Tempe, AZ Pest Control

Pest control for Tempe's urban density, ASU housing and lakefront properties.

Local Coverage

What to watch for around your Tempe property

Tempe's dense, urban layout around ASU and Tempe Town Lake means pest pressure travels differently here — shared walls, standing water and mature older neighborhoods each bring their own set of problems.

If you're near Tempe Town Lake or a canal, keep an eye on standing water for mosquitoes, check shared walls and vents in apartments for roach activity, and inspect garages or window wells in older homes for spiders.

Pests We See Most

What Tempe residents are dealing with

Cockroaches

Tempe's dense apartment and student housing near ASU sees a steady flow of German and American roaches moving between units and shared walls.

Ants

Irrigated landscaping around Tempe Town Lake and the many multifamily properties nearby keep odorous house ants and pavement ants active year-round.

Spiders

Older Tempe homes near Papago Park and the Maple-Ash neighborhood see black widows and wolf spiders in garages, sheds and window wells.

Mice and rats

Urban density and mature landscaping close to downtown Tempe and the ASU campus give rodents easy access between properties, especially in fall and winter.

Mosquitoes

Standing water around Tempe Town Lake and canal-adjacent parks makes mosquito pressure noticeably higher here than in drier East Valley towns.

Termites

Older wood-frame construction throughout central Tempe combined with year-round irrigation is a common setup for subterranean termite activity.
