Newer Construction, Active Pests
New neighborhoods are often built on land that used to be farm fields or open desert. When construction disturbs that ground, the insects and rodents living there need somewhere else to go.
Fresh stucco, new landscaping, and young irrigation systems can look like a great new home to scorpions, crickets, and ants. Cooley Station pest control starts with building a barrier around the foundation and treating the entry points pests are most likely to use.
Construction may still be underway nearby, which keeps that pressure going. Regular bi-monthly service lets us adjust as the area fills in.
Termites are part of the conversation too. Subterranean termites live in the soil long before homes go up, and a new slab does not make a house immune. We are happy to look at what pre-treatment was done and talk through ongoing protection.
Crickets and Scorpions
Crickets love new landscaping beds, bright porch lights, and the damp soil around drip emitters. Scorpions follow crickets. Cutting cricket numbers is one of the fastest ways to reduce scorpion sightings.
Young trees and shrubs on drip lines keep small patches of soil wet all summer, and those patches are where we find crickets hiding during the day. We treat them along with the foundation on every visit.
- Treat damp beds and drip zones
- Switch to warm-colored porch bulbs
- Add sweeps to any exterior door that shows daylight underneath
- Keep garage doors closed at night
Starting Off Right
Our first visit includes a full walk of the property and a conversation about what you have seen so far. Our technicians are paid by the day, not per stop, so there is time to answer questions and point out simple fixes that builders sometimes leave behind, like small gaps around pipes or garage door corners.
Bi-monthly service starts starting at $45 a month for homes up to 2,500 square feet, and our pet friendly products are safe for kids and pets once applied.
