Shade Changes Everything
Areas that sit in a mountain's shadow stay cooler and hold moisture longer. That is pleasant on a summer evening, but it also creates ideal conditions for crickets, roaches, and the scorpions that hunt them.
Mountain Shadows East pest control focuses on those shaded, damp zones: north-facing walls, dense plantings, the area behind retaining walls, and around pool equipment. We treat where pests rest during the day, not just where you see them at night.
Irrigation that runs a bit long in shaded areas makes the problem worse, since the soil there may never fully dry out. We will flag any zones that look overwatered.
Crickets and Roaches
Crickets gather near lights and in damp beds, then slip under garage doors. Roaches hide in irrigation boxes, drains, and sewer cleanouts, and wander inside on warm nights.
By treating both, we cut down the insects that feed scorpions, which helps reduce scorpion activity too.
Older sewer cleanout caps sometimes go missing or crack, leaving an open path for roaches. We check these during service and let you know if one needs replacing.
Fixing it is usually quick and inexpensive, and it can make a noticeable difference.
- Porch and garage lights
- Irrigation valve boxes and cleanouts
- Shaded beds near the foundation
- Door sweeps and thresholds

Why is my shaded side yard full of crickets?
Shade holds moisture, which crickets love. Treating those areas and adjusting irrigation can greatly reduce their numbers.
Can roaches come in through sewer lines?
Yes. Large outdoor roaches often travel through sewer lines and come up through drains or cleanouts. We treat these entry points.
How much is service?
