Fallen Fruit Is an Open Invitation
If your yard has citrus or other fruit trees, dropped fruit becomes an easy meal for rodents. Roof rats in particular are agile climbers that use trees, block walls, and utility lines to reach rooflines and attics.
Ants are drawn to the sugars in ripe fruit and the honeydew left by aphids on leaves. Trails often lead from trees straight to the back door.
Roaches and other insects also feed on fallen fruit left to rot. Clearing it away quickly cuts down on several pests at once.
How We Help
We look for rodent runways, droppings, and gaps around the roofline and garage. Trapping and exclusion remove the rodents and close the doors they were using.
For ants, we treat colonies in the landscape and along the foundation so they stop finding their way inside.
We focus on the problem areas in your yard and explain what we see, so you understand exactly how pests are getting to your home.
Our technicians are paid by the day, which gives them time to check trees, walls, and rooflines carefully.
- Roof rat inspection and trapping
- Exclusion recommendations
- Ant treatment around trees and foundations
Keeping Your Yard Less Inviting
Trim citrus branches so they sit at least a few feet away from the roofline, and keep the skirt of the tree off the ground. That makes it harder for roof rats to climb up and hide.
Store pet food and bird seed in sealed containers, and avoid leaving water bowls outside overnight. Those are easy meals for rodents.
Bi-monthly plans start starting at $45 per month for homes up to 2,500 square feet, with free re-treatments if pests come back between visits. We aim for same or next-day service.

How can I tell if I have roof rats?
Noises in the attic at night, droppings in the garage, and partially eaten fruit still on the tree are all common signs. Give us a call and a technician will check it out. Catching them early prevents damage to wiring and insulation.
Should I pick up fallen fruit?
Yes. Picking up fruit regularly and trimming branches away from the roof makes your yard much less attractive to rodents.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Green Magic Pest Control holds Arizona License #9597 and is BBB accredited. Our team has been treating homes across the East Valley and greater Phoenix since 2016.
