General Pest Control
Scorpions, spiders, ants and other common desert pests, kept out year-round.

Service Area
San Tan Valley sits right up against open desert and undeveloped land, which usually means more pest pressure than neighborhoods buried deep in a city. We treat homes here for the scorpions, crickets and other desert pests that move in from nearby washes and vacant lots.
What we see in San Tan Valley
Homes backing to open desert and washes see steady scorpion and cricket activity, since those pests travel in from undeveloped land. We focus on the exterior gaps and block-wall entry points they use to get inside.
Weeds along fence lines and in vacant nearby lots give pests a bridge from open desert straight to your foundation. Keeping perimeters clear is part of keeping pests out, which is why weed control and pest control go hand in hand here.
Properties near undeveloped land or agricultural areas often need a closer eye than homes in the middle of a built-out subdivision. We match the plan to how much pressure your property actually sees.
Local, and on it
We treat the exterior your home actually needs, from the foundation line and block walls to the eaves, and keep it protected between visits so pests stay out for good.
Season to season
Desert pests do not take the winter off. They relocate. Knowing how the year runs is most of the reason we treat on a schedule instead of waiting for the phone to ring.
As nights warm, scorpions leave the block, rock and wall voids they sheltered in, and ants start trailing for food and water. Treating early is what keeps a little activity from becoming a built-up population by summer.
Heavy rain floods the ground crickets, scorpions and spiders live in, so they move to the driest shelter nearby, which is usually your home. The humidity that comes with it keeps roaches moving too.
As temperatures drop, pests start looking for warmth and work toward the same door gaps and weep holes they have been using all summer. Webbing around eaves and porch corners tends to come back fast.
Scorpions shelter in block walls, rock and wall voids rather than disappearing, and subterranean termites stay active underground. Skipping the cold months usually just means more to deal with in spring.
Your plan does not change with the calendar. What we look for on the visit does.
What we treat
Arizona bark scorpions are genuinely dangerous to kids and pets, and they're built to survive. We treat for them as part of our general pest service.
On the property
Almost everything that keeps desert pests out of a home happens on the outside of it. We work the exterior in the same order every time, starting at the roofline and finishing at the yard line, so the barrier ends up where pests actually cross it.
Webs, egg sacs and nests come down from eaves, soffits, porch ceilings and second-story corners with an extension pole, so the top of the house stops being the easiest place on it to live.
Thresholds, garage seals, window frames, weep holes, hose bibs and utility penetrations are the gaps scorpions and ants actually use. Those get treated directly instead of sprayed past.
A block wall is a highway and a hiding place at the same time. We work the base of the wall and the strip of ground tight against the house, where pests stage before they get in.
Gravel, planter beds, side yards and fence lines come last, so the ground around your home stays clear instead of turning into a bridge back to the foundation.
If something specific is going on at your address, tell us before the visit and we will build it into the route.

Why local matters here
Our routes run across the East and Northeast Valley, so San Tan Valley is a short drive rather than a trip across the metro. That matters most between scheduled visits, when something shows up on a Tuesday and you would rather not wait a week to have somebody look at it.
It also means we already know how homes around here are built. Block-wall yards, stucco over block, tile roofs, decomposed granite run right up to the foundation and drip irrigation on a timer. Those details decide where pests get in, and they repeat from one neighborhood to the next.
