Many of Gilbert’s subdivisions were built on former farmland, and the crickets, ants and field mice that lived in those fields move toward the homes that replaced them.
Gilbert is a town in Maricopa County, incorporated in 1920 and described as the most populous incorporated town in the United States. It lies south of Mesa, northeast of Chandler and northwest of Queen Creek. The town grew after William Bobby Gilbert gave land to the Arizona Eastern Railway in 1902, and from 1911 into the late 1920s it was known as the Hay Shipping Capital of the World. Most of its neighborhoods stand on farmland once watered by the Eastern and Consolidated canals.

From the Heritage District to the farmland neighborhoods
The Heritage District and the original town site
The Heritage District, designated in 1989 as the downtown redevelopment area, centers on Gilbert Road and the town’s landmark water tower. The streets around it have the oldest houses in town, with mature shade, older block walls and backyard trees. Hollow block walls and irrigation valve boxes are where the Turkestan cockroach lives, according to University of Arizona Extension, which describes it as mainly an outdoor species found across the Phoenix area.
How we handle roachesThe Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch
The Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch covers 110 acres, 70 of them in seven groundwater recharge basins, and the water and dense planting there support a great deal of insect life. On your own lot, earwigs are the tell for moisture: finding them indoors usually points at a leak, damp mulch or overwatered beds against the foundation. Val Vista Lakes, a lakeside neighborhood, has the same mix of water and shade close to homes.
How we handle earwigsMorrison Ranch, Agritopia and the farm grid
Morrison Ranch was the Morrison family’s cotton, corn and alfalfa farm, and Agritopia, a 166-acre neighborhood, was the Johnston family’s hay farm. Gilbert is still laid out on the farm grid of section-line roads such as Gilbert, Val Vista, Higley and Power. Field mice, crickets and ants that lived in the crops move to the nearest shelter when a field is graded, and the nearest shelter is often a new garage or block wall.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
We do. Gilbert is part of the Phoenix-metro area we serve, from the Heritage District and Val Vista Lakes out to Power Ranch, Morrison Ranch and the newer streets near the Santan Freeway. Book a time that suits you; the inspection costs nothing and neither does the quote.
They do. Fewer Gilbert homes border open desert than homes on the edges of the metro, but bark scorpions live in established neighborhoods too, wherever they find crevices and insects to eat: block walls, landscape rock, valve boxes and stacked pavers. Cutting down the crickets and clearing clutter along the walls is part of keeping them out.
Fresh landscaping, new irrigation and a disturbed lot next door all push insects toward a new house. Grading takes away the cover crickets and ants were using, and the irrigated beds along a new foundation give them damp soil right at the slab. Treating the yard and the perimeter together and keeping sprinklers off the walls helps most.
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.
