City Wide Pest Control has been providing professional tick control in Phoenix and across Arizona for over 40 years.
Ticks on a commercial property create health risks that go far beyond a simple pest complaint. For kennels, veterinary clinics, and animal care facilities, tick infestations can spread rapidly through animal populations and into work areas. For landscaping companies, outdoor event venues, and properties bordering desert or undeveloped land, ticks pose a direct risk to employees and visitors. Ticks carry serious diseases including Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tick-borne relapsing fever, both documented in Arizona.

Arizona is home to several tick species that transmit disease. The brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) thrives in kennel and veterinary environments, completing its entire life cycle indoors and establishing persistent infestations in cracks, crevices, and bedding areas. Rocky Mountain wood ticks and soft ticks inhabit desert areas surrounding Valley commercial properties.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a genuine concern in Arizona. Maricopa County has documented cases, and the CDC has identified Arizona tribal communities as having some of the highest RMSF rates in the country. Tick-borne relapsing fever, caused by soft ticks in the genus Ornithodoros, is also present in Arizona.
Professional tick treatment for commercial properties is critical across multiple industries. For animal care facilities, untreated tick infestations cause anemia in animals, spread blood-borne diseases, and create an environment that damages your professional reputation. For outdoor venues and properties with employee exposure, tick management is both a health priority and a potential workers' compensation concern.

The primary tick pest in kennels, veterinary clinics, and animal care facilities. Unique among ticks, completes its entire life cycle indoors. Infests cracks, crevices, bedding, and wall voids. Can survive months without a blood meal.
Found in higher-elevation areas and desert margins around the Valley. Primary vector for Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Colorado tick fever. Attaches to humans, dogs, and wildlife.
Found in rodent burrows, caves, and areas with wildlife activity near commercial properties. Vector for tick-borne relapsing fever. Feed quickly (minutes rather than days) and retreat to harborage.

Yes. While Arizona is not traditionally associated with ticks like the eastern United States, several tick species are well-established in the Valley. Brown dog ticks are common in animal care facilities, and properties bordering desert or undeveloped land encounter wood ticks and soft ticks carried by wildlife. Rocky Mountain spotted fever cases are documented in Maricopa County.
Monthly service is standard for most commercial properties with tick exposure. Animal care facilities, kennels, and veterinary clinics often require bi-weekly treatment during active infestations. Properties bordering desert land benefit from monthly perimeter treatments year-round.
Yes. The brown dog tick is unique, it completes its entire life cycle indoors and can establish large populations in cracks, crevices, wall voids, and bedding within kennels and animal care facilities. Indoor brown dog tick infestations require aggressive, systematic treatment to eliminate.
We select products and application methods appropriate for animal care environments. Treatments are applied to cracks, crevices, and structural harborage, not directly to animals. We coordinate with your staff to ensure treatments align with your facility operations and animal safety protocols.
Arizona ticks can transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), tick-borne relapsing fever, ehrlichiosis, and canine-specific diseases including babesiosis and ehrlichiosis. RMSF is the most serious concern, it can be fatal if untreated and Arizona has documented clusters of cases.
