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.
Starting at $45 /mo · no contracts · free re-service
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 why mosquito reduction is handled seasonally.
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.
Roof rats under the maple-ash canopy
The mature citrus and shade trees that make Maple-Ash and the historic core beautiful double as roof-rat highways. They run branches and power lines at night, strip fruit, and slip into older attics through gaps the size of a quarter. Exclusion and sealing, not just bait, is what clears them.
Tempe's pest activity, by property type
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
Quarterly is $45–$65/month, Home Defense is $55–$75/month, and Monthly is $79–$99/month for homes up to 4,500 sq ft. Initial Defense is $149–$209 by home size. All three plans are billed monthly; scheduled visits are every three, two, or one calendar month, respectively. The Monthly plan provides monthly general-pest visits with scorpion-focused treatment matched to the property. Rodent Monitoring Protection, Mosquito Protection, and Termite Bait Protection are optional paid add-ons. Specialty treatments are separate; see the published starting prices on our plans page.
Roof rats in Tempe's mature core
Because the travel routes are overhead, trapping alone tends to underperform in Tempe. We inspect for the actual entry points, prune-and-seal recommendations included, and pair exclusion with monitoring so the next rat down the fence line does not just move into the same attic. Harvesting citrus promptly and cutting limbs off the roof does as much as any product.
Tempe Town Lake and the mosquito problem
On lakeside and canal-adjacent lots we treat shaded resting areas, dense vegetation, and the low spots that hold water after irrigation, with separately quoted seasonal mosquito reduction running the warm months. The clear framing we give every Tempe customer: we make your yard usable, not the lake sterile.

Common questions
Do you charge more in Tempe?
No city surcharge applies. Quarterly is $45–$65/month, Home Defense is $55–$75/month, and Monthly is $79–$99/month for homes up to 4,500 sq ft. Initial Defense is $149–$209 by home size. All three plans are billed monthly; scheduled visits are every three, two, or one calendar month, respectively. The Monthly plan provides monthly general-pest visits with scorpion-focused treatment matched to the property. Rodent Monitoring Protection, Mosquito Protection, and Termite Bait Protection are optional paid add-ons. Specialty treatments are separate; see the published starting prices on our plans page.
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 clearly.
Can you reduce mosquitoes near Town Lake?
On your property, yes. We treat resting areas, vegetation, and standing-water hiding spots monthly from April through October as a seasonal mosquito add-on. The lake stays put; your patio gets usable. That is the clear trade.
I keep hearing something in the attic of my Maple-Ash house. Roof rats?
In Tempe's older tree-lined neighborhoods, that is the leading suspect. Roof rats are nocturnal, so dusk and pre-dawn scratching fits, and the mature canopy gives them overhead routes into older attics. We inspect, find the entry points, and quote exclusion and trapping before any work, rather than just dropping bait.
I own a rental near ASU. Can you inspect between tenants?
Yes, and turnover is the best possible time. An empty unit is the easiest to inspect and treat, and catching bed bugs or German roaches before the next tenant moves furniture in saves everyone a far bigger job. We document each visit for your records.
Do older Tempe homes need different treatment than the newer suburbs?
Yes. Maple-Ash and the historic core carry infrastructure pests, drain roaches, wall crickets, and roof rats under mature citrus, so we pay specific attention to drain access, foundation gaps, and the overhead routes an old house accumulates. It is a different job than a new tract on the edge of town, and we treat it that way.
