Common Desert Pests
Arizona is home to a plethora of insect species. Once these bugs start making their way into your home or begin to destroy your landscaping, it’s time to call pest control. Here are a few of the most common pests to keep an eye out for in Arizona.
- Black widows – This breed of spider is one of the most venomous spiders in North America. If you’re noticing these colorful critters in your yard or even in your home, you should act right away. Thoroughly clean areas that attract spiders, like closets and basements, and clean any items brought into your home from the outside.
- Bark scorpions – These pests live almost exclusively in Arizona. Their sting can cause difficulty breathing, convulsions, and, very rarely, death. You can prevent them from entering your home by sealing up even the tiniest cracks and keep them out of your landscaping by keeping your plants well-pruned.
- Ants – These tiny bugs are an extremely common pest. Ants are most attracted to food and water, so keep eating areas well-cleaned and remove any leaks that could be letting excess moisture into your home.
- Crickets – House crickets are like ants in many ways. They’re attracted to dark, damp areas and can reproduce extremely quickly. Keep them away by fixing leaks and gaps in your windows that could be letting them in.
