Mesa’s older established neighborhoods and mature landscaping give scorpions and roof rats plenty of harborage, and desert subterranean termites are active in the soil across the city.
Mesa is the third-largest city in Arizona and the largest in the East Valley, in Maricopa County. It runs from Price Road in the west to Meridian Road in the east and borders Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Apache Junction and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. Center Street divides west Mesa from east Mesa, and the pests change as you move from the irrigated older core out to the desert edges.
Mesa, west to east
Pest pressure from downtown Mesa to the Usery foothills
Downtown, west Mesa and the canal neighborhoods
Mesa’s settlers reused some Hohokam canal routes when they dug their own canals in the 1870s, and Park of the Canals and the Mesa Grande Cultural Park still preserve that history. The older neighborhoods around downtown and in west Mesa, including Dobson Ranch, have mature trees, backyard citrus and irrigated yards, and some established blocks still take flood irrigation. A flooded yard drives crickets, roaches and ants out of the soil toward higher, drier ground, which is often the slab and foundation of the house.
How we handle antsLas Sendas and the Usery foothills
Northeast Mesa climbs toward the Usery Mountains. Las Sendas sits in those foothills beside Usery Mountain Regional Park and the Tonto National Forest. Rocky slopes and desert washes come right up to the back walls here, so bark scorpions and desert spiders move onto these lots from the open land around them, and rodents follow the same washes.
How we handle spidersSoutheast Mesa, Eastmark and the Gateway area
Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, in the southeast corner of the city, occupies the former Williams Air Force Base, which closed in 1993. Around it, newer master-planned communities such as Eastmark, near Ray and Ellsworth roads, sit beside land that is still being graded and built. Construction disturbs the soil where ants, crickets and scorpions live, and fresh block walls, rock and young landscaping give them new shelter right away.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Mesa is part of our Phoenix-metro service area, from downtown and Dobson Ranch in the west to Las Sendas, Eastmark and the neighborhoods around Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in the east. Visits are booked by appointment, and there is no charge for the inspection or the quote.
It can. When a yard is flooded, insects living in the soil and turf, such as crickets, roaches and ants, move toward drier ground, and the slab edge and foundation are often the nearest dry spots. Scorpions follow the insects they eat. Treating the yard and the home perimeter, and checking door sweeps and weep screeds, helps keep that movement outside.
Las Sendas sits in the Usery foothills beside Usery Mountain Regional Park and the Tonto National Forest, so many lots back onto rocky desert where bark scorpions live. They hide by day in crevices and climb well, so sealing gaps at doors and weep screeds, moving rock and debris away from walls, and a treated yard and fence line all help.
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.
