Sun Lakes’ lakes, golf turf and irrigation hold moisture that draws crickets, roaches and mosquitoes.
Sun Lakes is an unincorporated active adult community of about 5.4 square miles in Maricopa County. It has no town government; it falls under county jurisdiction and is run day to day by three homeowners associations covering five communities: Sun Lakes 1, Cottonwood, Palo Verde, Oakwood and IronWood. Chandler lies to the north and east, Interstate 10 runs about two and a half miles to the west, and Gila River Indian Community land lies to the south, so Sun Lakes has irrigated turf on the inside and open land beyond its southern edge.

Lakes, fairways and the southern edge in Sun Lakes
Homes along the lakes and fairways
Stocked fishing lakes and several golf courses run through Sun Lakes, and many homes face a lake or a fairway. Watered turf and shade keep the soil cool and moist next to the house, which is what crickets and earwigs need, and a heavy cricket population is a reason for scorpions to come in from the edges. Keeping sprinkler spray off the walls and moving mulch back from the slab makes a home less inviting than the fairway beside it.
How we handle cricketsMature shrubs and hidden entry points
The desert subterranean termite is the most common subterranean termite in the Sonoran Desert, and it reaches wood through expansion joints, plumbing entries and the slab edge. Shrubs grown up against the stucco hide those spots, and they also keep the soil beside the house damp. Leaving a gap between plants and walls makes signs such as mud tubes easier to see and keeps that strip of soil drier.
How we handle termite treatmentThe southern edge
Hunt Highway, along the Maricopa and Pinal county line, touches the southern tip of the community, and Gila River Indian Community land lies beyond it. Homes on the outer streets get bark scorpions, black widows and rodents moving in from that open ground. University of Arizona Cooperative Extension describes black widows as shy and found in seldom-disturbed places, which on these lots means behind patio furniture, in garage corners and inside block wall voids.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Sun Lakes falls within our Phoenix-metro service area, and we can schedule service in any of its five communities. A technician comes by appointment, and there is no charge to inspect the home or to quote the work. Every service is guaranteed for 30 days.
They are often desert subterranean termites, which swarm in large numbers on the evening after a monsoon rain, but winged ants swarm too. Termite swarmers have four wings of equal length and drop them in piles near windows and lights. Save a few in a sealed bag and call us so the inspection can confirm which one you have.
The approach is the same, but the yard matters more. A fairway keeps the ground damp right up to the back wall, so the yard and fence line get treated along with the home perimeter. The 4D Barrier is built around those four zones: the fence line, the yard, the perimeter and the interior.
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.
