About Ahwatukee AZ

Ahwatukee AZ, (formally "Ahwatukee Foothills Village") is a suburban area of South Phoenix. Indeed, Ahwatukee isn’t even a city or town as it was annexed by the city of Phoenix. But, residents of Ahwatukee don’t really care to associate themselves with city of Phoenix and because of the divide established by South Mountain, a protected park area, residents can easily establish where the legendary Ahwatukee begins and dreary dangerous city of Phoenix ends. But that population divide doesn’t protect them from some of Phoenix’s most feared creatures.

Scorpions roam the Ahwatukee Foothills, accompanied by their not so pleasant relative tarantulas. While neither of these venomous creatures has killed anyone as of late, an attack from either could leave a victim in severe pain. But have no fear, a strong defensive barrier can protect you, your loved ones, and your home.

Common insects in Ahwatukee include: roaches, earwigs, pincher bugs, silverfish, crickets, termites, ants, beetles, centipedes, house fly, grasshoppers, and fleas.

Arachnids include: scorpions, black widow spiders, dessert recluses, camel spiders, sun spiders, wolf spiders, garden spiders, and ticks. Quick Fact: Did you know that Arizona, of all the US states, has the most species of ants? The most toxic of which is actually the harvester ant. A little black ant that lives in small colonies, mounds are fairly easy to recognize as these ants are adamant about having clean apartments. In fact, if you throw a little grass on top of the harvester ants home within the next 24 hours they will have swept the grass away.
