Like its neighbor, Sun City West combines slab-on-grade construction with mature landscaping, a combination that suits both termites and roaches.
Sun City West is an unincorporated community in Maricopa County, about 23 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix, with 25,806 residents at the 2020 census. Ground was broken on February 15, 1978, the first residents arrived that October, and the community was fully built out in 1997 with about 16,900 homes. It lies west of Sun City across the Agua Fria River, Surprise borders it on the south, west and north, and Grand Avenue runs along its southwest edge. Before development the land was a cattle ranch nicknamed Lizard Acres.

Golf courses, the river edge and maturing landscapes in Sun City West
Fairways and irrigated common areas
Golf courses wind through Sun City West, and many homes sit along a fairway. Watered turf and shaded beds against the house keep the soil cool and moist, which crickets look for, and the crickets in turn feed scorpions. Moving mulch and dense shrubs back from the foundation and fixing drip lines that wet the stucco cut down both.
How we handle cricketsThe Agua Fria River edge
The Agua Fria River corridor runs along the east side of the community, a broad sandy channel with brush that is dry most of the year. Bark scorpions, black widows and rodents live in that cover and cross into the yards of the homes nearest the river. A treated fence line and yard stops more of them before they reach the house.
How we handle bark scorpionsMature trees and roof rats
The homes were built between 1978 and 1997, and the trees, hedges and citrus planted with them are now full size, with branches that often touch the roof. Roof rats use those branches and the tops of walls to reach the roofline and attic vents. Trimming limbs back from the roof and picking up fallen fruit takes away both the route and the food.

We do. Sun City West is part of the Northwest Valley we cover, and appointments can be set around your schedule. Inspections and quotes are free, and every service comes with a 30-day guarantee.
The riverbed next to those streets is natural cover for scorpions and the insects they eat. They come into yards at night and shelter in block walls, rock and valve boxes. Sealing gaps at doors and weep screeds, clearing debris off the walls and treating the yard together keep more of them out.
It helps. Branches touching the roof give roof rats a path to the attic, and dense shrubs against the walls keep the soil damp and hide entry points. Keeping a gap between plants and the house makes treatment work better and makes problems easier to spot.
They can. Roof rats are climbers that live above ground, in attics, soffits, overhead garage storage and the crowns of palms where old fronds have not been removed. Pointed droppings about a quarter to half an inch long, gnawed fruit and noises overhead at night are the usual signs. Removing the rats and closing the route they used are separate tasks, and both need doing.
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.
