South Tucson's arid climate and proximity to desert landscapes create ideal conditions for many pests. Scorpions, rodents, and cockroaches frequently seek shelter in homes, especially during the hottest months and monsoon season.
Cockroaches: In South Tucson, cockroaches, particularly the American and German varieties, are drawn indoors by the search for water. These pests thrive in warm, humid environments and readily infest kitchens and bathrooms. Effective control requires addressing moisture issues and sealing entry points.
Termites: Termite activity is a significant concern in South Tucson due to the warm climate and presence of native termite species. Subterranean termites can cause extensive damage to wooden structures, often going unnoticed until the damage is severe. Annual inspections are essential to detect and address infestations early.
