Scottsdale homes backing onto preserve land and wash corridors live beside bark scorpion habitat, along with the other desert pests that follow the washes in.
Scottsdale is a Maricopa County city on the east side of the Phoenix metro. It runs north from Tempe to the Tonto National Forest, with Phoenix and the Town of Paradise Valley to the west and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and Fountain Hills to the east. The south end is older and greener, and the north end is newer and built into the desert, so the two call for different pest work.
Scottsdale neighborhoods
Pest pressure from south Scottsdale to the McDowell Mountains
South Scottsdale and Old Town
The Arizona Canal runs past Old Town, and the neighborhoods to its south hold many of the city’s older ranch homes, with grass yards, mature trees and backyard citrus. Branches and vines that reach the roof give roof rats a way up, and the slab edges and weep screeds of older stucco give ants and roaches a way in.
How we handle roof ratsThe Indian Bend Wash greenbelt
The Indian Bend Wash greenbelt carries floodwater through the city in a corridor of parks, lakes, paths and golf courses about 12 miles long, and neighborhoods such as McCormick Ranch sit along it. All that irrigated turf and water keeps the soil damp and shaded beside the homes on its edges, which suits crickets, earwigs and roaches. Mosquitoes breed wherever water stands for several days, especially after monsoon storms.
How we handle mosquitoesNorth Scottsdale and the McDowell Sonoran Preserve
North Scottsdale includes DC Ranch, Grayhawk and the Pinnacle Peak area, with the McDowell Mountains along the city’s northeast edge. The McDowell Sonoran Preserve is planned to cover nearly a third of the city’s land. Granite boulders, rock landscaping and natural desert left between homes give bark scorpions the tight, shaded crevices they hide in by day, and homes that back onto the preserve border their natural habitat.

Yes. Scottsdale is in our Phoenix-metro service area, and we schedule visits from south Scottsdale and McCormick Ranch up to DC Ranch, Grayhawk and the Pinnacle Peak area. The inspection and the quote are free, and every service is guaranteed for 30 days.
It can. Irrigated turf, lakes and dense plantings keep the ground cool and damp, which suits crickets, earwigs and roaches, and those insects are what bark scorpions hunt. Keeping sprinklers off the foundation, trimming plants back from the walls, and treating the yard and the perimeter together are the usual first steps.
Bark scorpions spend daylight hours pressed into tight crevices, and the gaps under boulders, landscape rock and stacked stone stay shaded and cool. University of Arizona Cooperative Extension describes the bark scorpion as a proficient climber, so once it reaches the house it can travel up walls and across ceilings. Sealing gaps around doors, weep screeds and utility lines matters as much as treating the rock.
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.
