Irrigation and Ants
Community landscaping and golf course turf stay green with plenty of water. Ant colonies thrive in that moist soil and follow it right up to sidewalks, patios, and foundations.
During the hottest weeks, ants move indoors looking for water. Kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms are common trouble spots.
We treat colonies and trails outside and seal off the routes they use to get in.
Fresh landscaping in newer sections of the community adds to the moisture, giving ants even more room to spread.
Scorpions Near the Desert Edge
Even well developed parts of Desert Ridge are close to natural desert. Bark scorpions move in from that land and shelter in block walls, rock beds, and garages.
Regular perimeter treatment keeps their numbers down, and our Black Light Scorpion Service is available for homes with frequent sightings.
Crickets drawn to porch and landscape lights add to the problem, since scorpions follow them toward the house.

Wasps Around Patios
Paper wasps build nests under eaves, patio covers, and light fixtures. They are drawn to pools and water features in the summer, which puts them close to where families spend time.
We treat and remove nests near living areas and re-treat for free if they come back. In Desert Ridge, service begins starting at $45 a month for homes of 2,500 square feet or less.
Bees may also visit pools and fountains for water. If you notice heavy bee activity, keep your distance and let us assess it. Since our technicians earn a day rate, every Desert Ridge visit gets their full attention, from the front walk to the back wall.

Why do ants keep coming back to my kitchen?
They are usually after water or food and are coming from a colony outside. Treating the colony, not just the trail, is what stops them. Fixing leaks under sinks helps too.
Do golf course homes need extra treatment?
They often see more ants and crickets because of nearby irrigation. We tailor each visit to the activity we actually see on your property.
