Peoria stretches from established central blocks up into desert foothills, so pest pressure changes a lot depending which end of the city a home sits on.
Peoria is a West Valley city northwest of Phoenix. Most of it lies in Maricopa County, and its northern end extends into Yavapai County. It borders Glendale, Sun City and Surprise, and it runs from Old Town near Grand Avenue up to Lake Pleasant, a reservoir on the Agua Fria River that the city annexed in 1996. Homes at the two ends of the city deal with different pests.

Pest pressure from Old Town Peoria to Lake Pleasant
Old Town and the established south end
Old Town Peoria is the city’s historic core, beside the old Grand Avenue route. The neighborhoods around it and through the south end of the city are the most established, with grass yards, shade trees and irrigated beds. Damp turf and shaded planting are what crickets, earwigs and roaches look for, and a steady cricket population brings the scorpions that hunt them.
How we handle cricketsFletcher Heights, Westbrook Village and the dry riverbeds
The Agua Fria River and the New River both cross Peoria and are usually dry, held back upstream by dams. Neighborhoods such as Fletcher Heights, Westbrook Village and Ventana Lakes sit between Old Town and the northern foothills. A dry riverbed or wash is still a long strip of native cover, and rodents, spiders and scorpions use it to move between open desert and the back walls of the homes beside it.
How we handle rodentsNorth Peoria, Vistancia and the foothills
The north end of the city is desert foothills: Sunrise Mountain, West Wing Mountain, Calderwood Butte and the Hieroglyphic Mountains, with master-planned communities such as Vistancia along Loop 303 and neighborhoods along Lake Pleasant Parkway. These lots border undisturbed Sonoran Desert, so bark scorpions and desert spiders are part of the setting rather than a seasonal visitor, and each new phase of construction disturbs more of their habitat.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Peoria is in our Phoenix-metro service area, from Old Town and the south end of the city to Fletcher Heights, Vistancia and the neighborhoods along Lake Pleasant Parkway. Service is scheduled by appointment, and the inspection and the quote cost nothing.
Those neighborhoods are built into desert that bark scorpions already occupy. Grading removes their natural cover, and a new home adds block walls, landscape rock and irrigation boxes that give them fresh crevices to hide in. University of Arizona Cooperative Extension advises that scorpions are best managed by changing the habitat around a home rather than by pesticides alone, so the work starts at the back wall and the yard, not only inside the house.
They can. The Agua Fria River and the New River are usually dry, but their beds are lined with native brush, and rodents, spiders and scorpions travel along it. Homes beside them benefit from sealed gaps at garage doors, weep screeds and pipes, and from keeping firewood and stored items off the walls, so the cover stops short of the house.
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.
