Life by the Water
A lake changes the insect picture. Shoreline plants, damp soil, and still water in corners can support mosquitoes and other insects that would struggle in dry desert yards.
Evening lights along docks, patios, and back walls draw flying insects in big numbers. Spiders build webs to catch them, and crickets gather in the damp edges.
Our treatments focus on the lake facing side of the home, where pest pressure is often strongest.
Lake moisture also supports more plant growth than typical desert yards. Thick shrubs, ground cover, and shade trees offer places for insects to hide during the heat of the day.
Mosquito Control Near the Lake
We cannot treat a lake, but we can reduce mosquitoes on your property. That means treating shady resting areas in landscaping, finding standing water in pots, drains, and covers, and offering tips to keep breeding spots to a minimum.
Monsoon season and warm summer evenings tend to bring the most activity.
Pots, birdbaths, clogged gutters, and pool covers are common breeding spots that homeowners overlook. Emptying these weekly during warm months can make a noticeable difference along with our treatments.
Webs, Crickets, and More
Spiders on lakeside homes can build webs quickly along eaves and lights. We remove webs and treat the areas spiders use for shelter. Cricket control helps reduce the food that keeps spiders and scorpions around.
Service starts starting at $45 a month for homes up to 2,500 square feet, with free re-treatments between visits.
Every side of the home, shoreline included, gets treated without hurry. That comes from paying technicians by the day rather than by the stop.
Scorpions can also be part of the picture. Rock landscaping and block walls near the water give them places to hide, and the insects drawn to the lake give them plenty to eat. Regular exterior service keeps them in check.
