Avondale is a Southwest Valley city in Maricopa County at about 980 feet, split by I-10 into an old farm town core and newer subdivisions. Old Town Avondale along Western Avenue and the grid near Central Avenue is 1920s to 1960s housing with mature trees, old plumbing and unscreened gable vents, and that brings roof rats, Argentine ants, Turkestan roaches at the slab and sewer roaches through drains in monsoon season. Garden Lakes adds lake side lots with mosquitoes and midges in summer, and the flat former cotton land north of the freeway holds moisture that keeps desert subterranean termite colonies close to the slab.
South of I-10 the city runs to the Gila River and the edge of Estrella Mountain Regional Park, and Rancho Santa Fe, Coldwater Springs, Del Rio Ranch and the subdivisions along Estrella Parkway are 2000s stucco tract homes with block walls, granite yards and pools. Lots near the river and the washes carry bark scorpions, pack rats and black widows, and Africanized bee swarms land on block walls each spring and fall. Homes bordering the remaining farmland get field mice and crickets each fall and after harvest.
Phoenix Raceway, the auto dealerships along the I-10 corridor and the warehouses near the Loop 101 bring commercial accounts under Maricopa County Environmental Services inspection rules. Summer heat above 110 degrees and the July monsoon drive the residential calls, led by termites, roaches, ants, roof rats in Old Town and scorpions near the river.

Pest Control in Avondale — Local Notes
- •Old Town Avondale homes from the 1920s to 1960s need gable vent screening, roof line and old plumbing sealing for roof rats and roaches rather than the weep hole work tract homes get.
- •Subdivisions south of I-10 near the Gila River and Estrella Mountain Regional Park carry bark scorpion, pack rat and black widow pressure and get block wall, weep hole and pool pad treatment with cricket control.
- •Former cotton field soil under the newer neighborhoods keeps subterranean termite colonies close to the slab, and drip lines against the foundation are moved off the wall with every termite job.
- •Garden Lakes and other lake side lots get mosquito and midge pressure around the water from May through September.
