At Bug & Weed Mart, we’ve helped Arizona homeowners prevent weeds for decades. Here’s everything you need to know about how pre-emergents work, the products we recommend, and why applying now can give you six months or more of protection.

In Gilbert, Arizona, the most common species you’ll run into is the Arizona Bark Scorpion, small, pale, and excellent at climbing the block walls and rocky landscaping most homes here use. They sneak in looking for food, water, and a cozy place to hide.

Your gardens can attract mosquitoes and gnats; you already know this if you live in Arizona. And it is hard for you to sit in your own backyard between the bites, buzzing, and itchy evenings.

The holiday season means more time with family and friends entertaining, which means more eyes on your home. While you’re busy planning gatherings and decorating, don’t forget about your outdoor spaces. As you are planning menus and sprucing up the guest room, remember to check your DIY pest control supplies.

October is here, and while your yard may look calm now, don’t let it fool you. The real weed problem arrives in February and March when the weather begins to warm.

Scorpions are highly flexible creatures, but their activity and survival are closely related to the climate around them. These are associated with hot, arid deserts; they can thrive in a variety of places, from semi-arid grasslands to subtropical regions, provided the surrounding environment meets their needs.
