Built into the McDowell foothills, Fountain Hills homes sit directly in bark scorpion habitat.
Fountain Hills is a town in Maricopa County on the east side of the McDowell Mountains, northeast of Scottsdale. It was founded in December 1970 and incorporated in 1989. It borders the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation to the east, the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community to the south and McDowell Mountain Regional Park to the north, with Scottsdale and the McDowell Mountains to the west. The town climbs from about 1,520 feet at the fountain to about 3,000 feet along Golden Eagle Boulevard.

Hillside lots and washes in Fountain Hills
The regional park and the town preserve
McDowell Mountain Regional Park lies along the town’s northern edge, and the town keeps its own Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preserve in the mountains to the west. Homes in the upper neighborhoods back onto that open land, and bark scorpions, black widows and rodents move between the desert and the yards. Bark scorpions are the one to take seriously: University of Arizona Extension calls them the only scorpion of medical concern in the United States.
How we handle bark scorpionsFountain Park and Fountain Lake
The fountain in Fountain Park, built in 1970 and once the tallest in the world, runs for about 15 minutes every hour from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., rising about 300 feet and up to 560 feet on special occasions. It rises from Fountain Lake, which is filled with reclaimed water. The park lawns and the irrigated yards nearby keep the ground damp, which suits crickets and earwigs, while mosquitoes need only water that sits still for about a week in a saucer or a drain.
How we handle earwigsHillsides, washes and dark skies
Hillside streets wind around washes that keep native brush and boulders running between neighborhoods, giving rodents and spiders a covered route to back walls. Fountain Hills was named an International Dark Sky Community in 2018, the 17th in the world, and outdoor lighting matters for pests too. Bright lights aimed at a wall pull crickets to the house at night, and crickets draw scorpions, so warmer bulbs pointed at the ground mean fewer crickets at the doors.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Fountain Hills is on our list of East Valley towns, and we treat homes on hillside and valley lots across it. We arrange a time with you, inspect for free and then quote before any work starts.
They sit beside open desert where bark scorpions already live, and boulders, retaining walls and rock landscaping give them shelter right at the house. Extension advises managing scorpions by changing the habitat around the home, so clearing debris, sealing gaps and treating the yard and fence line all come before the interior.
It does. Bright light aimed at the walls draws crickets to the house at night, and scorpions follow the crickets. Shielded fixtures with warmer bulbs aimed at the ground reduce how many gather at doors and windows.
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.
