Gold Canyon sits near the Superstition Wilderness, and homes on its edges back onto open desert where scorpions and other desert pests live.

Gold Canyon is an unincorporated community in Pinal County, southeast of Apache Junction along US 60, at about 1,900 feet. It had 11,404 residents at the 2020 census and is served by the Pinal County Sheriff, with a county office on Kings Ranch Road. The Superstition Wilderness lies nearby inside the Tonto National Forest, and US 60 continues east through Gold Canyon to the State Route 79 interchange at Florence Junction.

Desert lots near the Superstition Wilderness in Gold Canyon

Peralta Road and the wilderness trailhead

Peralta Road leaves US 60 about 8.5 miles east of Apache Junction and runs 8 miles north to the Peralta Trailhead, where the Peralta Trail climbs to Fremont Saddle and its view of Weavers Needle. Homes nearer that rough, rocky desert see more of what lives in it. Bark scorpions, the one species whose stings University of Arizona Extension rates as hazardous to human health, shelter in the rock and cross into yards at night.

How we handle bark scorpions

Peralta Regional Park and native desert lots

Pinal County opened Peralta Regional Park, 498 acres east of Peralta Road with more than nine miles of trail, in January 2023. Lots that keep their native desert, with boulders, cactus and shrubs left in place, hold black widows, rodents and scorpions close to the house. Clearing the area right around the walls, keeping firewood and stored items away from the house and sealing gaps at doors and weep screeds makes the home itself much less inviting.

How we handle spiders

Washes and storm runoff

Washes that carry storm runoff are dry most of the year and lined with brush, and rodents use them to move around unseen. After monsoon storms, scorpions and insects head for higher, drier ground, which can mean patios, walls and garages. Checking door sweeps and garage seals before the storm season starts keeps more of them outside.

Our system

The 4D Barrier Pest Defense System

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

  1. 1

    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. Gold Canyon is included in our East Valley coverage. We set a time with you, inspect at no charge and quote the job before anything is done.

Focus on the house and the ground right around it. Seal gaps at doors, garage seals, weep screeds and utility openings, keep rock, firewood and debris off the walls, and have the yard and fence line treated along with the perimeter. Extension notes that pesticides alone cannot manage scorpions, so the habitat work matters.

They use washes and brush as travel routes, and homes beside them see more activity. Closing the gaps they use to get into garages, attics and walls, and storing feed and pet food in sealed containers, does more than trapping alone.

Look at it from a distance and leave it alone. An adult female western black widow is glossy black with a red hourglass on the underside of the abdomen, which shows because she usually hangs upside down in her web. Males and young spiders show orange, red and white markings and are often mistaken for another species. Webs near doors are worth treating, along with the voids and clutter they come from.

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.
