Rental Turnover Is a Pest Problem in Tempe
Precision Pest Control works Tempe from the rental blocks around ASU and Mill Avenue out to the 1960s brick tract homes south of Baseline and the commercial along Tempe Town Lake and the Papago corridor. This is a dense, high-turnover city, and that shapes almost every call we take here.
Tempe has the highest housing turnover of any city we service in the Valley and the pest list follows it. Bed bugs are the headline, moving between units with furniture and boxes every August and May. German cockroaches spread through shared plumbing walls in older apartment stock. Add Argentine ants and crickets on the flood-irrigated lots south of Broadway, roof rats in the mature ash and citrus of the older neighborhoods, mosquitoes off Tempe Town Lake, and bark scorpions and black widows in the blocks that back onto Papago Park.

Bed bug work in a dense rental city is as much a scheduling and documentation problem as a treatment problem. Treating one unit while the unit next door goes untreated is money spent for nothing, because they move through shared walls and outlets. We inspect adjacent and stacked units as a matter of course, treat what is actually infested, and give the property manager written findings for each unit so there is a record when a tenant disputes the source. For single-family rentals we time inspections to the turn rather than the lease date, which is the only point where the unit is empty enough to do it properly.
The rest of Tempe is a more ordinary residential job with one wrinkle, which is age. The brick and block tract homes built south of Baseline in the 1960s have settled, and settled slabs mean cracks at the expansion joints and gaps at plumbing penetrations. Those are ant and scorpion routes. On the lots that still flood irrigate near the older neighborhoods, we time exterior treatment to the water schedule the same way we do in Mesa. Around Town Lake and the Papago boundary we treat for mosquito harborage and desert pests respectively.
