What Hides in Desert Landscaping
Decorative rock holds heat on the surface and stays cool underneath. Black widows spin messy webs in the shaded spaces below, and bark scorpions tuck into the cracks until dark.
Garages are the next stop. Stored boxes, shelving, and the corners behind water heaters give spiders quiet places to build, which is why so many Encore homeowners first notice a problem while grabbing something off a shelf.
Outdoor furniture, grill covers, and plant pots that rarely get moved are another favorite. A quick check under cushions and lids before sitting down is a good habit in any desert yard.
- Black widows in garage corners and under outdoor furniture
- Scorpions in rock beds and along wall bases
- Crickets near porch lights, which feed spiders
Our Approach for Encore Homes
We start by knocking down existing webs and egg sacs, then treat cracks, wall bases, and garage edges where spiders return. Outside, we focus on rock borders and the foundation line.
For scorpions specifically, our Black Light Scorpion Service lets us find and remove active scorpions at night, when they glow under UV light and are easiest to spot.
We also look at weep screeds, garage door seals, and utility openings. Pointing out those small gaps helps you keep spiders and scorpions on the outside where they belong.
Service That Stays Consistent
If spiders or scorpions show up between scheduled visits, we come back and re-treat for free. It is part of treating every service like the first service.
Our technicians are paid by the day, which gives them time to clear webs properly instead of hitting a few spots and moving on.
Bi-monthly service starts starting at $45 a month for homes up to 2,500 square feet. Call 480-999-5302 and we can usually be there the same or next day.

Are black widows common in Eastmark?
They are common across the Phoenix area, especially in garages, block wall gaps, and under patio furniture. Regular treatment and web removal keep their numbers down.
Does rock landscaping make scorpions worse?
Rock gives scorpions plenty of hiding spots, so it can. We treat those beds directly and can add a black light inspection to locate active scorpions.
Will the products hurt my plants?
No. We use eco-friendly products applied to the areas pests travel, not sprayed broadly across your landscaping.
