Common Pests in Broadmor

Tempe's desert climate and proximity to undeveloped land creates year-round pest pressure for Broadmor residents. Bark scorpions are the primary concern — they're venomous and common throughout Pinal and Maricopa counties. Regular professional treatment is the most reliable way to keep your home protected.

Local Pest Facts

• Broadmor's older homes often have aging seals around doors, windows, and utility penetrations — common entry points for bark scorpions and cockroaches that should be inspected and resealed regularly.
• The neighborhood's mature tree canopy — including citrus and palms — provides ideal roof rat habitat and travel routes between properties and rooftops.
• Broadmor's mid-century construction means many homes have original weatherstripping and door seals that no longer provide an effective barrier against scorpions and cockroaches.
