Why We Encourage Starting the Year With Pest Protection
In Arizona, pests don’t disappear just because the calendar changes. Cooler temperatures drive pests like rodents indoors, while scorpions, spiders, and cockroaches continue to find shelter in garages, wall voids, and living spaces. And termites? They’re active year-round.
Waiting until pests become visible often means the problem is already established. That’s why we focus on early intervention and consistent protection, helping homeowners avoid infestations instead of chasing them.
Common Pests We See in Phoenix-Area Homes
Our team works with homeowners in Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, and across the Phoenix metro, and these pests are among the most common we’re called out for:
- Scorpions
- Ants
- Spiders
- Cockroaches
- Termites
- Mice and Rats
Understanding the behavior of these and other house-infesting pests helps us design effective treatments.
How We Protect Homes at Termio Pest Control
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter pest control. Every home is different, which is why we begin with a detailed inspection to identify pest activity, entry points, and conditions that could invite future problems.
From there, we build a targeted treatment plan designed to provide lasting protection, not temporary relief. Our goal is to eliminate existing pest pressures, stop new problems from developing, and help homeowners feel confident in their home year-round.

Mice and rats can damage insulation, wiring, and stored items. We offer targeted rodent control solutions to help manage activity and reduce the chances of repeat issues.
Simple Steps Homeowners Can Take to Reduce Pest Activity
Professional service goes further when paired with smart prevention habits:
