What Monsoon Storms Stir Up
Heavy rain floods the soil and cracks where insects live. Crickets and ants move toward higher, drier ground, which usually means slabs, patios, and garages.
Warm, humid days after a storm also trigger termite swarms. Winged termites leave the colony to start new ones, and seeing them indoors is a strong sign a colony is close.
Scorpions also become more active during the humid weeks of late summer. They follow crickets and other prey toward lights and walls, so cricket surges often lead to more scorpion sightings.
Mosquitoes can also flare up after storms if water sits in pots, toys, or low spots in the yard for more than a few days.
- Cricket surges along walls and lights
- Ant colonies relocating after rain
- Termite swarmers near windows
Getting Ahead of the Season
Starting service in late spring puts a fresh barrier in place before the storms arrive. During the season, bi-monthly visits keep it working, and free re-treatments cover any surges in between.
We also check that gutters, downspouts, and irrigation are not pooling water against your foundation. Small drainage fixes go a long way.
Clearing leaf piles and debris from the base of walls also removes damp cover pests use after a storm.
Honest, Local Service
Green Magic has served the East Valley and greater Phoenix since 2016. Bi-monthly plans start starting at $45 per month for homes up to 2,500 square feet, with no hidden fees.
Our technicians are paid by the day, not by the stop, so even during the busy season your visit will not be rushed. Everything we apply is eco-friendly and safe for kids and pets after it dries.

Are termite swarmers dangerous?
They do not bite or sting, but they are a sign of a nearby colony that could reach your home. Call us for an inspection if you see them. Catching termites early saves a lot of repair cost later.
Why are there so many crickets after it rains?
Rain drives crickets out of the ground and toward light and shelter. Perimeter treatment and warmer toned porch bulbs help a lot. Keeping debris away from walls also gives them fewer places to hide.
How quickly can you respond during monsoon season?
Our standard is a visit the same day or the next, even during busy summer months. A quick call to 480-999-5302 is all it takes to book.
