Mornin' Folks, 

It’s March, and the weather out here in North Phoenix, Peoria and Glendale is calling for adventure! Time to dust off the old RV and plan that first trip out. But hold your horses, partner. Before you roll out, you need to conduct a thorough pre-hitch inspection for unwelcome passengers—namely the little stowaways who found your RV or garage a perfect winter home.

The Garage and RV: A Winter Hotel for Pests

Your garage and RV are quiet, dark, and full of nesting materials. They are prime real estate for the nastiest desert pests:

    1. Pack Rats (The Desert Hoarders): Notorious for nesting in RV engine compartments and chewing expensive wires—a serious threat to your motor vehicle investment.

    2. Black Widows: They love the dark corners of the garage and the hidden spots in your exterior RV storage compartments.

    3. Arizona Bark Scorpions: As the days warm, they start moving and often get trapped in garages, hiding in shoes or under tools.
