Most everyone enjoy the rains that come to Arizona this time of year, but with the good comes the bad.

 

Monsoons tend to whip up dust into the air. It also can bring down all that pollen floating in the air.

Monsoons can also bring in heavy rains and wind, almost cyclonic in nature.

And depending on your thoughts – termites. Termites consume a lot of wood including cactus and other fallen material. They also don’t know the difference between your house and wood in general.

 

So keep an eye on your property and if you see something like the photo below, it might be time to give ProBest Pest Management a call at 480-831-9328 or 623-414-0176

I visit a website http://www.rainlog.org and it is amazing at what you can find. Notice this little rainfall day we had in Arizona on November 22, 2013 – notice 2.70 inches at the 101 and Thunderbird Road area. Click on the map and see if you can find this area.

Termites and bugs in general all need water, but termites in Arizona become active after rainfall activity. The other reason for sharing this information is that this website is good for every area in the U.S. Another reason to use this site, is after a treatment for scorpions and you can judge effectiveness of the pesticide you are using.
