construct new colonies near Scottsdale's beautifully manicured golf courses and resort communities. Mature colony termite swarmers infest the area's luxury wood structures and landscaping. Desert cockroaches emerge from winter hiding locations, and tarantulas initiate their annual migrations near North Scottsdale's desert preserve areas.

Summer: Scorching Survival Mode

Scottsdale's hot summers drive the pests to cooler temperatures. Bark scorpions infest upscale residences via small cracks, a frequent occurrence in pool areas and recreation areas. Palo verde beetles show up in July and August, attracted to landscape lighting at resorts and country clubs. Crickets are prolific in the large irrigation systems around Scottsdale, and flies congregate at water locations and outdoor dining locations.

Monsoon Season: Moisture Mayhem

Arizona's monsoon season presents unique challenges to Scottsdale residents. Desert wash flash flooding compels rodents to seek out higher residential elevations. Mosquitoes breed in temporary water around golf course water hazards and resort fountains. Silverfish infestations increase in climate-controlled facilities, and fungus gnats increase in water-saturated desert landscaping and resort gardens.

Fall: Migration Patterns

September to November also has intense pest activity when the temperatures settle. Pack rats winter in Scottsdale foothills domains as well, and they prefer high-end property with convenient attic access. Desert spiders shift near structures, and harvester ants get combative near patio and pool deck exterior sites. Winter pest prevention preparation is important during this period.

Winter: Reduced Activity

Scottsdale's mild winters do not exclude pest problems. Scorpions emerge on the rare day when it warms up, and stored product insects are present in heated commercial and resort food establishments. House centipedes still thrive in air-conditioned areas, and mice still look for shelter on cooler desert nights.
