Pest Control in Scottsdale, AZ

Scottsdale runs 30 miles north to south through Maricopa County and the pest work changes completely from one end to the other. South Scottsdale, Old Town and the 1960s and 1970s neighborhoods around Indian Bend, McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch are flood irrigated or lake side lots with mature citrus, palms, oleander and turf. That is roof rat country, with Argentine ants, earwigs, mosquitoes around the greenbelts and lakes, and sewer roaches through drains in monsoon season. Termite tubes on stem walls are routine on those wet lots.

North Scottsdale is desert edge from the Loop 101 up through Grayhawk, DC Ranch, Troon North and Desert Mountain against the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, at 2,000 to 3,000 feet on rocky ground with boulders, block walls, big pools and native desert on the lot line. This is some of the heaviest bark scorpion, pack rat, kissing bug and black widow pressure in the state, with Africanized bee swarms in spring and fall and rattlesnakes near the washes. Homes there are large, often two story, with long block wall runs and multiple pool pads, and monthly scorpion service with a black light check is the standard program.

Scottsdale also carries a large resort, restaurant and vacation rental market under Maricopa County Environmental Services inspection rules, plus HOA and gated community scheduling on nearly every job. Calls are led by scorpions in the north, roof rats and termites in the south, and bees on block walls citywide.
