The city of Tucson is a great place to live. Temperate winters make it a much beloved city by those who do not wish to deal with snow and freezing temperatures. The annual Gem and Mineral Show is the largest of its kind in the world with nearly 50 locations throughout the town featuring many of the finest mineral specimens available. Tucson also boasts the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum that is a combined zoo, museum, and botanical garden. Visitors to the museum enjoy the native animals and plants of the Sonoran Desert. For those interested in the fine arts, there are professional and community theatres, orchestras and an opera company, as well as many local mariachi bands and other musical entertainment.

Because of its many benefits, over 500,000 people make Tucson their home. However, this population increases dramatically when one considers the unwanted pests that also find a home in Tucson. The climate that so many humans enjoy also provides the perfect environment for several insects and pests that are not always so friendly to humans and their habitats. For example, Tucson is home to several species of termites, most notably subterranean and drywood termites. Colonies of Africanized or “Killer” Honeybees have been found in Tucson and the surrounding areas. In addition, scorpions are not only found in the desert areas around Tucson, but inside residences and businesses, too. Because of its geography and climate, Tucson also provides a habitat friendly to tarantulas, black widow spiders, and rattlesnakes. Then, of course, there are also the run-of-the-mill cockroaches, crickets, and ants.

Even the greatest animal and insect enthusiasts do not want to deal with unexpected visits from these pests within their homes. These pests are either harmful to the infrastructures of the actual house or to the people and pets that reside there. Bites or stings from many of these pests can cause serious illness and sometimes even death. Because of this, Tucson residents will want to schedule regular visits from a professional exterminator. A professional exterminator will use state of the art equipment to control termites, bees, snakes, rodents, or whatever other pests are causing a problem in the home.

If you want to enjoy Tucson without sharing your home with the many pests that also live here, call an exterminator today to arrange for an examination of your house today. A professional exterminator can identify which species of pests are infesting your home, causing damage, or are present in your yard and can recommend a specific course of action. In addition, the exterminator will schedule regular visits to prevent any further infestations or difficulties.
