Bark scorpions inside the house
Weep holes, door sweeps, and 1/16-inch gaps let scorpions in. A perimeter spray alone will not stop them.

What Tempe Homes Deal With
Pest Problems in Tempe? We're Ready to Help
Sonoran Desert pests behave differently from anywhere else. What works in a coastal city fails here. This is what we hear from homeowners every week — and how we solve it.
Termite mud tubes on the foundation
Subterranean termites hide inside slab expansion joints. By the time you see damage, the colony has been there for months.
Roof rats in the attic
Roof-line gaps, palm-tree ladders, and utility penetrations open a whole rodent superhighway into your ceiling.
Pests coming back after a single spray
Phoenix's seasonal pressure — spring scorpions, monsoon crickets, winter rodents — needs a plan, not one visit.
Tempe Services
Our Services for Homes and Rentals
Every property is different, so we quote each one after inspecting it. These are the core services we treat most in the area.
How It Works
How It Works in 4 Steps
1
Free inspection
A licensed tech walks the property — inside, outside, attic, foundation. We identify pests, entry points, and harborage.
2
Upfront quote
You get a written quote with the treatment plan, timing, and what is included. No pressure, no surprise add-ons.
3
Targeted treatment
We treat harborage and entry points directly, not blanket sprays in living spaces. Kids and pets clear the area only until dry.
4
Ongoing prevention
Monthly or quarterly visits keep pressure down through Phoenix seasons. Re-service is included between visits if needed.

Real reviews from Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, and across the Valley.
"Same-week appointment in Tempe, quick inspection, and an upfront quote. The tech explained exactly what he was doing and why."
"We've worked with three pest companies in the Tempe area. Desert Shield is the only one that actually seals entry points instead of just spraying."
"We had bark scorpions showing up every summer. Desert Shield sealed the weep holes and treated the block walls, and the difference was night and day."
Local Context
Our Tempe Service and Local Expertise
Tempe's older near-university housing stock and dense rentals, combined with canal- and irrigation-adjacent moisture along the Kyrene and McClintock corridors, drive elevated cockroach and rodent pressure. German cockroaches establish quickly in multi-unit buildings near ASU, while roof rats use palm trees and utility lines as access routes into attics.
The Arizona Canal running east-west through the city sustains year-round ground moisture that supports subterranean termite colonies in mature landscaped lots. Properties near Papago Park also face scorpion pressure from the desert-edge terrain. We coordinate landlord and tenant scheduling so treatment fits around lease agreements and access requirements.

Tempe FAQ
Common Tempe Pest Control Questions
How quickly can you service rental properties near ASU?
Properties near ASU and the Mill Avenue corridor are on regular routes. Same-week scheduling is standard, and we accommodate landlord and tenant scheduling when access needs coordinating between multiple parties.
Do you treat cockroach problems in canal-adjacent Tempe neighborhoods?
Yes. The Arizona Canal system running through Tempe sustains German and American cockroach populations in sewer and irrigation infrastructure year-round. We treat harborage and entry points in older housing along the Rural Road, Kyrene, and McClintock corridors.
Can you work with both landlords and tenants for pest service scheduling?
We coordinate directly with whichever party needs the service, whether that's a landlord, property manager, or tenant. We've handled rental scheduling in South Tempe and along the Rural Road corridor for years and are used to multi-party access arrangements.
