Serving Chandler

Why Chandler homeowners choose First Inspection

First Inspection Termite & Pest provides residential and commercial pest control in Chandler, Arizona, including scorpions, termites, rodents, ants, roaches and spiders. We're family-owned, the inspection and the quote are free, and every service is guaranteed for 30 days.

Chandler’s irrigated lots and greenbelts hold moisture that draws crickets, roaches and the scorpions that hunt them.

Chandler is a Maricopa County city in the Southeast Valley. Dr. Alexander John Chandler, the territory’s first veterinary surgeon, founded it in 1912, and it incorporated in 1920. Tempe and Mesa lie to the north, Gilbert and Queen Creek to the east, and Gila River Indian Community and county land to the south, with Interstate 10 along the western edge and Ahwatukee just across it. Early farmers here raised ostriches for hat plumes, and the Santan and Price freeways now divide the city into North, West and South Chandler.

Pests across Chandler, from the downtown square to Ocotillo

Downtown and the older neighborhoods

Historic downtown Chandler is built around Dr. A.J. Chandler Park, and the streets around it hold some of the city’s oldest homes, with mature trees, older stucco and backyard citrus. Roof rats travel along fences, vines and branches, and University of Arizona Extension puts their usual range at about 120 yards from the nest, so one yard with fruit and cover can supply rats to the whole block.

How we handle roof rats

Canals, recharge basins and Veterans Oasis Park

The Paseo Trail follows the Consolidated Canal for 6.5 miles, and the Highline and Kyrene Branch canals cross west Chandler. Veterans Oasis Park covers 113 acres, 78 of them built for groundwater recharge and wetlands, with a five-acre fishing lake and the Chandler Nature Center. On a home lot, mosquitoes need far less: a plant saucer, a tarp or a blocked roof drain that holds water for about a week. Monsoon storms fill all of those at once, which is why activity climbs a week or two after a storm.

South Chandler and Ocotillo

Ocotillo, south of the Santan Freeway, was mostly farmland in the 1970s, and its lakes are now filled with reclaimed water. Farther south, neighborhoods run toward the city’s southern edge, where Gila River Indian Community and county land begin. Homes on that edge see crickets, black widows and bark scorpions come in off the open ground. Crickets gathered under a bright porch light are scorpion food, so lighting aimed at the ground helps on these lots.

Our system

The 4D Barrier Pest Defense System

Four treated barriers between the desert and your Chandler home: the fence line, the yard, the home perimeter and the interior.

How it works

    The Fence Line

    Pests hit at the property line, before they reach your yard..

  2. 2

    The Yard

    Pests hit at pool decks, rock rivers, and grass borders where insects naturally harbor..

  3. 3

    The Home Perimeter

    Pests hit at the entire home perimeter. We treat and dust all exterior doors, including garage doors.

  4. 4

    The Interior

    The last line of defense. Usually only needed once or twice a year..

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Chandler sits inside our Phoenix-metro service area, so we cover downtown, the Price Road corridor, Ocotillo, Andersen Springs and the south end of the city. Visits are set by appointment, and we look at the property and price the work at no cost to you.

Storms leave water sitting in containers, low spots and drains while the weather is still hot, and mosquitoes only need water that stands for about a week to breed. Tipping out saucers, buckets and toys and clearing roof drains after each storm removes most of what feeds the next wave. Treatment then has far less to deal with.

They are present all year, but Extension reports a big rise in roof rat activity between November and May, the months when backyard citrus carries fruit. Hollowed oranges, or sour citrus with the rind eaten and the fruit left hanging, are the usual first sign, along with scratching overhead at night.

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.
