What’s out, and when.
Tucson pests keep a calendar. This one comes from thirty years of our own service calls.
Bark scorpions
JFMAMJJASOND
April to October, worst in June, July and August. They come in at night, looking for water.
Termite swarms
JFMAMJJASOND
The evening after the first monsoon rain. Termites eat all year; this is when you see them.
Ants
JFMAMJJASOND
March to October. Fire ants and harvester ants in the yard, sugar ants in the kitchen.
Bees and wasps
JFMAMJJASOND
Bee swarms in spring, paper wasps under the eaves all summer.
Roof rats
JFMAMJJASOND
October to March, when citrus is on the trees and nights get cold.

Scorpions need more than a spray.
Bark scorpions hide in block walls and gravel, and they can climb stucco. Spraying alone won’t stop them, so a scorpion visit covers four things.
- A blacklight checkScorpions glow under UV. On summer visits we walk the yard at dusk and remove what we find.
- Where they get inDoor sweeps, weep screeds, pipe gaps. You get a list, and we seal the small ones on the spot.
- Walls and edgesWe treat block walls, gravel borders and the base of the house, where they shelter by day.
- Glue boards insideIn the garage and closets, so we can see if any still get in.
Kids and pets live here too.
We treat outside first and inside only where we find activity. Here’s what that means on the day.
- Kids and pets stay off treated areas until dry, about 30 minutes
- Water bowls, toys and fish tanks covered or moved first
- Baits go in locked stations or places pets can’t reach
- No spraying near vegetable beds or chicken coops
- Every product named on your service note, labels on request
“If it comes back between visits, so do we. That’s been the rule since my dad’s first truck.”
Renee Moore runs Ledesma Pest Control, the company her father Walt started with one truck in 1996. Her son Isaiah is on the road now, the third Moore to do the job.
From customers.
We found two scorpions in the kids’ room the week we moved in. After the first visit and the walls sealed, we’ve seen one in a year, dead on a glue board in the garage.
Paula R. Our buyer’s report found termites in the garage three weeks before closing. They treated it two days later and the warranty went to the new owners.
Dwayne and Kim T. Two dogs and a toddler, so I asked a lot of questions. They answered all of them, kept everyone inside for half an hour and left a note with every product.
