As the weather warms up, bugs appear. Homeowners are especially concerned about pests like ticks that carry Lyme disease and other harmful bacteria. It’s vital to hire a professional to keep the yard and home free from these unwelcome pests.

Gnats, fruit flies, and similar insects can be annoying, especially in summer. Even though it seems they came from nowhere, gnats enter a living space through open doors, windows, cracks in the walls, poorly installed screens, and similar.

When homeowners check their attics and basements, spotting pesky insects crawling around the property can be an unpleasant experience. Protecting the home includes eliminating the insects and repairing the damage they’ve caused.

Pest control is sought out only after an infestation has already occurred in many cases. However, once you notice an insect or rodent problem, it is sure that a certain amount of damage has already been done.

Homeowners can almost always prevent a pest invasion. From termites to rodents, protecting yourself from insects and other wild creatures is simple by home-sealing and pest-proofing your home. Let's discuss the best ways to prevent a bug invasion at your Phoenix metro residence:

Do-it-yourself (DIY) pest control can be enticing. The next time you’re at the grocery store, you plan to pick up an ant control spray or some ant traps, and within no time, the problem will seem far away.

Wasps are most active in the spring and summer in Arizona. In April, the queen wasps build nests and begin to populate the nests with worker wasps.

Wasps can be dangerous as, on average, more than 60 sting-related deaths occur in the USA each year. Although a wasp sting is unlikely to cause death in most run-ins, you should still avoid them.

The average Phoenix homeowner might run into various types of pests over time. Ants, mice, wasps, termites and cockroaches, and even bedbugs are unwelcome guests in many homes.

Termites feed on an organic compound called cellulose, found primarily in wood, trees, and plants. Because termites prefer dark spaces, they favor the walls and foundations of our homes. As a result, termite infestations are costly for homeowners.

Most homeowners fixate on eliminating pests from the home’s main level and forget that the attic is one of the most accessible areas by rodents and pests.

With a rise in “essential” businesses opening in the last year, we’ve heard many horror stories regarding unlicensed and inexperienced pest control companies scamming innocent homeowners out of their hard-earned money.

The sight of a roach crawling along your floor is both frustrating and disconcerting.

Anyone who has ever dealt with weeds knows how annoying these plant pests can get.

Termites and carpenter ants are pests responsible for many pest control calls.

Encountering cockroaches in the house is one of the most unpleasant experiences for any homeowner.

Some rodent species can spread dangerous diseases that result in many health problems.

The giant crab spiders or the golden huntsman (due to its hunting ability) spiders are among the largest spider species commonly found in Arizona.

Scorpions are highly adaptable arachnids, so they don't just die off or disappear during the winter.
