Afternnon, folks,

June is here, and that pool in North Glendale and Peoria is a lifeline! But your oasis attracts more than just swimmers. The pool, combined with extreme heat, creates a unique pest problem right in your backyard. We're talking about mosquitoes, water bugs, and the dry-loving pests that hide in the pool's periphery.

The Three Worst Poolside Party Crashers

    1. Mosquitoes: They breed in tiny pockets of standing water (pool toys, clogged drains, plant saucers)—not the chlorinated pool itself.

    2. Water Bugs (The Swimmers): Attracted to pool lights at night and can deliver a painful bite.

    3.  Arizona Bark Scorpions: They are often found hiding in the **slight moisture, shade, and warmth** provided by pool equipment pads, block walls, and decks.

Did You Know?

Arizona is home to three native species of rattlesnake, including the Western Diamondback. Since rattlesnakes seek refuge in cool, dark spots during the extreme heat, keeping your pool equipment area clear of debris is a vital safety measure.
