High Ground, Hidden Gaps
Hillside homes often feature terraces, retaining walls, and multi-level patios. Each change in elevation creates seams, weep holes, and shaded spaces where scorpions and spiders can hide.
Our technicians look closely at how the home steps down the hill. We treat along retaining walls, under stair landings, at the edges of terraces, and around every exterior door. These are the places a ground-level plan might miss.
Rain runoff also matters. On a slope, storm water channels debris and insects toward low corners of the property. After monsoon storms, those corners often need extra attention.
Elevation also means wind, which pushes leaves and debris into corners of patios and stairwells. Those piles become hiding spots for spiders and scorpions, so we check and treat them each visit.
La Place du Sommet Pest Control Basics
Every regular visit covers the essentials, with adjustments based on what we find that day.
After treatment, your technician will tell you which areas showed the most activity, so you can keep stored items, pots, and firewood away from those spots between visits.
- Barrier treatment along the foundation and walls
- Eave and roofline sweeps for webs and wasp nests
- Treatment of rock borders and terraced beds
- Indoor spot treatment at any room where pests have slipped in
Scorpions After Dark
Our Black Light Scorpion Service is especially useful on hillside lots. A technician visits after dark with ultraviolet light, finds and removes active scorpions, and notes where they are coming from so future treatments are more precise.
Pair that with bi-monthly service and free re-treatments, and you have steady protection all year.
Our technicians are paid by the day instead of per stop, which gives them time to cover steep side yards and terraced areas properly. Hillside or not, a home up to 2,500 square feet starts starting at $45 a month for bi-monthly service.

Why are hillside homes more prone to scorpions?
Rocky slopes and retaining walls offer lots of protected hiding places. Homes closer to natural terrain simply have more scorpion habitat nearby.
Do you treat wasps on high eaves?
Yes. We remove wasp nests from eaves and patio covers during regular visits and treat spots where they keep coming back.
Who will come to my home?
A licensed Green Magic technician who is paid by the day, not per stop, so they take the time to do the job right.
