Tick Control for Tempe Businesses

Ticks on a business property are more than a nuisance. Where animals are housed, such as kennels and veterinary clinics, they can move quickly between animals and into staff areas. Landscaping crews, outdoor event venues, and sites beside open ground carry contact risks for employees and guests too. Illnesses linked to ticks include tick-borne relapsing fever and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and both are known in Arizona.
City Wide Pest Control is a family owned business, locally owned and operated, and based in Phoenix. We work with government clients at the state, county and city level, plus several school districts, and we carry that accountability into every program. Anyone looking for a commercial tick exterminator in Tempe gets the same careful documentation.

  • Why It Matters

The Case for Professional Tick Control

Several tick species in Arizona can spread illness. The brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) does well around kennels and veterinary settings, where it can finish its whole life cycle indoors and settle into cracks, crevices, and bedding. Soft ticks live in rodent burrows and desert ground near Valley commercial sites.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a real consideration in Arizona, with cases documented in Maricopa County. Tick-borne relapsing fever, spread by soft ticks of the genus Ornithodoros, also occurs in the state. Knowing what is present locally helps us set a sensible program for your property rather than guessing.
Professional treatment matters across many kinds of businesses. At animal care facilities, an untreated infestation can lead to anemia in animals, pass along blood-borne diseases, and harm the reputation you have built. At outdoor venues and sites where employees are exposed, tick management supports health and may also bear on workers’ compensation.

What Tempe Workplaces Should Know About Ticks

Tempe Town Lake draws more than 2.4 million visitors a year and hosts more than 40 special events annually, while more than 40,000 people work at the businesses surrounding it. Add the 320-acre ASU Research Park, with three lakes covering 18 surface acres and more than 6 miles of trails, and local employers have plenty of outdoor ground to look after.
Arizona State University enrolled 51,200 students on its Tempe campus in fall 2026, and local employers include State Farm, Salt River Project, Wells Fargo, Honeywell and Medtronic. About 59 percent of the city’s occupied homes are renter occupied, and the median housing unit was built in 1986. Whether you manage an office, a campus or a rental community, tick control for businesses in Tempe works best as a steady, documented program rather than a one-time visit.

  • Our Method

How Our Tick Program Works

Step 1
Property Assessment
Our state-licensed technicians walk the property to look for tick activity, name the species involved, find harborage areas, and note conditions that add pressure, such as wildlife routes, thick vegetation, and moisture.
Step 2
Targeted Treatment Program
We treat the perimeter along foundations, planting areas, walkways, and property edges. Inside, we treat kennels, veterinary spaces, and animal care areas as needed. Crack and crevice work targets the harborage spots where brown dog ticks settle in.
Step 3
Habitat Modification
We point out the brush, debris, and site conditions that favor ticks and give clear, specific advice for shrinking their habitat.
Step 4
Wildlife Interface Management
Where a property meets open or undeveloped ground, we focus on the edge where wildlife-borne ticks reach your building, treating buffer areas and limiting what draws animals in.
Step 5
Ongoing Monitoring
Follow-up visits track tick activity, adjust treatments with the seasons, and keep numbers down through the busiest months.

Ticks We See at Arizona Businesses

  • High Risk
The tick pest seen most often around kennels, vet offices, and similar animal care sites. Uncommonly for a tick, it can finish its whole life cycle indoors, tucking into cracks, bedding, and wall voids. It can go months between blood meals, and it is the chief spotted fever carrier in Arizona.

  • Low Risk
Found at higher elevations in northern Arizona, not on the Valley floor. It can carry Colorado tick fever and will attach to people, dogs, and wildlife. Spotted fever in this state is tied mostly to the brown dog tick instead.

  • Moderate Risk
Turn up in rodent burrows, caves, and other wildlife spots near business properties. They can spread tick-borne relapsing fever. They feed in minutes instead of days, then slip back into hiding.

  • FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Should businesses near Tempe Town Lake worry about ticks?
Ticks do occur in Arizona, mainly around animals, rodents, and wildlife. Businesses by the lake that house animals, host outdoor gatherings, or maintain landscaping next to open ground may want an inspection. The lake hosts more than 40 special events annually, so a quick look at the grounds is a sensible, low-pressure first step.
Not every site does. Properties that house animals, back onto open ground, or have heavy landscaping and trails are the likeliest to benefit. The 320-acre ASU Research Park, with more than 6 miles of trails, is the sort of outdoor space where grounds teams may want that inspection. We look first and tell you plainly whether treatment makes sense.
Yes, commercial accounts sign a service agreement, while our residential service has no contracts. We assess the site first so the plan fits your property. Monthly service carries a 21-day warranty, and same-day service is available. Call (602) 944-0099, Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, to get started.

For businesses we offer Commercial Tick Control and Commercial Flea Control, and homeowners can use our Tick Control and Flea Control services.

Yes, several tick species live in Arizona. The brown dog tick can complete its life cycle indoors around kennels and clinics, while soft ticks stay in rodent burrows and wildlife areas. Because ticks are small and easy to miss, a licensed inspection is the best way to learn what, if anything, is on your property.
