As temperatures begin to rise in Southern Arizona, pests become more active — and by the time spring fully arrives, many homeowners are already dealing with infestations. Ants, roaches, scorpions, spiders, rodents, and termites all surge in activity during spring, making prevention more important than ever.

At Desert Shield Pest Control, we help homeowners get ahead of pest problems before they start, protecting their homes year-round with professional, preventative pest control services designed specifically for the Tucson desert environment.

Why Spring Is Peak Pest Season in Tucson

Spring brings:

• Warmer temperatures

• Increased insect breeding

• More moisture from winter rains

• Increased pest movement toward homes

Pests don’t suddenly appear — they build up quietly around foundations, entry points, landscaping, and wall voids. Once activity becomes visible, the infestation is already established.

Preventative pest control before spring helps stop pests before they enter your home.
