Yuma, Arizona is known for being the sunniest place on earth, and while the weather draws a great deal of people, it also attracts unwanted pests. The desert climate provides the perfect breeding ground for various types of insects and rodents, making pest control in Yuma not a luxury, but a necessity. Learn more about specific pests that can threaten to invade your home or business and the most effective solutions to prevent them.
Common Pests in Yuma
The top 10 most common pests in Yuma are ants, termites, cockroaches, spiders, flies, rodents, birds, bees, bed bugs, and ticks. Each pest has unique traits which determine where they will settle, and therefore can require their own optimal treatment method. Although they are different in their own ways, one common factor remains the same across all of them: they can cause damage to your property and health. (There is further information on our Pest Details page for a deeper understanding of each pest.)
Desert Climate Challenges
In a lot of places around the world the winter puts a screeching halt to a lot of pest activity. Unfortunately for us, certain pests can remain active the entire year and in some cases actually increase. Termites and bed bugs are two examples of pests that can continue uninterrupted due to mild winter conditions in Yuma. Although their activity tends to decrease during colder months, scorpions will be more likely to seek warmth and shelter, leading to more indoor sightings. Rodents on the other hand have even more activity in the winter months due to lower temperatures and scarcer food sources encouraging them to invade homes or businesses.
Importance of Professional Pest Control
While there are steps worth taking to prevent pests by yourself (you can find DIY tips in other blogs/articles on the site, as well as in our newsletter), it is no substitute for professional pest control. Pest control companies have years of experience in desert pest behavior and treatment methods. Each home or business will encounter their own unique pest issues, which makes regular inspections from a professional a must-have for the best results. Proper plans are created to stop pests from returning, or preventing them altogether. Professionals also ensure treatments are safe for your pets, family, and environment.
