Arizona Bugs in Your House: Pest ID Guides for Phoenix-Area Homes
Found something in the house? Pick the bug below. Each guide gives the plain answer first, how to tell what you have, the signs of an infestation and what to do tonight, with University of Arizona and state health sources.
Which Arizona Bugs Matter Most in Phoenix-Area Homes
Arizona has hundreds of insects, but only a handful send Valley homeowners looking for help: bark scorpions in block walls and bathrooms, black widows and other spiders in garages and patios, American and German cockroaches, crickets that draw scorpions in, roof rats in citrus and attics, termites in slab homes, and bed bugs and brown dog ticks that move in with people and pets. Find yours below, then use the matching service page if you'd rather have it handled.
If someone has been stung or bitten and you're worried, call the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center at 1-800-222-1222.
