<h3> Howdy, friends and neighbors! 🎄</h3>As Christmas lights start twinklin’ and we tip our hats to the New Year just ‘round the bend, we’re takin’ a moment here at TRAIN STATION PEST ELIMINATION to thank y’all for makin’ our journey so special. Being part of the North Phoenix community fills our hearts with gratitude and purpose every single day.&nbsp;Now, it wouldn’t be Christmas without a little storytime, so let’s turn back the clock to see how folks celebrated the holidays in Arizona around the early 1900s. Back then, Phoenix was still a small desert town, but that didn’t stop folks from spreading holiday cheer.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-m21sxogvbsm4bvpny2"><img id="m21sxogvbsm4bvpny2" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/12t04EajrHouWNZQTpWzQgZeTO2gJoSka5WH56D3CFCducYOta4ibfXlOMyMuMcm.jpg" alt="Early 1900's train steam engine painted in red and green trim entering a train station" title="Early 1900's train steam engine painted in red and green trim entering a train station" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/12t04EajrHouWNZQTpWzQgZeTO2gJoSka5WH56D3CFCducYOta4ibfXlOMyMuMcm.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure><h3>Christmas in Territorial Arizona</h3>Picture this: a chilly December evening, neighbors gatherin’ at the town’s church or schoolhouse for a potluck supper. Families would bring what they could—from home-canned preserves to tamales wrapped in corn husks. The centerpiece? A mesquite or cedar tree adorned with candles (yep, actual candles!) and handmade ornaments crafted from scraps of fabric and paper.&nbsp;Railroads were brand-spankin’ new in Arizona back then, which meant Christmas gifts might include special treats like oranges or nuts shipped from California—a rare luxury. Kids, on the other hand, looked forward to peppermint sticks and homemade toys carved out of wood. Simple joys, sure, but they made for heartfelt celebrations under the desert stars.&nbsp;Fast forward to today, and while our traditions might look a bit different, one thing remains the same: Christmas is all about community, togetherness, and lending a hand to those who need it most.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-f1ism29qem4bvt56d"><img id="f1ism29qem4bvt56d" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/15v595NzUl3a6QuCljiqtGe4pJUk8yNmO3BypR0fnmcMYgPh3KaVSDQmYYKX1Kt3.png" alt="Gold Merry Christmas graphic on black backgrouns with various Christmas themed logo around the perimeter" title="Gold Merry Christmas graphic on black backgrouns with various Christmas themed logo around the perimeter" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/15v595NzUl3a6QuCljiqtGe4pJUk8yNmO3BypR0fnmcMYgPh3KaVSDQmYYKX1Kt3.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure><h3>Keeping the Holidays Bright and Pest-Free</h3>As we gather with loved ones, we know there’s a lot to juggle this time of year: decorating, cooking, hosting, and maybe even a little last-minute shopping. But don’t let the hustle and bustle distract you from an important detail—making sure your home is holiday-ready and critter-free!&nbsp;Winter pests like mice and spiders love sneakin’ inside when temperatures drop, lookin’ for warmth and a bite to eat.

A Train Station Christmas: Celebrating the Season in the Heart of the Desert

<h3>Howdy there, Phoenix neighbors!</h3>We know when folks hear the word “winter,” they’re thinkin’ of snow and cold weather. But out here in the desert, winter looks a little different—temps might cool down, but pests don’t pack up and leave. In fact, some of 'em get even sneakier, hidin' out and waitin' for a chance to cozy up inside your home.So, whether you’re thinkin' about startin’ pest control or wonderin' if you should keep it goin' through the cooler months, here’s why it’s essential—and how to figure out the best plan for your home.<figure id="figure-xr3bouunm3ujrisb"><img id="xr3bouunm3ujrisb" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/14y1km5ok73D6EuHjBkMdD3Hjnd01Vk4xMWMNqUsWj0seODIMTvkduBpSHriOiWv.jpg" alt="Snow covered Sonoran desert golf course in Gold Canyon, Arizona with hill homes in background" title="Snow covered Sonoran desert golf course in Gold Canyon, Arizona with hill homes in background" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/14y1km5ok73D6EuHjBkMdD3Hjnd01Vk4xMWMNqUsWj0seODIMTvkduBpSHriOiWv.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Yep!

Our mild winters mean pests stay active year-round, and they’re always lookin' for a way to escape the desert chill.1. Scorpions Are Still Crawlin' Around Scorpions don’t hibernate like some critters. They’re slowin’ down, sure, but they’re still out there, lookin' for cracks, crevices, and cozy spots to hide. And guess what? Your warm home looks mighty inviting to them.2. Rodents on the Run Cooler temperatures bring rodents out of the woodwork, especially in established communities with lots of places to nest. Roof rats and mice will be on the lookout for shelter, and if your home’s not protected, they could settle in for the season.3. Spiders and Bugs Seek Warmth Spiders, ants, and even cockroaches tend to move indoors once it gets cool outside. They’re lookin’ for warmth, water, and food—and your home is a prime spot for them. Without ongoing pest control, you might find yourself sharing your space with more eight-legged visitors than you’d like.<figure id="figure-myq4h0l9hmm3ujvr1r"><img id="myq4h0l9hmm3ujvr1r" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1447011789/photo/low-clouds-over-sonoran-desert-mountains-after-winter-rainstorm.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=qJldsKoRzgtz7s2u730MwPOwvBdKID6Bq9laoIaV0i8=" alt="Low clouds over sonoran desert mountains after winter rainstorm" title="Low clouds over sonoran desert mountains after winter rainstorm" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1447011789/photo/low-clouds-over-sonoran-desert-mountains-after-winter-rainstorm.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=qJldsKoRzgtz7s2u730MwPOwvBdKID6Bq9laoIaV0i8=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure><h3>Choosing the Right Pest Control Plan</h3>Now that you know why pest control in winter is crucial, the next question is: how often do you need it? Monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly? Well, partner, it depends on a few factors, and we’re here to help you figure it out.1. The Area You Live In Pest activity can vary based on where you are in Phoenix. If you live near open desert spaces, scorpion activity is likely to be higher, and you’ll probably want monthly or bi-monthly service to stay ahead of 'em. On the other hand, if you’re in a more citified area, you might be able to get away with quarterly service—but you still want to be on guard for those sneaky critters.2. New Build vs. Established Communities In newer neighborhoods, construction can stir up pests like scorpions, rodents, and termites, pushin’ 'em out and lookin' for new places to settle. If you’re in a new build community, monthly or bi-monthly service is usually the best bet to keep critters under control from the get-go.Established neighborhoods, on the other hand, often come with their own pest problems. Rodents are more likely to make a home in older houses, and scorpions love hangin' out in mature landscaping. We’d recommend talkin' with us to determine whether bi-monthly or quarterly service will keep your home pest-free year-round.3. Ask the Right Questions When deciding on your pest control plan, don’t be afraid to ask your pest control provider a few key questions:<ul><li>How often do you treat homes in my neighborhood?</li><li>What pests are most common in my area during the cooler months?</li><li>Do you offer flexible service plans if my needs change over time? </li></ul>At TRAIN STATION PEST ELIMINATION, we’re always ready to have an honest conversation about what’ll work best for you. We know the Phoenix desert inside and out, and we’ve got years of experience keepin' homes safe from all sorts of pests—whether they’re scurrying inside during the winter or campin' out in your yard.<figure id="figure-3tnjs4pogim3uk8kp4"><img id="3tnjs4pogim3uk8kp4" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2f1Pqn8qP42agDpRJFWZV4wSXwdB0j4cz0fhms8hp7NLNNyAeoVeRpbWDM76HMyV.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2f1Pqn8qP42agDpRJFWZV4wSXwdB0j4cz0fhms8hp7NLNNyAeoVeRpbWDM76HMyV.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure>Only 4 days later, freshly manicured golf course, sand traps &amp; pond.

Do I Need Pest Control during the Cooler Winter Season in Phoenix, Arizona?

<h3>Howdy, partners!</h3>Whether you're livin’ the good life in an RV, cozied up in a tiny home, or rollin’ in a mobile coach, it’s mighty important to keep those pesky critters at bay. Ain’t nothin’ worse than settlin’ in for the night only to find you’re not alone! At TRAIN STATION PEST ELIMINATION, we’re here to help you wrangle those pests, so you can enjoy your home on wheels or your snug little haven with a hitch.<h3>Why Pest Control Matters for Your Unique Home</h3>Living in an RV, tiny home, or mobile dwelling has its perks, but these spaces can attract all sorts of unwelcome guests, from ants and spiders to scorpions. Here’s why pest control is key:<ul><li>Limited Space: The cozy confines of these homes mean pests can invade quickly and easily, making it essential to keep ‘em out from the get-go. </li><li>Transport Risks: If you’re movin’ around often, pests can hitch a ride, settlin’ in when you least expect it. Regular pest inspections can catch these pests before they make themselves at home. </li><li>Storage Concerns: For those of you who own long-term storage facilities, pests can find a way into RVs and tiny homes parked nearby. Keepin’ your storage areas pest-free protects your customers’ belongings and maintains your business reputation. </li><li>Wiring Woes: When mobile homes are stored, they can be particularly vulnerable to rodents, like rats. These critters have a knack for chew-in’ through wiring, which can lead to costly repairs and safety hazards. Preventing infestations is crucial to avoid potential fire risks and electrical issues that can arise from damaged wires</li></ul><blockquote>TRAIN STATION PEST ELIMINATION <a data-mce-href="https://trainstationpestelimination.com/pest-services" href="https://trainstationpestelimination.com/pest-services" title="Pest Services">We take 'em to the Train Station</a> (480) 316-5612</blockquote><figure id="figure-wllj9s6dum2i0noxf"><img id="wllj9s6dum2i0noxf" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1763126238/photo/family-vacation-travel-rv-holiday-trip-in-motorhome-caravan-car-vacation.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=HpCXE_mfBWz92wInBbkFCyNyRMjyXqdP1t7RfQDwYzE=" alt="Family vacation travel RV, holiday trip in motorhome, Caravan car Vacation." title="Family vacation travel RV, holiday trip in motorhome, Caravan car Vacation." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1763126238/photo/family-vacation-travel-rv-holiday-trip-in-motorhome-caravan-car-vacation.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=HpCXE_mfBWz92wInBbkFCyNyRMjyXqdP1t7RfQDwYzE=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure><h3>How Train Station Pest Elimination Can Help</h3>We’re not just your ordinary pest control service; we’re your local, hands-on, veteran-owned team dedicated to ridin’ out any pest issues you face.
