Sitting beneath the Superstitions, Apache Junction gets heavy scorpion and desert-spider activity, especially on properties backing to open land.
Apache Junction is a city at the eastern edge of the Phoenix metro, mostly in Pinal County with part in Maricopa County. It is named for the junction of the Apache Trail and the Old West Highway, the former US 60, and it incorporated on November 24, 1978. The city covers about 35 square miles at about 1,700 feet, with Mesa partly to the west and Gold Canyon to the southeast. The Superstition Mountains rise to the east and the Goldfield Mountains to the north, both in the Tonto National Forest.

Lost Dutchman State Park and the Superstitions
Lost Dutchman State Park, about 300 acres at the base of the Superstitions northeast of the city, and the Superstition Wilderness beyond it, with Weavers Needle inside, border the open desert on that side of town. Lots there face rocky, undeveloped land. Bark scorpions live in that rock and come into yards at night, and Extension advises managing them by changing the habitat near the house, which here means clearing rock and debris from the walls and sealing gaps.
How we handle bark scorpionsCity desert parks and storage
The city keeps large areas of desert as parks, including Prospector Park, 276 acres on Idaho Road, and Silly Mountain Park, 200 acres just north of US 60, so many neighborhoods sit beside open land. Sheds, workshops and stored vehicles that are rarely moved give black widows and rodents shelter, and long property lines leave a lot of edge for desert pests to cross. Keeping storage off the house walls and treating along the fence line covers more of that edge.
How we handle spidersUsery Mountain and monsoon storms
Usery Mountain Regional Park covers 3,648 acres at the west end of the Goldfield Mountains, near the city’s northwest corner. Monsoon storms send water across that desert and into low ground and washes, and scorpions and insects move to higher, drier spots when it floods, often walls and patios. Water that stays standing for about a week afterward can breed mosquitoes.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Apache Junction is part of our East Valley coverage, on both the Pinal County and the Maricopa County side. We come by appointment; inspecting and estimating cost you nothing.
They are built beside rocky desert where bark scorpions already live, and scorpions travel into yards at night to hunt. Boulders, block walls and valve boxes near the house give them places to hide by day. Treating the fence line and yard as well as the house, and sealing gaps at doors, keeps more of them outside.
They are often found there, because black widows prefer places that are seldom disturbed. Wear gloves when moving stored items, and look for the glossy black spider with a red hourglass on the underside. Extension notes that a bite can cause severe pain and cramping, so get medical advice if bitten.
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.
