Washes Are Pest Highways
Dry washes carry more than storm runoff. They act as travel corridors for scorpions, rodents, and other wildlife, giving them cover as they move between open desert and backyards.
If your lot backs onto a wash, we focus on that side of the property. We treat block walls, gates, and the rock and gravel where the wash meets your landscaping.
Native plants like creosote and palo verde also provide shelter. We treat around their bases when they sit close to the home, without harming the plants themselves.
We will also point out any spots where the wall has gaps at the base, since those are easy fixes that make a real difference.
Pets, Fleas, and Ticks
Dogs that explore the desert edge or visit nearby trails can bring home fleas and ticks. Rodents and wildlife passing through the yard can carry them too.
We treat the yard areas where these pests wait, including shaded spots under shrubs and along fence lines. What we apply is pet friendly and safe after it dries.
If your pets are scratching more than usual or you spot a tick after a walk, let us know right away. We can treat the yard quickly, and same or next-day service is our standard. Combining yard treatment with your pet's regular preventive care gives the best results, and it keeps the indoor carpets and furniture from becoming a flea nursery.

Can you help with pack rats?
Yes. Pack rats are common near desert washes. We look for nests and entry points, set up control, and suggest ways to make your property less attractive to them.
Are ticks a problem in Fountain Hills?
They can be, especially for pet owners near open desert. A yard treatment combined with your vet's flea and tick plan gives the best protection.
Do you treat wash areas outside my wall?
We focus on your property and its borders. Treating the wall line and gates facing the wash creates a barrier between the desert and your home.
