Green Space Brings More Than Shade
Living near a park is great for evening walks and weekend games. It also means more irrigation, more turf, and more insects in the area. Those insects become food for spiders and scorpions, which then look for shelter along nearby block walls and in garages.
Mature shrubs, wood piles, and stored items along side yards give black widows and other spiders dark places to build. Many homeowners first notice them while reaching behind trash cans or moving patio furniture.
Scorpions use those same spots. Central Tempe homes do not always see the numbers that desert-edge neighborhoods do, but bark scorpions still turn up in garages, laundry rooms, and bathrooms, often after a hot night.
Wasps Around Patios and Eaves
Paper wasps love the protected spaces under eaves, patio covers, and play structures. Their nests can grow quickly in spring and summer, and stings are a real concern for families with kids.
We remove nests safely and treat the area so wasps are less likely to rebuild there. If you see bees coming and going from a wall or tree, keep your distance and call us, since Africanized bees can be aggressive.

Are black widows dangerous?
Black widow bites can be painful and sometimes need medical attention. Wear gloves when moving items in garages and side yards, and let us treat their favorite hiding spots. If you are bitten and feel unwell, contact a medical professional.
How do you handle wasp nests?
We remove active nests and treat the surrounding area to discourage rebuilding. It is safest not to knock nests down yourself. Our technicians wear protective gear and know how to handle active nests.
Do you offer scorpion service in Tempe?
Yes. We provide regular scorpion treatment and a Black Light Scorpion Service after dark to locate and remove them. Scorpions glow under UV light, which makes them much easier to spot at night.
