Hillside Desert Brings Scorpions
Rocky slopes and desert washes near Sunnyslope hold large bark scorpion populations. On warm nights, scorpions leave the hillside to hunt, and nearby walls and homes are the first stop.
Older homes tend to have more gaps around doors, windows, and utility lines, which makes it easier for scorpions to get inside. Replacing door sweeps and weather stripping is one of the best upgrades you can make.
We treat walls, rock, and entry points regularly and offer a Black Light Scorpion Service for homes with heavy activity.
Termites in Older Construction
Homes that have stood for decades are unlikely to have any termite protection left from when they were built. Cracks in older slabs and wood that touches soil give termites easy access.
An inspection checks for mud tubes, damaged wood, and swarmer wings. If we find activity, we explain what we see and recommend treatment in plain language.
Older wood trim, siding, and patio structures are worth checking too, since termites go after any wood they can reach from the soil.

Pack Rats and Mice
Pack rats from the hillside build nests in brush, under sheds, and inside parked vehicles. Mice move into garages and attics through small gaps.
We set targeted traps, find entry points, and help with exclusion so rodents stay outside. Sunnyslope homes up to 2,500 square feet start starting at $45 a month.
Our technicians are paid by the day instead of per stop, so they have time to work around hillside lots and older construction carefully. If scorpions or rodents return before the next visit, we come back free.

Is it normal to see scorpions often in Sunnyslope?
Homes near the preserve do tend to see more of them. Regular treatment, black light service, and sealing gaps all help bring numbers down. Most homes see steady improvement over the first few months.
How do I know if pack rats are nesting nearby?
Look for piles of sticks, cactus pieces, and debris under shrubs or stored items, as well as chewed wiring in cars. We are glad to come take a look.
Can my dog be in the yard after service?
Yes, once treated areas dry. Every product we apply is pet friendly and eco-friendly. Your technician will tell you when it is fine to let pets back out.
