Yes, our safety-conscious Field Experts provide treatments that are pet- and family-friendly. We ask that you follow any instructions from our team and keep children and pets away from treated areas until they’re completely dry. Outdoor areas typically dry in about 30 minutes, depending on the weather. Indoor areas typically dry in 1 to 3 hours, based on airflow and ventilation. We might also suggest a few extra precautions if you have fish tanks, bird cages, or terrariums.

Chandler’s warm, desert environment creates ideal conditions for pests like scorpions, cockroaches, ants, spiders, and rodents. 

• Scorpions often slip indoors through small openings like foundation gaps, usually while searching for moisture or following insect activity around garages and exterior walls. 
• Ants and cockroaches are drawn to kitchens and bathrooms for crumbs and moisture, especially during long dry stretches when water is harder to find outdoors. 
• Spiders tend to settle in garages and tucked-away corners because those spaces stay quiet and offer steady prey. 
• Rodents may move inside to avoid extreme heat or cooler winter nights, then stay once they find shelter and easy access to stored food.

Because these patterns shift throughout the year, Moxie’s pest control service is designed to address common Chandler pests during every visit.

While you can attempt DIY pest control, most store-bought sprays and traps only deal with the pests you can see. Many insects, rodents, and other pests remain hidden, continuing to multiply and cause damage from behind the scenes. That’s one reason pest problems can seem to disappear for a few days, then come right back. If the nest site, breeding area, or entry point is not addressed, the activity usually continues.

Moxie’s licensed Field Experts can locate nests, apply targeted treatments, and create a plan to help keep pests from returning. With regular visits and expert strategies, professional pest control offers long-term results that are difficult to achieve with retail products alone, especially in central Arizona where pest pressure can stay steady for much of the year.

Yes, we offer monthly mosquito fogging services during peak mosquito season. Even in Chandler’s dry desert climate, mosquitoes can still thrive when moisture is present. Lawn watering, shaded landscaping, standing water, and humid conditions following monsoon rains can all contribute to increased mosquito activity around homes.

Mosquito activity in the East Valley typically increases from late June through September, when seasonal rainfall creates favorable breeding conditions. Our local Field Experts return regularly to reapply treatments and focus on areas where mosquitoes rest and gather, helping reduce activity throughout the season. Consistent service matters because mosquito life cycles move fast, and new activity can appear quickly after rain or heavy watering.

German cockroaches are a common indoor roach in Chandler and are often found in kitchens and bathrooms where food and moisture are available. American cockroaches, sometimes called “sewer roaches,” are also encountered in the Chandler area and may enter homes through sewer systems and drains. Other species, such as the brown-banded cockroach, can also be found inside homes, often in drier, higher areas like cabinets, closets, and behind wall décor.

Cockroaches do not all behave the same way. Where they hide, how they move, and what attracts them can change based on the species, the season, and the moisture levels around your home. Moxie’s local Field Experts are trained to identify the species, locate harborage areas, and apply targeted treatments to help reduce populations and limit future activity.

Central Arizona’s desert climate plays a big role in when and where pests show up. During the summer, extreme heat and dry conditions often drive pests like scorpions, ants, and cockroaches indoors as they search for cooler, more humid environments. Air-conditioned homes, especially those with leaky pipes, damp cabinets, or shaded exterior walls, can become ideal hiding spots because they offer stable temperatures and reliable moisture. At the same time, irrigation systems and dense landscaping can create humid pockets outdoors that support insects, which then draws predators like spiders and scorpions closer to the home.

In contrast, the monsoon season brings a sudden spike in moisture and humidity, which can trigger increased breeding activity for pests like mosquitoes, termites, and ants. Our Field Experts understand these seasonal patterns and adjust treatment strategies throughout the year to address shifting pest behavior.

Chandler’s distinct desert seasons influence which pests are most active throughout the year. In spring, rising temperatures lead to an increase in ants and wasps, which become more active as they forage and build nests around eaves, patios, and landscaping. Summer brings intense heat, pushing scorpions, cockroaches, and rodents to seek shelter inside cooler homes. 

The added humidity from monsoon storms can also trigger termite swarms and increased mosquito activity, since moisture speeds up breeding cycles and creates more opportunities for pests to spread.

In fall, pests like spiders and crickets often move indoors to escape dropping nighttime temperatures, especially into garages, storage areas, and wall voids. During winter, while many pests slow down, roof rats and mice become more noticeable as they nest in attics, garages, and wall voids where warmth and shelter are easier to find. 

Each season requires a unique pest control approach, and our Field Experts adjust treatments accordingly to help keep your home comfortable year-round.

It’s normal to see more pest activity right after your first service, and it is a sign that the treatment is working. The initial treatment disrupts pests and sends them moving from their hiding spaces and out into the open. After a follow-up treatment, you can expect to see a sharp decline in activity. If you notice that pests are active between scheduled visits, Moxie offers free warranty reservice visits to customers on our year-round plan.
