Pest Control in Tempe
Without the Runaround
Older housing stock, high-turnover rentals, and a lake in the middle of the desert. Tempe's pest profile is specific, and we treat it that way.

Tempe's housing stock in Maple-Ash and around the historic core dates back decades, which means established roach populations in aging drain lines, crickets in mature block walls, and rodent pressure under old canopy. Charm has a maintenance schedule.
Then there is the ASU effect: high-turnover student rentals move people and furniture every semester, and bed bugs travel with mattresses and couches. Add Tempe Town Lake and The Lakes generating real mosquito habitat, and Tempe's profile looks like nowhere else on our routes.
We service Tempe from our Gilbert home base. Plans from $35/mo, Shield+ at $45/mo, Max at $59/mo with monthly visits and mosquito treatment April through October. $99 initial visit, free re-services, licensed by the Arizona Office of Pest Management.
What Tempe homes deal with
Roaches in older housing stock
Tempe's older neighborhoods carry the Valley's classic roach load: big American roaches moving through aging sewer lines, and German roaches establishing in the kitchens of high-turnover rentals. Old infrastructure plus dense occupancy keeps the pressure constant.
Bed bugs in student housing
Every semester turnover moves used mattresses, couches, and luggage between units — and bed bugs ride along. Near-ASU rentals see the Valley's most consistent introductions. Early detection is everything: one inspection beats three failed DIY treatments.
Mosquitoes around Tempe Town Lake
Standing water in a desert is a mosquito magnet, and Town Lake, The Lakes, and over-irrigated common areas supply it from spring through fall — exactly the April-through-October window our Max plan treats.
Crickets and spiders in mature block walls
Decades-old block walls in Maple-Ash, Optimist Park, and Warner Ranch are full cricket habitat, and black widows colonize the weep holes where prey funnels. Wall-line treatment knocks down both at once.
Tempe's pest pressure, by property type
Owner-occupied older homes — Maple-Ash, Optimist Park — mostly fight infrastructure pests: drain roaches, wall crickets, the occasional roof rat under mature citrus. The fix is perimeter discipline plus sealing the legacy entry points old houses accumulate.
Rentals run a different race: every move-in is a potential introduction of German roaches or bed bugs, and small problems scale across units fast. For landlords, scheduled service is cheaper than turnover-day surprises. Waterside properties at The Lakes add mosquitoes on top — you treat the lot, not the lake.
How service works in Tempe
The $99 initial visit covers interior on request, full exterior perimeter, block-wall treatment, de-webbing, and granular in landscape zones. In older homes we pay specific attention to drain access points and foundation gaps; in rentals we flag the conditions that invite German roaches before they take hold.
Plans from there: Shield quarterly at $35/mo, Shield+ bi-monthly at $45/mo, Max monthly at $59/mo with mosquito treatments April through October — the obvious pick near the water. Bed bug work is inspected and quoted per job. Free re-services — call (480) 555-0199.

Questions, answered
Do you charge more in Tempe?
No. Same plan pricing everywhere we service — Shield $35/mo, Shield+ $45/mo, Max $59/mo, $99 initial visit. Rentals get the same rates as owner-occupied homes.
I manage rentals near ASU. Do you work with landlords?
Yes. We service multi-unit and single-family rentals, document every treatment, and can inspect at turnover — the highest-value moment to catch bed bugs and German roaches before a new lease starts.
How do I know if it is bed bugs and not something else?
Look for rust-colored spotting on seams, shed skins, and bites in lines or clusters — then call before tearing the room apart, which spreads them. We inspect, confirm or rule out, and quote honestly.
Can you actually reduce mosquitoes near Town Lake?
On your property, yes. We treat resting areas, vegetation, and standing-water harborage monthly from April through October on the Max plan. The lake stays put; your patio gets usable. That is the honest trade.
