  What's a pest?

  You may think that any random bug outside in Phoenix is a pest, but that’s not necessarily the case. A pest is an undesired organism that negatively affects people. This could involve damaging property, biting, contaminating food or other problems. At Western Exterminator, our pest specialists are equipped to handle your pest problems.

  Which Phoenix pests should I keep an eye out for?

  A variety of pests call Phoenix home. You certainly want to stay vigilant about termites due to the harm to property that can result from their activity. You should also steer clear of the Arizona bark scorpion and its threatening venom. The cockroach is another creature to keep at top of mind, as they often yield offspring in unclean places. Bed bugs should also go on your list of pests to be aware of — they can be tough to see but can be located in hidden places near beds, such as headboards and seams of mattresses.

  Who's responsible for pests, landlord or tenant?

  It depends on what the circumstances are. In general, a landlord is responsible for bed bug control, but most rental agreements these days include a policy that articulates each party’s responsibility. Arizona law requires that landlords supply tenants with bed bug educational materials and landlords are not allowed to lease a place if they are aware that it is infested with bed bugs. On the other hand, tenants must let a landlord know about an infestation of bed bugs and they are not permitted to bring bed-bug infested materials into a unit.

  What are signs of termites in Phoenix?

  If you spot mud tubes around your property, that could signify a desert subterranean termite infestation. Desert subterranean termites are common in Arizona. Their tubes are light-colored and can be found at ceiling rafters and plasterboard. Western drywood termites can also be a problem - pay attention to fecal pellets and wings that have been shed. If you observe any of these red flags of termites at your Phoenix property, you should contact a pest expert because you may be dealing with a termite infestation. Learn more about our termite treatment options.

Termites are widely considered the #1 pest in Arizona and the Phoenix area. While many types of termites are active throughout the Copper State, subterranean termites pose the greatest threat to homes and businesses. If a termite infestation goes untreated, the wood-destroying insects can cause significant property damage. 

Partner with Western Exterminator for termite control and prevention solutions. Ask about our termite fumigation and termite monitoring services. Our local exterminators have years of experience treating the most common termite species in Metro Phoenix. 

Spiders can be very frightening, but keep in mind that just a small number of spider species are seen as dangerous to people. The Arizona brown spider and the black widow spider are examples of venomous spiders in Arizona. Regardless of whether the spiders infesting your property are venomous, live spiders and their webs are not very visually appealing.

If you have spotted spiders at your Phoenix property, don’t fear! Western Exterminator experts are prepared to find spiders and get rid of them. Reach out to schedule a spider inspection with us today.

Arizona contains different species of cockroach such as the American cockroach, German cockroach and Turkestan cockroach. You’ll want to eliminate these pests right away - cockroaches can leave droppings in your property, feed on book bindings, and create other issues. If you have seen cockroaches around your home or business, get in touch with a pest control expert.
