Hello Everyone,
To give an update I purchased my duplex in Peoria, AZ in Aug/Sep 2024. Currently House Hacking, as I got a tenant this month, and wanted to make sure I was doing all the necessary property/grounds maintenance required. I am looking for advice on what are some of the general property maintenance and grounds maintenance required for a property, in this region, throughout the year. Such as last fall I did the yard work, trimming branches on trees, cleaning up the leaves and removing some waste on the property.
One thing I'm concerned about are pests, when should I get pest control to spray for them, what is in the general area. Is there any stories you may want to share which I should pay attention to, etc.

In your area you watch out for roof rats, ants, scorpions, snakes, roaches, termites, javalinas and sasquatch. Road Runners, Quail, Doves and coyotes are relatively afraid of people and/or harmless.

I wouldn't start paying for pest control services until you have evidence of pests at your property. Since you are living there you should be able to identify this quickly. No need to pay for an additional cost if it isn't necessary.
