Wave Pest Services is a new, locally owned, and operated pest control service, offering the newest environmentally friendly products and educational solutions for the nuisances in and around your home. The company services both residential and commercial sites throughout the greater Phoenix area, with a special connection to the communities in the East Valley.
Wave Pest Services was born on the values of utilizing premium treatments, coupled with excellent customer service, which Jake and Alyssa, Brett, and Annie, fondly bring back to their customers. Co-owner Alyssa Lewis was beaming as she recalled her days as a youngster when she attended Las Sendas Elementary School. “My brother and I are honored to own a business that services a community where we grew up,” she said.
What kinds of pests are active in Arizona in winter? Rodents. That means rats, mice, and even ground squirrels. These pests can contaminate areas in and around your home as well as spread disease.
Many people think rodents hibernate in the coldest months, but that isn’t the case. They are active all year, just slowing down a little in the winter. These disease spreading critters spend the winter looking for warm indoor and outdoor spaces to nest. Their tiny bodies can squeeze through very small spaces.
Diseases can spread to humans when fresh droppings, urine, or nesting materials are stirred up, becoming airborne. Mice and rats like clutter and will migrate to cardboard boxes, citrus trees, and wood piles. Evidence of severe infestation includes the chewing of insulation and weather stripping at entry points.
To deter rodent nesting and activity, keep outdoor spaces free of clutter. Make sure trash cans lids are securely in place and close possible interior entry points with weatherstripping. Most important, be sure to routinely inspect possible sources of bedding.
Ants are another potential problem for Arizonans in winter. There are a variety of species here in the desert, ranging from carpenter ants, crazy ants, fire ants to odorous house ants. And the truth is, these pests also have a built-in weather-changing sense that slows them down but doesn’t stop them, even in our coldest months. During winter you may see evidence of them underneath trees and rocks.
