As the temperatures rise and flowers begin to bloom, pest activity surges in Arizona. Warmer weather wakes up hibernating pests, increases breeding rates, and brings more insects and rodents searching for food and shelter. Without proper pest prevention, homeowners can quickly find themselves dealing with infestations.
At Bug Eyes Pest Control, we know exactly how seasonal pests behave and offer proactive solutions to keep your home pest-free all spring long.
Common Spring Pests in Arizona
Springtime introduces a wide variety of pests that become more active, including:
🐜 Ants – With increased temperatures, ant colonies expand, sending workers into homes looking for food. Fire ants, in particular, can deliver painful stings and are common in Arizona yards.
🛠️ Termites – Spring is termite swarming season, meaning you may see winged termites near your home’s foundation. Subterranean termites cause severe structural damage if left untreated.
🐝 Bees & Wasps – Warmer weather increases bee and wasp activity, leading them to nest under eaves, inside walls, or in trees near homes. Wasps can be aggressive and territorial, especially near food sources.
🦂 Scorpions – As temperatures rise, scorpions come out of hiding to hunt. They sneak into garages, closets, and even shoes, putting families and pets at risk of painful stings.
🪳 Cockroaches – Roaches thrive in moisture and heat, making kitchens and bathrooms their ideal nesting areas. German and American cockroaches spread bacteria and trigger allergies.
🦟 Mosquitoes – Standing water from recent rains creates the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Their bites are itchy and irritating, and they can transmit diseases like West Nile virus.
How to Prevent Spring Pest Infestations
Here are proven steps to keep spring pests from invading your home:
🛠️ 1. Seal Entry Points
Pests enter homes through small cracks, gaps, and holes. Inspect your home’s foundation, doors, and windows. Use caulk and weatherstripping to block their way inside.
🧹 2. Keep Your Home Clean
Pests are attracted to crumbs, spills, and clutter. Maintain a clean home by:
✔️ Storing food in airtight containers
✔️ Wiping down counters and floors daily
✔️ Taking out the trash regularly
✔️ Vacuuming to eliminate insect eggs and crumbs
💦 3. Eliminate Moisture Issues
Leaky pipes, clogged drains, and standing water attract cockroaches, mosquitoes, and rodents. Fix leaks immediately and use dehumidifiers in damp areas like basements and crawl spaces.
🌿 4. Yard Maintenance
Your yard can be a breeding ground for pests. Keep it pest-free by:
✔️ Trimming bushes and trees away from your home
✔️ Removing woodpiles, rocks, and clutter where pests hide
✔️ Emptying birdbaths and pet water bowls regularly
🔍 5. Schedule a Professional Pest Inspection
The best way to prevent infestations is with routine pest control treatments. Our expert technicians provide:
✔️ Seasonal pest inspections

🚨 Droppings or Urine Stains – Rodents and cockroaches leave small black droppings near food, cabinets, or baseboards.
🚨 Increased Insect Activity – Seeing more ants, cockroaches, or flying termites means there’s likely an infestation.
🚨 Strange Noises at Night – Scratching sounds in walls, attics, or ceilings are a common sign of rodent activity.
