Yes, our safety-conscious Field Experts provide pet-friendly and family-friendly treatments. We will review any instructions with you, and we ask that children and pets stay away from treated areas until everything is fully dry. Outdoor drying time is typically about 30 minutes, depending on weather, and indoor drying time is usually 1 to 3 hours, depending on airflow. If you have fish tanks, bird cages, or terrariums, we may recommend a few extra precautions.

Peoria’s desert location and warm weather support a variety of pests throughout the year. Scorpions are often encountered near foundations, rock beds, and shaded outdoor spaces because they hunt insects and seek cooler shelter during the day. Ants and cockroaches are drawn to kitchens and bathrooms where food and moisture are available. 

Spiders are frequently found in garages, sheds, and corners where other insects congregate. Rodents such as roof rats and house mice may move indoors to escape extreme heat or cooler seasons. 

Termites can be active year-round in warm climates, especially around moisture sources, and mosquitoes become more noticeable following monsoon rains and standing water. Moxie’s general pest service is designed to target many common pests during every visit.

Store-bought pest products may help reduce the pests you see in the moment, but they rarely address the underlying conditions that allow pests to enter or hide. Many pests remain in wall voids, attics, crawl spaces, and outdoor harborage areas. Without finding and sealing entry points, removing harborage, and applying targeted treatments, pests often return. 

Moxie’s Field Experts conduct professional inspections to identify problem areas, apply treatments in the spaces pests live and travel, and provide ongoing plans that help reduce pest activity more reliably than DIY methods alone.

Yes, we offer monthly mosquito fogging services during peak mosquito season. While Peoria’s desert climate is dry, mosquito populations increase when moisture is present. Standing water after monsoon storms, irrigation runoff, and shaded yard areas can create breeding sites for mosquitoes. Mosquito activity typically rises in late spring through early fall when humidity and rainfall are highest. Our local Field Experts return regularly throughout the season to reapply treatments and focus on areas where mosquitoes rest and gather, helping reduce activity in your outdoor spaces.

German cockroaches are commonly found indoors, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms where food and moisture are available. American cockroaches are also present in Peoria and may move inside through sewer systems, drains, and utility openings. Oriental cockroaches and brown-banded cockroaches may also be encountered in dark, moist areas. 

Local Field Experts accurately identify the species present, locate harborage areas, and apply targeted treatments to help reduce populations and discourage future activity.

Peoria’s hot summers and mild winters influence when and how pests show up. During the hottest months, pests such as scorpions, ants, cockroaches, and rodents may seek cooler, sheltered spots indoors or near foundations as they search for food and moisture. Seasonal monsoon rains create temporary moisture and standing water that encourage mosquito breeding and increase ant activity. 

Mild winter temperatures also allow pests like ants, cockroaches, rodents, and termites to remain active throughout the year that would otherwise slow down in cooler climates. Moxie’s Field Experts understand these seasonal shifts and adjust treatment strategies to address pest behavior changes in Peoria homes.

Seasonal changes play a significant role in pest activity. In spring, rising temperatures and increased moisture draw pests such as ants, termites, scorpions, and rodents out of winter hiding spots to search for food and shelter. 

Summer heat often pushes pests like scorpions and cockroaches to seek cooler indoor areas. The monsoon season brings spikes in mosquito and ant activity as standing water provides breeding sites and moist harborage. 

In fall, pests such as spiders and crickets may move indoors to escape changing temperatures. During winter, insects slow down, but rodents like roof rats and house mice remain active as they find shelter and warmth in attics, wall voids, and garages. Moxie’s Field Experts tailor treatment plans throughout the year to respond to these shifting seasonal pressures.

Seeing more pests right after your first service is expected, and it often indicates the treatment is working. The first visit disturbs pests in the places they hide, which can cause them to come out into the open. After a follow-up service, you should notice a sharp drop in activity. If pests are active between scheduled visits, customers on our year-round plan can request a free warranty reservice.
