General

• Commercial Pest Control
  Wear long sleeves and pants if you can bear the heat. Using mosquito nets are also effective. Do not let water stand stagnant anywhere. Look for any leaky faucets, spare tires and unused materials in the backyard, clean the gutters, cover the garbage containers, etc. The best way is to protect yourself and your surroundings is through the use of EPA-registered repellents that have been evaluated and approved for effectiveness and safety. Seek residential or commercial pest control services that are trained for pesticide application before the situation is out of control.

Insects and Spiders

• Ants
  Some species of ants enter tiny cracks in your home looking for spills and other food in the kitchen. Ants range from the larger size all the way down to tiny. They tend to travel on trails established by scout ants looking for food. Along the way, there are pheromones to help guide the ant colony members—straight to your kitchen!
• Spiders
  Regardless of the variety, many people have a phobia of spiders, and their webs can leave a home with a creepy, neglected look. By and large spiders are helpful in the landscape as they eat a large portion of other undesirable pests. However, many people still fear them, especially when they discover an infestation of one of the less desirable varieties. Some spiders are poisonous, and even non-poisonous bites can be painful.
• Termites
  Termites are rampant throughout the Valley, and, as the old joke says, “There are two kinds of homes: those that have termites and those that will get termites.”
• Bed Bugs
  There are various species of pests that populate Arizona and make their way into homes and businesses, each with a unique set of potential problems. For example, bed bugs reproduce rapidly and harass North Mountain Village residents. Although relatively harmless, their bites cause itching and discomfort.
• Fleas
  A flea is an external parasite which prefers the 40-50 oval,.5 mm eggs per day after a blood meal, which fall from the fur of the pet wherever it goes, whether than be on the carpet, upholstery, or yard. In 2-14 days, the eggs hatch. The larvae are 2 mm long, slender and pale. They hide in dark places and grow to a length of 5 mm before pupating. Once they pupate, the heat and carbon dioxide (breath) of a host animal will cause them to hatch and launch themselves onto a host. The head, neck, tail, and belly area where fleas can remain warm and protected are the most popular hiding spots for fleas on your pet.
• Cockroaches
  Roaches can be one of many varieties, colors, and sizes. Most cockroaches are nocturnal and hide beneath furniture and baseboards, sewers, and leaves. It is most disturbing when they’re seen scurrying across the kitchen counter or shower floor when the inhabitants of the home turn on the light for a late-night snack.
• Silverfish
  Silverfish are commonly found in homes where boxes, books, and other paper goods and foods consumed by silverfish are stored. While they aren’t poisonous or harmful, they leave unsightly stains on these products where they chew or graze, ranging from light to dark gray. Silverfish don’t bite, but they’re kind of creepy, because of the way they move. Some people have an allergic reaction when they are around, possibly because of the skins they shed when they molt. They range from a half-inch to an inch in length.
• Bees
  Africanized and Western honey bees are the same species, but the Africanized bees are a hybrid between the Brazilian and southern African bees. This hybridized bee is a dangerous stinging insect that may chase perceived threats for 400-500 yards if disturbed and become aggressive. As a result, they were quickly nicknamed “killer bees.” They can be found in parts of the U.S., including Nevada, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico.
• Wasps
  Wasps are the bane of any outdoor activity, especially parties, barbecues, and other events that involve food. They will nest under eaves and patios, in the attic and crawl spaces, and other places that allow them to keep cool and dry, but still have easy access to food and water.
• Ticks
  Once the tick finds a spot where it can hunker down in relative privacy, it will bite and attach itself to the host, where it will continue to live, still attached, to feed and grow for the next ten days. At first, the tick may be impossible to see, but as it grows, it becomes noticeable. Most people have no symptoms, but those who are allergic can have pain, burning, swelling, and, in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. Ticks can also transmit Lyme disease, but that will typically have a larger area of swelling, up to six inches.

• Mosquitoes
  Flies and mosquitoes are two of the more annoying pests found in Arizona. The area is home to several types of mosquitoes and flies that not only irritate, bite, and cause itching, but can also be deadly, since most types of flying pests carry and transmit diseases. A fast and effective solution is to find a licensed, professional pest control service.
• Flies
  Flies can be found around unprotected food, dirty areas, clogged drains and standing water. You can kill a few flies but stopping an infestation isn’t easy. Using random chemicals is only partially successful and fly strips will leave the carcasses in full view, giving others a negative impact on your lifestyle.

• Scorpions
  Scorpions come in several varieties, but the most notable is the bark scorpion, which ranges from a pale yellow to a deep tan color. At birth, scorpions live on their mother’s back until they’re old enough to fend for themselves. The sight of a mother scorpion with a dozen or more babies on her back can be an unnerving experience. The bark scorpion attacks by stabbing repeatedly, and because they can climb and hang upside down, their resting places are almost limitless.
• Hornets
• Moths
  Honey bees are vital for the environment on many levels. Primarily, they’re essential to the food supply by fertilizing crops through pollination. Moths, butterflies, and some other species are excellent pollinators, but they pale compared to honey bees. Some estimates suggest that the pollination from honey bees helps farmers save billions of dollars yearly on fertilization. Manual processes are also time-consuming, which could cause problems with other agricultural areas.
• Palmetto Bugs
  American cockroaches are much bigger than their German counterparts. They can fly from place to place and infest palm trees, drains, and basements. Some people call them palmetto bugs.
