Scorpions – Scorpions are a serious problem in Phoenix. They are commonly found in homes, commercial buildings, and on cinder block walls. They typically feed on other insects, such as crickets and spiders but do not need to feed often. What they are looking for in your home is a water source, nothing can live in the desert without water and your home has many sources of moisture that a scorpion can take advantage of. No one likes to see scorpions so don’t wait until you see one because once you see one, you already have a problem.

Roaches – When a cockroach finds a place with enough food and water, the infestation begins. In the heat of the desert, a cockroach won’t last very long in the heat of the sun so they look for warm, dark and moist places to hide, feed and breed. Once they find a place, it doesn’t take long for a family of roaches to become an infestation.

Spiders – If you have lived in Arizona any amount of time, you have come across that big black spider with the red hour glass on its abdomen.

Black widow spiders hide in the corners of buildings, in back yard sheds, under and in wood and trash piles, in basement window wells and many other cool and dark corners of your home. They are hunting for other insects to trap in their web and eat. If you see one, stay clear and call an exterminator, black widow spiders are very dangerous.

Having ants in your kitchens isn’t as bad as having carpenter ants eat your home; either way, getting rid of ants is imperitive.
