Monsoon Season = Pest Season

The rain may be a welcome relief from the Arizona heat… but your home isn’t the only place pests are looking for shelter.

Monsoon moisture can drive scorpions, ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents and other unwanted guests toward cooler, drier spaces—including your home.

And when the ground gets saturated?
Pests start looking for higher ground. Weeds included.

A strong exterior barrier and regular pest service can help keep your home protected before the monsoon chaos begins.

Monsoon season is here. Don’t wait for the pests to RSVP.

The black widow spider is one of the most recognizable venomous spiders in North America and is common throughout Arizona.

Here are a few key facts:

* Appearance: Adult females are glossy black with a distinctive red or orange hourglass marking on the underside of the abdomen. Males are much smaller, lighter in color, and rarely bite.
* Size: Females are about 1.5 inches across including their legs.
* Habitat: They prefer dark, undisturbed places such as garages, sheds, woodpiles, irrigation boxes, patio furniture, block walls, and outdoor storage areas.
* Webs: Their webs are messy, irregular tangles rather than the neat circular webs made by orb-weaver spiders.
* Behavior: Black widows are not aggressive. They usually stay hidden and bite only if trapped against the skin or disturbed.

Is the bite dangerous?

Their venom is very potent, but deaths are extremely rare with modern medical care.

DID YOU KNOW: The Sonoran Desert Toad breeds during Arizona’s summer monsoon season, typically after heavy rains.

Here’s the process:

* Heavy monsoon rains trigger adults to emerge from burrows and travel to temporary pools, ponds, washes, or other standing water.
* Males call with a low, sustained trill to attract females.
* During mating, the male grasps the female in a position called amplexus.
* As the female releases her eggs, the male fertilizes them externally.
* The female lays long, jelly-like strings containing thousands of eggs—often between 3,000 and 8,000 eggs.
* The eggs hatch in about 2–7 days, depending on water temperature.
* Tadpoles develop quickly, often transforming into tiny toads within 3–8 weeks, before temporary pools dry up.

Because monsoon pools are often short-lived, Sonoran Desert toads grow rapidly to complete their life cycle before the water disappears.

If you’re in Arizona, it’s also worth keeping pets away from these toads. They secrete a potent toxin from glands behind their eyes that can make dogs and cats seriously ill if they mouth or bite the toad.

The Sonoran Desert is full of remarkable wildlife, and the Sonoran Desert toad is no exception. While an important part of our ecosystem, these nocturnal visitors can pose a serious hazard to pets. Awareness, prevention, and a well-maintained property go a long way toward keeping your home safe.

To help keep your family and pets safe:
• Keep dogs leashed and supervised outdoors, especially at night.
• Turn on exterior lighting before letting pets into the yard so you can scan the area.
• Reduce standing water and damp hiding places around your property.
• If your pet mouths or licks a toad, rinse their mouth immediately with a gentle stream of water, wiping from the back of the mouth forward, and seek emergency veterinary care without delay.
