Arizona desert pests — know what you're looking at
Our illustrated identification library for the Phoenix metro, organized the way our technicians think about desert pests — scorpions first. Tap any pest to expand its full profile: where it lives, when it's active, what it eats, what to watch for, and one thing worth knowing. This is a knowledge base, not just a service list — it also includes beneficial insects and desert wildlife Brock does not treat, each clearly marked as identification-only, so you can name what you saw even when the right answer is to leave it alone.
= Not covered — identification only.
A note on identification: many desert species look alike, and medically significant pests can't always be confirmed from appearance alone. When an ID matters, a technician confirms it in person before any treatment decision.
Seeing something you can't identify? Don't guess — call us and describe it, or note it on the contact form and we'll identify it at inspection.
