Monsoon season is here, and with it comes the thrill of dramatic storms and the risk of unwanted visitors in our homes. As Metro Phoenix residents, we need to be aware of the types of pests and wildlife that may seek shelter in our properties during this time.
- Scorpions: These venomous arachnids seek shelter in cool, dark spaces and can pose a threat to our families and pets.
- Spiders: Black widows, brown recluses, and tarantulas may invade our homes, bringing anxiety and potential health risks.
- Rats and Mice: Heavy rainfall can drive these rodents into our homes, contaminating food and surfaces with their urine and feces.
- Snakes: Monsoon storms can displace snakes from their natural habitats, leading them to seek shelter in our homes, garages, or yards.
- Bats: Strong winds can damage roofs, allowing bats to roost in our attics, potentially exposing us to histoplasmosis and rabies.
- Raccoons: These curious critters may raid our trash cans or pet food, spreading diseases like distemper and rabies.
- Coyotes: Monsoon storms can displace coyotes, leading them to venture closer to our homes in search of food.
