Arizona Blonde Tarantulas Have More Fun!

on May 30, 2023 in Spiders

Ok, maybe not – Arizona Blonde Tarantulas tend to be solitary and docile despite their terrifying looks. We found this little one in our front yard a few weeks ago. Desert tarantulas are notoriously difficult to identify with certainty, but we think its an Arizona Blonde Tarantula. (Other common names for them include the Mexican […]

Bee Nests – “BEE-ing” Bad Roommates

on April 4, 2023 in Bees

When the bees move in, they sometimes LITERALLY move in! We took this picture of a bee nest at a local mobile home club house recently. The bees got into the wall and built a huge new bee nest within it. Fortunately the park discovered it after hearing loud buzzing sounds in the area and […]

West Nile Virus, Mosquitoes, and You!

on November 3, 2021 in Mosquitoes, West Nile Virus

Our first draft of this post came after reports of the first death of West Nile in the Valley this year. In the short time since then, that count has risen to NINETEEN! An exceptionally high death rate in and of itself, according to a local news source we’ve also broken our previous record of […]

Termites In Arizona – ‘Tis the Season!

on September 1, 2016 in Termites

Termites in Arizona – it’s not a question of “If?” but “When?”. The monsoon season is almost done, but its effects are far from over. All of that moisture in recent weeks has laid the groundwork for termites to flourish. The soil is softer and more moist, making it easier for them to build tubes […]

Ants in the East Valley

on May 17, 2016 in Ants

Have you noticed the armies of ants coming out of hiding to share the beautiful warm weather with you and your family? Well, maybe not so much “share” as “eat your food and attack your ankles”. (No wonder they’re referred to as “armies”, right?) Aside from parks and picnic blankets, you’ve probably seen them marching […]

“Bee” Careful Out There, Phoenix!

on May 2, 2016 in Bees

Plants and trees are starting to come into full bloom, and they’re like a siren call to bees everywhere! The nectar from the blooming vegetation is a veritable cornucopia of food to them. As bee activity increases, so does the potential for aggression when they swarm to build and protect their hives and gather food. […]
