Ahwatukee sits right against South Mountain Park, and homes along that boundary see scorpions and desert spiders come down off the mountain year-round.
Ahwatukee Foothills is one of the 15 urban villages of the City of Phoenix, in Maricopa County. The city’s plan describes it as running from the foothills of South Mountain Park south to Pecos Road, and from Interstate 10 west to about 35th Avenue, with the Gila River Indian Community beyond. Cut off from the rest of Phoenix by the mountain, it has been called the world’s largest cul-de-sac. Its name comes from a house begun in 1921 that Helen Brinton renamed Ahwatukee after buying it in 1935, and homebuilding in the area began in the 1970s.
Ahwatukee Foothills
Pests between South Mountain and the Pecos Road corridor
Streets along South Mountain Park and Preserve
About 14 square miles of South Mountain Park lie inside the village, crossed by trails such as Desert Classic, Pyramid and Pima. Homes along the northern edge have rocky desert at the back wall, and bark scorpions come off the mountain into block walls, rock borders and irrigation boxes. Extension advises managing scorpions through the habitat around a home, so clearing debris and sealing gaps comes before treatment inside.
How we handle bark scorpionsParks, common areas and moisture
Pecos Park on 48th Street, with its community center and pool, and Desert Foothills Park add irrigated turf to the village, and many neighborhoods have watered common areas of their own. That moisture suits earwigs and crickets, and water that stands for a week, in a fountain, a saucer or a clogged drain, is enough for mosquitoes. Earwigs inside the house usually point to a damp spot outside, such as an overwatered bed.
How we handle mosquitoesThe south and west edges
Along the south and west edges, the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway, opened in December 2019, runs on the Pecos Road alignment beside the Gila River Indian Community before cutting through the mountain’s western foothills. Homes backing onto open desert along those edges see black widows settle in block walls, garages and patio furniture, and rodents shelter in brush nearby. On these lots the fence line and yard need treatment along with the house.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Yes. We work throughout Ahwatukee Foothills, from the homes along the preserve to Mountain Park Ranch, Foothills Club West and The Foothills. Pick a time that suits you; inspecting the home and quoting the work are both free.
They need more attention outside. A lot that backs onto the preserve has scorpion habitat at the back wall, so the fence line and yard matter as much as the house perimeter. Sealing gaps at doors, weep screeds and utility openings keeps the climbers that cross the wall from getting inside.
Earwigs need damp, dark shelter, and watered turf, shaded beds and mulch against the house provide it. Finding them indoors, often in bathrooms and kitchens, usually points to moisture outside the walls. Fixing leaks and drying out the beds by the foundation does as much as treatment.
The frequency of pest control services depends on the type of pest and the severity of the infestation. Generally, quarterly treatments are recommended for preventive measures, but more frequent treatments may be necessary for severe infestations.
Not usually for an exterior visit. Interior work needs access, so we agree a time window and the technician confirms before arriving. Service is by appointment.
Before our technician arrives, please ensure that all food is stored away, and access points to infested areas are clear. Specific preparation steps will be provided based on the type of pest being treated.
A typical pest control treatment can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the size of the property and the severity of the infestation.
Pests can return because pressure changes with weather, moisture and entry conditions. Every service. Guaranteed for 30 days. The guarantee applies to the service provided, while regular maintenance and preventive measures reduce the likelihood of re-infestation.
