Scorpions are often easy to identify because they have a distinct appearance. With eight legs, coloring that can vary from tan to black, two modified mouthparts with pincers, and a large tail with an attached stinger at the end, most scorpions don’t grow any longer than two inches.

A scorpion’s diet usually consists of insects and small arthropods they can find outside. Scorpions like to spend a lot of time outside, and it’s not unusual to find them hiding in leaf piles, under rocks, or in tree bark. When they venture inside, scorpions prefer to hide in dark, isolated places where they know they won’t be disturbed. This can include basements, closets, piles of clothes, or even shoes.

Scorpions are most active at night, and although they have stingers, they usually aren’t aggressive. Most scorpion stings happen because you’ve accidentally stepped on them or gotten too close without knowing they were there. Fortunately, most scorpion stings aren’t considered medically significant, but they can hurt.

Bed bug infestations are on the rise around the country, and Apache Junction is no exception. But how do you know when these sneaky pests make it into your home? Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to detect, and often their populations grow to unmanageable levels before homeowners are even aware of their presence. Many people think bed bugs are too small to be seen, and while this isn’t the case, they are exceptionally skilled at hiding and are seldom spotted.

Instead of looking for bed bugs, there are other signs of bed bug infestations to be on the lookout for to detect bed bug presence before populations grow. Some of the more evident signs of bed bugs in your home include:

• Blood stains or bed bug droppings that look like marker stains on bedding, upholstery, and other items throughout your home.
• Bed bug eggs or shed skins in highly infested areas.
• Itchy red bed bug bites appear in lines or clusters.
• A musty odor that grows stronger over time and is concentrated in areas with high bed bug activity.

When you see bed bugs or other signs of their presence, it is important to manage infestations before they get out of hand quickly. The sooner you address bed bug activity, the more successful your efforts are likely to be. Call the experts at Wave Pest Services for assistance with bed bug control.

For many, the chirping of crickets at night is just background noise, but for some, these sounds can become a real nuisance. Male crickets create their characteristic chirping by rubbing their wings together to attract mates. When a large number of crickets settle on your property—or worse, inside your home—the noise can become overwhelming and stressful.

Beyond the noise, crickets can also cause damage. Though it typically requires a large population to create significant harm, crickets are known to chew on plants, leather, wood, fabrics, wallpaper, and even glued bindings.

Rodents are some of the most troublesome pests to invade homes, and unfortunately, they’re among the most common. Many people unknowingly provide rodents with food, water, and shelter, making residential properties ideal environments for them. These pests are particularly harmful due to the damage they cause, the diseases and parasites they carry, and the contamination they leave behind. Rodents also breed quickly, so a small problem can quickly turn into a larger infestation.

For reliable rodent control, trust the specialists at Wave Pest Services. Our rodent program includes trapping, exclusion work, weekly trap checks, and warranties—a lifetime warranty for general pest control clients and a 30-day warranty for others.

Spiders can be helpful around your property as natural predators that control other pest populations. However, it’s common for people to feel uneasy around them. In Arizona, you may encounter three main spider species: black widows, sun spiders, and wolf spiders. While all spiders possess venom and fangs, only the black widow is considered medically dangerous in Arizona. Although bites are rarely severe, seeking medical attention if bitten and monitoring any symptoms is always recommended.

Wave Pest Services offers comprehensive spider control and prevention services for residential and commercial properties. Our technicians apply treatments to reduce spider and prey pest populations and remove webs to discourage spiders from nesting on your property.

Stinging insects, including bees, wasps, hornets, and others, often build nests in inconvenient spots such as under eaves, decks, garbage cans, logs, and underground cavities. Despite being pests, these insects play an essential role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem by controlling other insect populations and aiding in pollination.

Some stinging insects are solitary, while others, such as wasps and certain types of bees, form large colonies that can become more aggressive and dangerous when disturbed, as they may swarm and sting. While a sting might only cause mild discomfort for most people, those with allergies can experience severe reactions.

Although small, termites can significantly impact homes and businesses, making them one of the most destructive pests. Feeding on cellulose materials found in wood, termites can cause significant structural damage if left untreated. In Apache Junction, dry wood and subterranean termites are common, so vigilance is essential.

Termites often go unnoticed until the damage is severe, but there are warning signs to look for:

• Mud Tubes: Subterranean termites construct mud tubes along foundations, walls, and other surfaces.
• Swarmers: Winged termites, or swarmers, indicate the presence of a mature colony nearby.
• Wood Damage: Infested wood may become weak and hollow, leading to sagging floors, buckling walls, and a hollow sound in timber.
• Discarded Wings: After swarming, termites shed their wings, often found in piles near windows, doors, or light sources.

Termites are more than a nuisance; they substantially threaten the structural stability of buildings, often resulting in costly repairs. Wave Pest Services provides thorough termite control services to safeguard your property from these damaging pests.

Birds can add natural beauty to our surroundings, but when they become pests, they present challenges for homeowners and businesses alike. In Apache Junction, with its abundance of bird species, effective bird control is crucial to prevent and manage potential issues.

Bird infestations can lead to various problems for property owners:

• Structural Damage: Bird droppings contain corrosive acids that, over time, can deteriorate building materials, resulting in costly repairs.
• Health Risks: Bird droppings may harbor harmful bacteria, fungi, and parasites, posing health risks such as respiratory infections and allergic reactions.
• Safety Hazards: Accumulated droppings on walkways and surfaces can become slippery, increasing the risk of slips and falls for residents and visitors.
