Three Courses, Lots of Moisture
With the Lakes, Palms, and Sonoran courses all in one community, Oakwood has a lot of irrigated turf and open water. In the Arizona desert, those features act like an oasis for insects that would otherwise struggle in the heat.
Mosquitoes, crickets, ants, and the scorpions that feed on them all benefit. Oakwood pest control has to account for that moisture rather than treat each home like a dry desert lot.
Our technicians look at how your yard drains, where sprinklers overspray onto walls, and which areas stay damp the longest. That shapes where we treat and what we recommend.
Sprinkler overspray hitting stucco walls is a common issue on course-side lots, and it keeps the base of the house damp enough to draw ants, roaches, and termites.
We will flag anything like that so you or your landscaper can adjust heads and timers.
Keeping Mosquitoes Down
Mosquitoes breed in standing water and rest in shady plants during the day. Lakes are part of the landscape, but plenty of breeding happens much closer to home.
Fishing lakes and water hazards are beyond any homeowner's control, so focusing on the water you can manage at home pays off. Your technician will flag any of these spots during the visit and treat the shady resting areas around your patio.
- Plant saucers and decorative pots
- Clogged yard drains and gutters
- Birdbaths that are not refreshed often
- Dense shrubs where adults rest
Local Service From Chandler
Green Magic is based just up the road in Chandler and has served the East Valley since 2016. Same or next-day service is our standard, and we use pet friendly, eco-friendly products that are safe for kids and pets once applied.
Our technicians are paid by the day, not per stop, so there is time to walk the course-facing side of your lot carefully and talk through anything you have noticed.

Can you treat for mosquitoes near the lakes?
We treat your property, including the shaded areas where mosquitoes rest and any spots where water collects. That reduces bites in your yard even with lakes nearby.
Why are scorpions common near golf courses?
Irrigated turf supports crickets and other insects that scorpions eat. Homes along the course often see more activity, so we focus extra attention on the course-facing side.
Do you come back if pests return?
Yes. Free re-treatments between scheduled visits are part of every Green Magic plan.
