Phoenix homeowners know that living in the desert means dealing with more than just sunshine and heat. Pests adapt to every season, finding new ways to invade homes and businesses. Understanding the seasonal cycles of Arizona’s most common pests is the key to protecting your property year-round.
At Pro Vizion Pest Solutions, we tailor treatments to match the unique challenges each season brings. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect and how to stay ahead.
Spring: Ants and Termites on the Move
When temperatures warm up, ants and termites become highly active. Termite swarms often occur in spring, making this a critical time for inspections. Ants, drawn by food and moisture, are quick to invade kitchens and pantries.
Prevention Tips:
Schedule a termite inspection before peak season
Seal food in airtight containers
Eliminate standing water near the home
Summer: Scorpions and Mosquitoes
With scorching summer heat, scorpions seek shelter in cool homes and garages, while mosquitoes thrive during monsoon rains. Both pests are major health risks if left untreated.
Prevention Tips:
Seal entry points around doors and windows
Eliminate outdoor water sources
Use professional barrier treatments for scorpions
Fall: Rodents and Spiders
As temperatures drop, rodents look for warmth indoors, while spiders build webs in garages, sheds, and attics. Brown recluse and black widow spiders are especially concerning in Arizona.
Prevention Tips:
Seal cracks and crevices around foundations
Store firewood away from the home
Keep clutter to a minimum in storage areas
Winter: Cockroaches and Crickets
Contrary to popular belief, pests don’t disappear in winter. Cockroaches move indoors to escape the cold, while crickets find shelter in dark, moist areas. Both can attract predators like scorpions.
Prevention Tips:
Keep drains and sinks clean
Repair leaky pipes
Reduce moisture in basements and crawl spaces
