Boulders, Rock, and Scorpions
Arizona bark scorpions favor tight crevices, and boulder formations offer countless of them. When homes are built close to or among those rocks, scorpions have a short trip from their daytime shelter to your patio door.
Rock walls, stone veneers, and natural stone landscaping add even more hiding places right against the structure.
Crickets and other insects living in the desert around the boulders give scorpions a steady food supply, which means activity can stay high from spring through fall.
Black Light Scorpion Service for Troon North
Because scorpions are nocturnal and glow under ultraviolet light, our Black Light Scorpion Service is one of the most effective tools for desert homes. A technician searches walls, rock features, and patios after dark to find and remove active scorpions.
We pair that with barrier treatments around the foundation, doors, windows, and garage, plus advice on sealing the gaps scorpions use most.
Many owners schedule a black light visit at the start of the warm season and again in late summer, when activity peaks. Your technician can suggest timing based on what they find.
- Nighttime UV scorpion search
- Treatment of stone walls and patios
- Door and window gap inspection
- Garage and pool equipment checks
Pack Rats and Other Desert Visitors
Pack rats build bulky nests in rock piles, cactus, and garages, and they can chew vehicle wiring. Spiders, including black widows, are also common in stonework. We address all of these as part of a complete plan for your home.
Our technicians are paid by the day, so a boulder lot gets the careful inspection it requires. Bi-monthly service starts starting at $45 a month for homes up to 2,500 square feet, with larger homes slightly more, and free re-treatments are included.
