Peoria stretches from the old farm town core near Grand Avenue north through 1990s subdivisions to desert edge master planned communities near Lake Pleasant, all in Maricopa County. The south side, Old Town Peoria and the grid along Peoria Avenue and 83rd, is 1950s to 1980s housing with mature trees, some flood irrigation and older block construction, which brings roof rats, Argentine ants, earwigs, Turkestan roaches at the slab edge and sewer roaches through drains after monsoon rain. Termite mud tubes on the stem wall are routine there.
North Peoria is a different job. Vistancia, Westwing, Terramar, Fletcher Heights and the subdivisions along the Loop 303 and Lake Pleasant Parkway were graded out of the Sonoran Desert in the 2000s and sit against washes and open desert at 1,300 to 1,700 feet. Bark scorpions displaced by construction live in the block walls, pool pads and boulder landscaping, pack rats nest in the cholla and wood piles, kissing bugs come off those nests, and Africanized bee swarms land on block walls every spring and fall. Trilogy at Vistancia adds a 55 and over population with homes empty all summer.
The Peoria Sports Complex, Arrowhead area restaurants and the Loop 101 commercial corridor run under Maricopa County Environmental Services inspection rules. Summer heat above 110 degrees and the July monsoon drive the residential calls, led by scorpions in the north, termites and roof rats in the south, and pack rats near the desert.
