Mountain Desert Brings Pests Close
Rocky slopes and desert brush hold large populations of bark scorpions, pack rats, and spiders. At night, they move downhill toward homes in search of water and shelter.
Homes built into hillsides or along the base of the mountains often have retaining walls, rock landscaping, and natural desert right up to the property line. All of these give pests easy cover.
Scorpions in particular can climb walls and slip through gaps as thin as a credit card.
Crickets add to the problem, especially on summer nights when lights draw them close to the house. Scorpions and spiders follow the crickets.
Our Approach for Mountain Homes
Regular service treats walls, rock, garage edges, and entry points. We also check pool equipment, irrigation boxes, and stored items where scorpions and spiders like to hide.
For homes with heavy scorpion activity, our Black Light Scorpion Service adds a nighttime search. Pack rats and other rodents are handled with trapping and exclusion.
Inside, we treat baseboards, bathrooms, and garages only where activity has been seen. Replacing door sweeps and weather stripping helps keep scorpions from getting inside.

Protection You Can Count On
Bi-monthly plans start starting at $45 per month for homes up to 2,500 square feet, with slightly higher pricing for larger homes. If pests come back between visits, we re-treat for free.
Our technicians are paid by the day, so they take the time needed for larger, hillside properties.
We are locally owned, BBB accredited, and aim for same or next-day service whenever you call.
