How Rain Affects Your Pest Control Phoenix – Mesa AZ
Pest Control & Rain
Most people think their pest control barrier is being washed away with normal rain or sprinkler watering. However, once your pest control barrier dries normal rain or sprinkler water has little effect on it!
As product applications dry they bind to the surface they were applied to helping them stay in place and active for about a month! PLUS granular products used in grassy or rocked areas are made to be active with watering making them more effective!
Professional Scorpion & pest control products are made to stand up to regular wear and tear by sprinklers, mopping, and normal rain. Plus granular products applied by pest control professionals around your yard actually become MORE effective after getting wet!

Guaranteed Pest Control – No Matter The Weather!
We usually get some crazy weather a couple times a year in the Phoenix Valley that have the potential to disrupt even the most effective pest control. Despite every best effort with top notch products and thorough pest control applications monsoon floods and intense dust storms have the potential to cause an increase of pests.
There’s nothing like desert rain… From cooler temperatures to the unique smell, we cherish desert rain and so do pests! Pests benefit from the rain and landscape watering too. Scorpions and all desert insects need moisture to thrive, and they get a nice big dose during monsoon season and from over watering.
Large dust storms in the Phoenix Valley can completely COVER pest control barriers with dirt, and Monsoon rains can actually FLOOD OUT treated yards – Giving pests the MOISTURE they thrive in and diluting previous pest control treatments.
Have no fear! Here at Responsible Pest Control, customer satisfaction is our highest priority! If you ever get any bug invasion between your regular pest control services, FOR ANY REASON, please give us a quick jingle, text or email and consider it done. We’ll schedule you for a FREE re-treat right away at NO COST to you!

- Don’t put wood trellises on exterior walls.
- Trim bushes and greenery away from the foundation of your home.
- Move mulch away from the foundation.
- Repair leaking faucets and water lines inside and outside.
- Remove infested trees and stumps.
- Never bury any type of wood, or wood products, in your yard.
- Keep mulch, wood debris, scrap lumber, sawdust and firewood away from your home. If you do keep firewood outside your house during the winter, keep it raised and off the ground.
- MOST IMPORTANTLY: MAKE SURE there is NO wood (or home) contact with the SOIL! Wood siding, STUCCO and foam board should be six inches away from the ground.
- Seal all cracks in your home’s foundation, they can provide a handy access point for termites.
- Have a professional PREVENTIVE Termite Control Treatment! Most home construction started with a pre-treatment for Termites. Termite pretreatments CAN last up to 5 years. However, Termite pressure is very high in Greater Phoenix, so we recommend a Termite Treatment every 5 years thereafter.
