Arizona Pest Control Expert Witness

Pest expertise for Arizona's growth markets

Rapid growth across the Phoenix metro and Tucson has brought a surge in new construction, large multifamily communities, and real estate transactions. Each of those creates pest disputes, from subterranean termite activity in desert soils to bed bug spread in apartment communities. Adam Holt, BCE, travels regularly to Arizona for inspections and testimony.

Common Arizona matters

• Bed bug claims in large multifamily and student housing communities
• Subterranean termite damage and preconstruction treatment disputes in new homes
• Wood destroying insect inspection report disputes in residential sales
• Scorpion, rodent, and cockroach habitability and service negligence claims
• Hospitality and resort pest claims in Scottsdale and Phoenix

Regulatory context

Structural pest control in Arizona is regulated through the Arizona Department of Agriculture. Termite activity in Arizona is dominated by subterranean species adapted to desert conditions, and preconstruction termite treatment documentation is a frequent source of builder and homeowner disputes. Wood destroying insect inspection reports are common in residential sales.

The Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act addresses bed bugs directly in A.R.S. Section 33-1319, which covers landlord obligations such as providing educational information to tenants and not renting a unit known to have a bed bug infestation, along with tenant responsibilities.
