Yes, our safety-conscious Field Experts provide treatments that are pet- and family-friendly when applied as directed. We will walk you through what to expect and inform you about re-entry times, since products need time to settle and fully dry to help minimize contact. As a general guideline, keep children and pets away from treated areas until they are completely dry, which is typically about 30 minutes outdoors depending on weather, and 1 to 3 hours indoors based on airflow and ventilation. If you have fish tanks, bird cages, or terrariums, we can recommend a few extra precautions before service.

Goodyear’s warm desert conditions can support pest activity throughout the year, especially where homes provide moisture, shade, and easy access to food. Homeowners in Goodyear most often ask us about scorpions, cockroaches, ants, spiders, and rodents. 

Scorpions can get inside through small gaps and may turn up in garages, wall voids, and storage areas. Ants and cockroaches are often drawn to kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms because steady moisture and small crumbs can be enough to keep activity going. 

Spiders tend to settle where they find low-traffic corners and plenty of other insects, like garages, covered patios, and eaves. Rodents may move closer to homes during extreme heat or cooler winter nights, since attics and wall voids offer shelter and stable temperatures. 

Our pest control service is designed to address these patterns during every visit, while also helping you reduce the conditions that keep pests active.

DIY pest control can sometimes help with the pests you see in the moment, but store-bought sprays and traps rarely address the bigger “why” behind the activity. Many pests stay in hidden spaces, such as wall voids, attic corners, and cracks near plumbing lines, and they keep showing up if food, moisture, and entry points are still available. It is also easy to treat the wrong place when the pest species is not correctly identified, since different pests prefer different hiding spots and conditions.

Moxie’s licensed Field Experts take a more complete approach. We start with inspection and identification, help you understand what is attracting activity in the first place, and target the areas where pests hide and travel. With regular visits and adjustments over time, professional pest control is built to create long-term improvement that is difficult to replicate with retail products alone.

Yes, we offer monthly mosquito fogging services during peak mosquito season. Even in Goodyear’s desert climate, mosquitoes can still show up when moisture is available, due to irrigation run-off, overwatered turf, clogged gutters, and any container that holds water after summer storms. Mosquitoes do not need much water to reproduce, so prevention often comes down to removing small water sources and reducing the shaded, humid resting areas they prefer.

Mosquito activity in the West Valley often increases during Arizona’s monsoon period, when humidity rises and summer storms create more opportunities for standing water. Our local Field Experts return regularly to reapply treatments and focus on the spots where mosquitoes rest and gather, helping reduce activity across the season.

German cockroaches are a common indoor roach in Goodyear and are often found near kitchens and bathrooms where moisture and food residues are easiest to access. American cockroaches, sometimes called “sewer roaches,” can also be encountered and may enter through drain systems and other damp access points. Other species, such as the brown-banded cockroach, can show up in drier, higher areas like cabinets, closets, and behind wall décor.

Because different cockroaches hide in different places, Moxie’s local Field Experts start by identifying the species and locating the harborage areas. From there, we apply targeted treatments and recommend simple prevention steps, like sealing small openings, so cockroaches have fewer places to settle in.

Goodyear’s desert climate strongly influences when pests are most active and where they are most likely to show up around your home. During long, hot stretches, many pests shift toward cooler, more humid microclimates, which can include garages, shaded sides of the home, utility chases, and air-conditioned interiors. That is why homeowners sometimes notice more ant, roach, and scorpion activity during intense summer heat, even if the yard looks dry.

Arizona’s monsoon period can bring higher humidity and sudden rainfall, which can increase pest activity by creating temporary water sources and improving outdoor conditions for reproduction and foraging. 

Our Field Experts understand these seasonal patterns and adjust treatment strategies throughout the year to address shifting pest behavior.

Goodyear’s desert seasons influence which pests are most active throughout the year. In spring, rising temperatures often increase ant and wasp activity as colonies expand and nesting picks up. Summer heat can drive scorpions, cockroaches, and rodents closer to homes, especially where shade and moisture are available. Monsoon humidity can also contribute to increased mosquito activity and termite swarms. 

In fall, dropping nighttime temperatures can push spiders and crickets toward garages, entry points, and covered patios. During winter, while many insects slow down, rodents can become more noticeable as they seek shelter in attics, garages, and wall voids.

Our Field Experts adjust treatments based on what is happening at your home right now, then we keep refining the plan as conditions change through the year.

An increase in pest activity right after the first treatment can be expected and is often a sign the treatment is working. The initial service can disrupt hiding spaces and pressure areas, which can cause pests to move around more visibly. After a follow-up treatment, you can typically expect a sharper decline. If you notice pests are active between scheduled visits, Moxie offers free warranty reservice visits to customers on our year-round plan.
