Glendale’s older flood-irrigated neighborhoods hold the moisture that roaches, crickets and termites need.
Glendale is a Maricopa County city in the West Valley, northwest of downtown Phoenix, and it shares long borders with Phoenix and Peoria. The original town site was laid out in the 1890s beside what is now Grand Avenue. Since then the city has grown north to Arrowhead Ranch and the Hedgpeth Hills and west past Loop 101 toward Loop 303, so a bungalow downtown and a new build on the west side deal with different pests.
Glendale neighborhoods
Pest pressure from downtown Glendale to the Hedgpeth Hills
Downtown, Old Towne and Catlin Court
Downtown Glendale is made up of Old Towne and the Catlin Court Historic District, a neighborhood laid out in the 1910s whose bungalows now hold shops. The blocks around the old town site have mature shade trees, backyard citrus and shrubs that have grown up against the walls. That growth gives roof rats a bridge to the roofline and keeps roaches and spiders sheltered in the cool soil beside the foundation.
How we handle roachesThunderbird Conservation Park and north Glendale
Thunderbird Conservation Park protects the Hedgpeth Hills in north Glendale, with its main entrance on 59th Avenue between Deer Valley and Pinnacle Peak roads. Homes that back onto the park sit beside the rocky desert where bark scorpions live. A scorpion that crosses the back wall finds the same kind of shelter in landscape rock, hollow block walls and irrigation valve boxes that it had on the hillside.
How we handle bark scorpionsRiver corridors and the west side
The New River and the Agua Fria River run south through the western edge of the city, and the Arizona Canal crosses Glendale on its way to the New River. Washes and dry riverbeds hold native brush that rodents, spiders and scorpions travel through. Newer neighborhoods on the west side, near Loop 101 and Loop 303, are built close to that open ground, and construction nearby stirs up ants and crickets that then look for shelter at the closest homes.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Yes. All of Glendale is in our Phoenix-metro service area, including Arrowhead Ranch, the neighborhoods around Thunderbird Conservation Park, downtown and Catlin Court, and the newer west side subdivisions near Loop 101 and Loop 303. We work by appointment and do not charge for the inspection or the quote.
New subdivisions there sit next to open ground, washes and lots that are still being graded. Construction disturbs the soil where ants and crickets live, and fresh landscaping and irrigation give them moisture right next to the slab. Crickets also draw scorpions, which feed on them. Treating the yard and the home perimeter together, and keeping irrigation off the foundation, keeps more of that activity outside.
They can. The blocks around the old town site have mature shade trees, backyard citrus and shrubs grown up against the walls, which give roof rats food and a route to the roof. Extension finds them much busier from November to May, while citrus is ripening. Look for hollowed fruit on the tree and listen for scratching above the ceiling 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.
