The diverse ecosystems across Arizona provide habitat for an impressive variety of wildlife that residents frequently engage with. Many homeowners and businesses encounter animals such as raccoons, snakes, gophers, coyotes, pigeons, and squirrels—each presenting unique challenges. We additionally see regular issues with skunks, bats, bobcats, woodpeckers, and rabbits, along with invasive rodents and birds like house finches. Arizona’s mix of urban and desert environments supports this wide range of species, often requiring expert intervention. Knowing these animals helps us target solutions, ensuring properties stay safe, compliant, and free from wildlife disruptions.

While seasons shift dramatically throughout Arizona, wildlife activity follows predictable patterns that create unique challenges for homeowners. During spring and early summer, we see increased movement from snakes, scorpions, and rodents as temperatures rise and animals search for food and mates. Monsoon season brings more sightings of pests like ants, mosquitoes, and spiders seeking shelter from heavy rains. As cooler months approach, mammals such as raccoons, squirrels, and mice try to enter warm attics and crawlspaces. By understanding these cycles, we help protect your home year-round—addressing each season’s pest with targeted, proactive solutions. Call us for a seasonal inspection.

Countless Arizona homes face the risk of wildlife and pest intrusions due to a wide range of structural vulnerabilities and entry points. Common trouble spots include unsealed J-trims, attic access points, foundation cracks, and stucco expansion joints, which often go unnoticed. Gaps around windows, vents, and doors, along with poorly sealed garages and rooflines, provide easy access for pests and wildlife. Addressing these vulnerabilities through thorough inspections, proper sealing, and routine maintenance is crucial. We encourage homeowners to have professionals assess these areas, ensuring effective long-term protection for both property and family safety.

In recent months, Arizona’s neighborhoods have seen an uptick in wildlife sightings, as local development and rising temperatures push animals like coyotes, raccoons, and snakes closer to residential areas. Encounters with these species are becoming more frequent in both urban and suburban settings, raising concerns about property safety and health risks. Increased sightings often coincide with ongoing construction, drought, and habitat loss, prompting more calls for expert wildlife removal. Our team specializes in identifying entry points and implementing humane, effective solutions to keep families, pets, and properties protected. Schedule an inspection to address any concerns quickly.

How do rising temperatures and recent monsoon patterns in Arizona affect mosquito activity and the risk of West Nile virus? Our team at Lunar Pest Control has observed that the Valley's increasing heat combined with seasonal monsoon humidity creates ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes throughout Phoenix and surrounding areas. When rain collects in yards, drainage areas, and neglected pools, mosquito populations surge rapidly. This heightened activity directly correlates with increased West Nile virus transmission risk across Chandler, Mesa, and the entire metro area. We implement thorough mosquito management through our specialized treatment services, including misting systems and bait stations that provide lasting protection for your family and pets.

Even as Arizona’s desert climate poses unique challenges, rat and rodent infestations have become an increasingly common concern for homeowners and businesses throughout the Phoenix metro area. Rodents adapt well to urban and suburban environments, seeking food, water, and shelter inside homes, attics, and commercial spaces year-round. Their presence not only damages property but likewise poses significant health risks through droppings and disease transmission. Our team at Lunar Pest Control responds quickly with thorough inspections, targeted treatments, and advanced monitoring tools to eliminate current infestations and prevent future issues. Contact us today for proactive, reliable rodent control.
