Student Housing, Historic Homes, & Tempe's Unique Pest Risks
Tempe's pest challenges stem from the city's character. With thousands of students moving in and out of rentals near campus every year, pests like bed bugs and roaches can easily hitchhike in luggage, used furniture, and shared laundry facilities, spreading quickly through tightly packed housing. That same constant turnover means a problem in one unit rarely stays contained there for long.
Older neighborhoods add a different layer of risk. Areas like Maple-Ash, home to some of Tempe's oldest housing stock, were built long before modern sealing standards existed, leaving aging foundations, crawlspaces, and roofline gaps far more vulnerable to rodents and insects than newer construction ever is. And across the city's apartment complexes and condo buildings, shared walls, plumbing lines, and electrical conduits give pests an easy path between units, so a single infestation can spread building-wide if it isn't addressed at the source.
We treat each of these situations differently because they require it. In student housing, we look beyond the unit that calls for service and inspect neighboring units to catch a spreading problem early. In historic homes, our technicians carefully seal the small, easy-to-miss gaps created by decades of settling, without compromising the property's character. And in apartment complexes and condo buildings, our multi-family protocols include adjacent-unit inspections and shared-wall barriers, cutting off the hidden pathways pests use to move between floors before an issue becomes building-wide.
