Shade Trees and Citrus Bring Their Own Visitors
Large trees drop leaves that build up in corners and against walls. That layer of debris stays cool and damp, giving crickets, roaches, and spiders a cozy place to live right next to your home.
Citrus trees are a favorite of roof rats, which feed on fruit and use branches to reach rooflines. Bees may also build hives in hollow trunks, wall voids, or irrigation boxes when the weather warms up.

- Bee and wasp activity in trees and eaves
- Crickets and roaches in leaf litter
- Spiders in shaded corners and woodpiles
What Your Technician Checks
We look up as well as down. Branches touching the roof, gaps around vents, and gnaw marks on fascia all point to rodent activity, while mud tubes on walls or tree stumps can signal termites.
At ground level, your tech treats wall bases, rock beds, and patio edges, and points out any spots where trimming or cleanup would help.
Leaf litter cleanup is one of the easiest ways to help. Raking out wall corners and under shrubs a few times a year takes away a lot of the cool, damp shelter crickets and roaches depend on.

Can you remove a beehive from my tree?
Yes, we handle bees and wasps around the home. Arizona bees can be defensive, so please keep your distance and give us a call rather than trying to remove a hive yourself.
How do I know if I have roof rats?
Common signs include scratching in the attic at night, droppings in the garage, and half-eaten citrus on the ground. We can inspect and set up a plan to remove them.
Should I trim my trees before service?
Keeping branches a few feet off the roof helps a lot with rodents and other climbers. Your tech can show you which areas matter most during the visit.
