Precision Pest Control works Gilbert from the Heritage District and Agritopia out through the newer rooftops south of Riggs Road, plus the commercial along San Tan Village and the Loop 202. Gilbert grew faster than almost anywhere in the country, and the pest calls here still trace the farm ground it grew on top of.


Gilbert is a farm town that filled in, and the pest list reflects it. We see field mice and pocket gophers pushing into garages along the still-active ag parcels south of Chandler Heights, crickets in volume every fall, and Argentine ants working irrigation lines in the older Heritage District lots. The Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch keeps mosquito and midge pressure alive on the northeast side. Add bark scorpions in the newer stucco subdivisions, subterranean termites through the whole city, roof rats in mature landscaping, and black widows in block wall weep holes.
The thing that makes Gilbert different is how recently it changed. A subdivision that went up eight years ago is sitting on ground that grew alfalfa or ran dairy cattle, and the rodent and cricket populations that lived there did not relocate, they moved into the nearest structure. That is why we handle Gilbert exclusion work on the boundary rather than at the house. Where a neighborhood backs onto a remaining field or a canal bank, we treat and seal along that line, which stops the traffic before it reaches anybody's garage.
The older core is a separate approach. Around the Heritage District and the original townsite, we are dealing with mature trees, flood irrigation on some lots, and homes with forty or fifty years of settling behind them. Slab cracks, older plumbing penetrations and citrus canopy touching the roof line are the entry points there, and no amount of perimeter spray substitutes for closing them. We inspect the property first, tell you which of the two Gilberts you are actually living in, and build the plan around that.
