Citrus and Roof Rats
Roof rats are skilled climbers that love fruit. Orange, lemon, and grapefruit trees offer food and cover, and branches touching the roof give them easy access to attics.
Signs include hollowed out fruit still hanging on the tree, droppings along walls, and scratching overhead at night.
Our technicians inspect trees, rooflines, and garages, then set up rodent control where activity is found.
Fruit that drops and rots on the ground draws more than rodents. Ants, cockroaches, and flies all take advantage, and fallen citrus near the house can lead pests straight to the back door.
Roof rats also nest in dense vines, palm skirts, and stacked storage along side yards. Thinning out these areas and keeping a little space between plants and walls removes much of the shelter they depend on.
Ants and Bees in Irrigated Yards
Ants nest in moist soil around drip lines and lawn edges, then trail into kitchens. We treat colonies directly and apply a barrier to keep them outside.
Flowering trees and shrubs also attract bees. A few pollinators are welcome, but a hive in a wall, meter box, or irrigation box needs professional removal.
Never try to remove a hive on your own. Africanized bees are present in Arizona and can be defensive when disturbed. Keep kids and pets away and give us a call.

Easy Steps That Help
Pick up fallen fruit, trim branches at least a few feet from the roof, and keep pet food indoors at night. These small changes make a property far less appealing to rodents.
Regular bi-monthly service starts starting at $45 a month for homes up to 2,500 square feet, with free re-treatments between visits.
A day rate for our technicians means trees, rooflines, and garages all get a real look, not just a quick line sprayed around the house.
