No matter how clean or new your home is, Arizona pests can still find a way in. Whether it’s ants in the pantry, scorpions in the bathroom, or mice in the garage, pests are constantly looking for warmth, moisture, and food—and your home is a perfect target.
At Bug Eyes Pest Control, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners identify where pests are entering and stop them for good. Here’s what you need to know to defend your home.
Common Pest Entry Points in Arizona Homes
1. Cracks in Foundations and Walls
Even the smallest crack can be a welcome mat for ants, spiders, or cockroaches. These pests only need a 1/16-inch gap to squeeze through.
Solution: Have your foundation inspected annually and seal any cracks with caulk or weatherproof filler.
2. Gaps Under Doors and Windows
Scorpions, spiders, and even snakes can enter through gaps in door sweeps or window seals.
Solution: Install door sweeps, weatherstripping, and window screens with no holes or tears.
3. Utility and Plumbing Openings
Areas where pipes, vents, or wiring enter your home are often left unsealed—a perfect tunnel for pests like roaches and mice.
Solution: Use expanding foam or mesh sealant around pipe and wire penetrations inside and outside the home.
4. Garage Doors and Storage Areas
Garages are often less insulated and closed off, making them a prime target for rodents, scorpions, and roaches.
Solution: Keep your garage organized, check for gaps in garage seals, and don’t store pet food or open bags inside.
5. Trees and Bushes Touching Your House
Overhanging trees or thick bushes allow pests to crawl right onto your roof or walls. This is a common way roof rats and ants get in!
Solution: Trim all landscaping at least 18 inches away from your home’s exterior.
Why DIY Pest Prevention Isn’t Always Enough
You can seal every gap and keep your home spotless, but some pests are incredibly persistent. For example:
Scorpions can flatten their bodies and enter under baseboards
Cockroaches can follow plumbing through your entire home
Rodents can chew new holes to re-enter once they’re inside
