A Year of Pests in Tempe Gardens
Arizona does not get a real winter break from bugs, but the mix does change. Knowing what to expect helps you spot problems early.
- Spring: ant trails, bees looking for new homes
- Early summer: scorpions and roaches get active at night
- Monsoon: termite swarms, ants and crickets move indoors
- Fall: spiders and crickets around lights and garages
- Winter: rodents look for warm places to nest
Monsoon Is the Big One
When summer storms roll through, the ground gets soaked fast. Ant colonies flood and relocate, crickets pile up around doors and lights, and termites take flight to start new colonies. Many Tempe homeowners first notice termite wings on a windowsill the morning after a storm.
Our technicians time their attention around these shifts. Before and during monsoon, we pay extra attention to door thresholds, weep screeds, garage seals, and damp soil near the foundation.
After a big storm, take a quick walk around the house. Look for ant trails at doors, wings on windowsills, and any spots where water pooled against the foundation. Those are the places we will want to focus on next visit.

Why do crickets pile up around my doors in late summer?
Crickets are drawn to light and moisture, both common after monsoon storms. Warm-colored bulbs and perimeter treatment help reduce them. Keeping doors closed in the evening also helps a lot.
Do termites swarm in Tempe?
Yes. Subterranean termites often swarm after summer rains. Seeing swarmers or wings near your home is a good reason to schedule an inspection. Early detection can make treatment simpler.
Do you service homes year round?
Yes. Our bi-monthly plan keeps protection in place in every season. Each season brings different pests, and we adjust our focus to match. If something new shows up, call us and we will come back free.
