Large lots against Camelback and Mummy Mountain give Paradise Valley homes long perimeters and constant scorpion pressure off the rock.

The Town of Paradise Valley is a Maricopa County town of about 16 square miles, incorporated in 1961 and surrounded by Phoenix and Scottsdale. It is separate from the Paradise Valley village of the City of Phoenix. The town is zoned almost entirely for single-family homes, and most of it is zoned R-43, which requires lots of at least one acre. Camelback Mountain lies along the southern edge of town, Mummy Mountain dominates its center, and Piestewa Peak rises to the west.

The Town of Paradise Valley

Large lots between Camelback and Mummy Mountain

The north side of Camelback Mountain

Homes on the north side of Camelback Mountain are built into steep, rocky slopes with natural desert between them. Bark scorpions shelter in rock crevices by day and climb well, so a house set into the mountain has rock touching it in places a valley-floor home does not. Sealing gaps where rock, patios and walls meet the house is the start of the work here.

How we handle bark scorpions

Mummy Mountain and Indian Bend Wash

Mummy Mountain rises in the middle of town, ringed by hillside lots with long driveways and boulder landscaping, and Indian Bend Wash runs through town, and no construction is allowed inside it. Lots like these have more edge than most: a long property line, retaining walls, washes and rock close to the house. The 4D Barrier puts a treated band along the fence line and through the yard before the home perimeter, which suits a lot with this much edge.

How the 4D Barrier works

Mature citrus and long perimeter walls

Much of the town was settled after World War II on lots of one to five acres, and many of those lots now have mature citrus, palms, hedges and long block walls. Roof rats feed on the fruit and travel along walls and branches to the roof, and on sour citrus they eat the rind and leave the fruit hanging. Keeping limbs and fronds off the roofline and picking up fallen fruit takes away their route and their food.

The 4D Barrier Pest Defense System

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

    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. Paradise Valley is one of the towns we cover, and we work on hillside and valley-floor lots alike. Appointments are set in advance, and we inspect the property and quote the work at no charge. Every service is guaranteed for 30 days.

They can be. University of Arizona Extension notes roof rats are much more active in the cooler months when citrus is ripening, and a large lot with fruit, palms and dense hedges gives them food and cover. Scratching overhead at night and hollowed fruit on the tree are the usual signs.

It can. Washes hold native brush and debris that shelter rodents, scorpions and spiders, and the town asks residents to keep the washes on their own property maintained. Keeping that growth cleared back from the house and walls removes cover close to the home.

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.
