Standing water outside of your home can be a major attractant to bugs and pests, especially as the weather begins to heat up. This is especially true in Mesa, AZ, where bugs come out earlier and stay later in the year than they do in other areas. When pests see water readily available, they are more likely to stick around. They can make this their home as they know they’ll have a source of water readily available.

Should You Get Rid of Standing Water?

Yes! Stagnant water can be home to dangerous bacteria and can attract pests throughout the year as well. While it might take some time to get rid of the water around your home, it’s incredibly important. The work is worth it when you are able to prevent pests from coming to your property and staying there.
