Buckeye’s rapid build-out on open desert means fresh lots constantly displacing scorpions, ants and rodents toward new homes.
Buckeye is the westernmost city in the Phoenix metro, in Maricopa County, and at about 393 square miles it is one of the largest cities in Arizona by area. It was founded in 1888 under the name Sidney, took the name Buckeye in 1910 from the Buckeye Canal, which honored Ohio, the Buckeye State, and incorporated as a town in 1929. Its limits run from the Gila River and the Buckeye Hills in the south, across Interstate 10, to the southern White Tank Mountains and the Hassayampa River in the north.
Buckeye, from downtown to the White Tanks
Desert, farmland and new construction across Buckeye
Downtown, the canal and the Gila River farmland
Downtown Buckeye lies south of Interstate 10 on the route of historic US 80, with irrigated fields, the Buckeye Canal and the Gila River farther south. Field rodents, crickets and ants live in crop rows and along canal banks, and when a field is cut, plowed or flooded they move to the nearest buildings. Older homes close to the fields benefit most from sealed gaps around pipes, garage doors and weep screeds.
How we handle rodentsSkyline Regional Park and the White Tanks
The southern end of the White Tank Mountains lies inside the city. Skyline Regional Park, which the city opened in 2016 at the north end of Watson Road, protects about 8,700 acres of it with more than 20 miles of trail. Homes on the north side of the city sit closer to that rocky desert, which is bark scorpion habitat. Bark scorpions spend the day in tight crevices such as block wall gaps, rock piles and valve boxes, so on these lots the work starts at the back wall rather than inside the house.
How we handle bark scorpionsMaster-planned neighborhoods
Verrado, Sundance, Tartesso, Festival Ranch and Westpark are among the master-planned communities with homes in Buckeye, and new streets are still being graded across the city. Grading strips the cover ants, crickets and spiders were using, and fresh landscaping and irrigation then give them damp soil beside each new slab. That is why ants are often busiest in the first year after a family moves in.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Our coverage runs west to Buckeye, including downtown, Sundance, Verrado, Westpark, Tartesso and Festival Ranch. Appointments are scheduled in advance, the inspection is free, and you get a quote before anything is treated.
They can be. Black widows settle in seldom-disturbed places, and new block walls, garages, patio furniture and stacked building material give them plenty. University of Arizona Extension notes a bite can cause severe pain, cramping and breathing trouble, and that an effective antivenin is available, so anyone bitten should get medical advice.
It can. Mice and other field rodents live in crop rows and along canal banks, and harvest, plowing and flood irrigation all send them looking for new shelter. A garage door that does not seal and gaps around pipes are the usual ways in. Maricopa County names the deer mouse and the cotton rat as hantavirus carriers, so handle droppings with care.
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.
