Rock Outcrops Make Great Scorpion Real Estate
Precision Pest Control works Fountain Hills across its hillside and valley lots alike, from the homes stepping up the slopes toward the McDowells down to the streets around Fountain Park. Terrain does more to determine pest pressure in this town than the age or style of the house does.
Fountain Hills is built into rock and the pests take full advantage. Bark scorpions shelter in boulder piles, rock retaining walls and natural outcrops, which are everywhere in this town, and they move onto structures at night. Black widows fill weep holes, valve boxes and the underside of rock ledges. Add desert centipedes, tarantulas, pack rats in landscaping and vehicles, Africanized bee swarms in spring, and the mosquitoes and midges that come off the lake at Fountain Park. Javelina and rattlesnake calls are part of life here.

Rock is the reason this town has the scorpion pressure it does. A boulder field or a stacked rock retaining wall holds temperature and humidity almost perfectly for bark scorpions, and there is no treating your way through a hillside of granite. What works is understanding that the rock is the reservoir and the house is the destination, then breaking the connection between them. We treat the ground line and the base of retaining walls, seal the weep holes and stucco stops, and pay particular attention to where landscape rock or a wall physically touches the structure, which is the bridge.
Hillside construction adds its own openings. Homes stepped into a slope often have multiple levels, deck footings, and utility runs entering at odd heights, and each of those is a potential entry that a flat-lot inspection would never look for. We inspect the whole envelope on these properties, including the underside of decks and the upper level penetrations. Night verification with a black light is standard on scorpion accounts, because on a boulder lot a daytime walk tells you almost nothing about the actual population.
