Lawns Hold More Than Grass
Grass and the soil beneath it stay cooler and damper than surrounding rock and desert. Crickets shelter there during the day and swarm toward lights at night. Fleas hide in shady, moist spots where pets rest.
Mosquitoes breed in standing water from overwatering, clogged drains, and low spots in the yard, especially during summer storms.
Our technicians look at how your yard is watered and where water collects, then target treatment to those areas.
Overwatering is one of the biggest pest drivers we see in irrigated yards. Running sprinklers in the early morning, fixing broken heads, and letting the top layer of soil dry between waterings all reduce the moisture pests depend on.
Crickets Lead to Scorpions
Crickets are more than a noisy nuisance. They are a favorite food for scorpions and spiders. A yard with lots of crickets tends to attract both.
We treat cricket hiding spots and areas around lights and doors, which also helps reduce scorpion and spider activity around the home.
Switching to warmer toned outdoor lights and adjusting irrigation schedules can make a noticeable difference.
Scorpions themselves hide in rock borders, block walls, and garages near the lawn. Our perimeter treatment covers these areas on every visit, and black light service is available for homes with frequent sightings.

Plans and Pricing
Lawn friendly protection starts starting at $45 a month, with visits every other month, for homes up to 2,500 square feet. Free re-treatments between visits mean you never pay more if pests return.
Our technicians are paid by the day, not per stop, so they have time to check sprinkler zones, lawn edges, and pet areas instead of rushing past them. If pests show up between visits, we return at no extra charge.

Why are crickets so loud around my house?
Male crickets chirp to attract mates. Large numbers near your home usually mean moisture and shelter nearby, plus lights drawing them in.
Does El Prado pest control include mosquitoes?
Yes. Mosquito service is available and works well alongside regular pest control. Pairing it with simple steps like emptying standing water makes a noticeable difference on summer evenings.
Can fleas live in my lawn?
Yes. Fleas prefer shady, moist areas where pets rest. We treat those spots in the yard.
