Ants and Young Landscaping
New plantings need more water while their roots take hold. That moist soil along beds and foundations is where ant colonies thrive, and they grow quickly in the first few seasons.
Pavers, patio slabs, and freshly poured sidewalks give ants protected spaces to nest beneath. Once colonies are established, trails start showing up along baseboards and kitchen counters, especially during the hottest weeks of summer.
We locate colonies outside and treat them directly, then seal off the routes workers use to get inside.
Fire ants are less common here than harvester ants, pavement ants, and small sugar ants, but any of them can become a nuisance once a trail is established.
Scorpions in a Growing Area
Queen Creek is still growing, and nearby construction can push scorpions out of disturbed ground. A new home with block walls, irrigation, and rock beds can look like a perfect replacement shelter.
We treat wall bases, rock beds, and garage edges on every visit. For homes with frequent sightings, the Black Light Scorpion Service adds a nighttime search when scorpions are easiest to find.
Crickets drawn to new porch lights add to the problem, since scorpions follow them to your walls. Treating crickets on every visit helps break that chain.

Why do ants show up more in summer?
Extreme heat dries out the soil, so ants move indoors looking for water. Kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms are common targets. Fixing leaks and sealing gaps under sinks helps a lot.
Do I really need pest control in a new home?
New homes often see more activity, not less, because nearby building disturbs pests. Starting early keeps them from settling in. It also gives your technician a baseline to compare against on future visits.
Are your treatments safe for my kids?
Yes. Our eco-friendly products are safe for kids and pets once applied and dried. We keep interior treatments targeted.
