Cockroaches are common throughout the Valley of the Sun, and they love living in Ahwatukee and other developed residential areas. They’ll hide out anywhere that is dark and messy, like your basement or garage, and just a few roaches can quickly turn into a full-scale infestation! These critters can carry disease and bacteria, creating a potential health risk for you and your family.

These critters are able to make their way inside a home by traveling:

• Through drains and sewers
• On grocery bags, luggage, or furniture
• Through screen doors or open windows
• Through the space between a door and the floor
• Along plumbing pipes

As you might have guessed from their name, bark scorpions like to nest in tree bark. However, they’ll also make their homes in concrete block walls, which are common around homes throughout the region.

We see them especially often in homes along the edge of town up against South Mountain, though they can be found just about anywhere. Their stings can be quite painful, though not deadly for healthy adults. Either way, bark scorpions aren’t fun so let us get rid of them for you!

ahwatukee termite control

Costing billions of dollars’ worth of damage each year, termites are every homeowner’s worst nightmare. Since they are often hidden away within the structure of a home, they can be there for years before a homeowner finally discovers them. The three types of termites are subterranean, drywood, and dampwood. All in search of wood, termites have the potential to cause extensive, irreversible damage to your home.

Things that attract termites include:

• Excess foliage
• Piles of wood
• Dead or decaying trees
• Mulch
• Cellulose material
• Clogged gutters
• Warm, dark places
• Moist soil

If you notice winged ants, mud tubes, wings that have been shed, or structural damage to your home, you might be facing a termite infestation.

Ants are one of the most common pests around. They are social insects, which means that they live and travel with their colonies. Ants are known by homeowners everywhere for invading countless kitchens and putting quite a damper on summer BBQs!

To prevent an ant invasion in your home, you need to:

• Avoid leaving cat or dog food outside
• Keep all food in airtight containers
• Avoid leaving leftover food sitting on the counter for too long
• Clean up and food or drink spills right away
• Hard to open windows
• Keep floors swept and mopped

After hibernating underground all winter, ants are ready to escape their nests and eat come springtime. Leaving trails of scent, ants guide hundreds or even thousands of soldiers from their colonies to their chosen source of food.

Generally, crickets prefer to live and breed outdoors. However, once they find their way into your yard, it is very easy for them to get inside your home. On occasion, they enter a home in search of food, shelter, and moisture. Once inside, they feed on clothing and invade basements, crawlspaces, and attics.

To keep crickets away from your home, there are several precautions you can take. These include:

• Seal any cracks or holes along the foundation of your home
• Clear away excess debris, such as leaves, from your yard
• Keep piles of wood off the ground and away from your home
• Install yellow bug lights around your home to keep crickets away
• Make sure your attic is well ventilated
