Flagstaff's high elevation and colder winters don't eliminate pests; they simply drive them indoors. As temperatures drop, expect increased activity from pests seeking shelter from the elements in your home.
Cockroaches: Cockroaches in Flagstaff are drawn indoors by the search for consistent warmth and available water sources. They often congregate in kitchens and bathrooms, contaminating food and spreading bacteria.
Termites: While termite activity is less intense in Flagstaff compared to southern Arizona, it is still a concern. Subterranean termites can cause significant damage to wooden structures. Regular inspections are crucial to detect early signs of infestation, especially in areas with moist soil near foundations.
