Anthem’s elevation and surrounding desert mean scorpions, spiders and the occasional rodent move in from the open land around the community.
Anthem is a master-planned community about 30 miles north of downtown Phoenix along Interstate 17. Development began in 1998 on 5,661 acres at the base of Daisy Mountain and Gavilan Peak, and 23,190 people lived there at the 2020 census. The part of Anthem west of the freeway is inside the City of Phoenix, and the part east of it is unincorporated Maricopa County. At about 1,860 feet it sits well above central Phoenix, and native Sonoran Desert surrounds its neighborhoods.
Anthem
From the community park to Daisy Mountain
Anthem Community Park and the turf areas
Anthem Community Park covers 63 acres with lakes, an amphitheater and sports fields, and the Anthem Veterans Memorial stands inside it; at 11:11 a.m. each November 11, sunlight passes through its five pillars onto a mosaic of the Great Seal. Irrigated turf and still water keep the ground damp, and that suits crickets, earwigs and, after rain, mosquitoes. Homes near large lawns benefit from keeping sprinklers off the stucco and from removing anything in the yard that holds water.
How we handle earwigsDaisy Mountain and Gavilan Peak
Daisy Mountain, which is State Trust Land, and Gavilan Peak rise behind Anthem, and homes on the upper streets back onto their rocky slopes. Bark scorpions live in that rock, and the block walls and landscape rock of a newer home give them the same kind of crevices. Extension describes them as strong climbers, so a scorpion that crosses the back wall can reach a ceiling.
How we handle bark scorpionsProtected washes between neighborhoods
Anthem’s washes were identified by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1997 and are kept as natural desert open space that residents may not landscape. They run between many neighborhoods, and rodents and spiders use them as corridors, so the homes that back onto them meet those pests first. Western black widows sit in seldom-disturbed spots, such as block wall voids, valve boxes and garage corners: a glossy black spider with a red hourglass underneath.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Yes. We work on both sides of Interstate 17 in Anthem, in the Phoenix part and the unincorporated part alike. A technician inspects the home at no charge and quotes before anything is treated, and every service carries a 30-day guarantee.
Many of them back onto the native desert scorpions already live in, and block walls, rock landscaping and irrigation boxes give them fresh crevices to hide in. Extension advises changing the habitat around the home rather than relying on pesticides alone, so sealing gaps and clearing debris along walls comes first.
They can be after rain. Mosquitoes breed in water that stands for about a week, so plant saucers, birdbaths, an idle fountain and clogged roof drains are the usual sources around a home. Emptying those after each storm keeps numbers down.
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.
