What we treat
Glendale Termite, Rodent and Scorpion Service Old Town to West Side
Desert subterranean termites
In an older Glendale home, the soil treatment applied during construction has most likely worn off. The desert subterranean termite builds mud tubes from the soil up foundations, around plumbing that comes through the slab, and into framing. Stucco that runs below the soil line hides those tubes, so Extension recommends keeping about 4 inches of stem wall visible and moving sprinklers and shrubs at least 18 inches away.
Roof rats
Where an older Glendale lot still has mature citrus or tall evergreen trees, roof rats find the cover they prefer. Maricopa County Environmental Services investigates roof rat complaints, and Extension notes the rats hollow out fruit and gnaw on wiring, a fire hazard. Signs include pointed, banana-shaped droppings in the attic or garage, chewed insulation and scratching overhead at night. Pick fruit promptly and trim trees back from the roof.
Arizona bark scorpions
Scorpions can be a problem in both corners of Glendale. In older areas they live in block walls, woodpiles and wall voids. Extension agents also say new subdivisions and rural lots tend to see scorpions move indoors, and houses near rivers and washes may get more of them after monsoon floods. Keep bedding off the floor, shake out shoes, and have entry points sealed so the ones outside stay there.
Mosquitoes and West Nile virus
Maricopa County runs year-round mosquito surveillance and sets more than 800 traps a week across the county. At home, the job is to remove standing water: flowerpot saucers, buckets, birdbaths, fountains and kiddie pools. Culex mosquitoes, which carry West Nile virus here, bite from evening to early morning. Use an EPA-registered repellent outdoors and keep window and door screens in good repair.
Crickets
Two kinds show up in Glendale homes. Field crickets, dark brown to black and a little over an inch long, live and breed outdoors but wander in and chew fabric and carpet, especially clothing with food or sweat stains. Indian house crickets, smaller and tan, can breed indoors. Weather stripping, tight garage doors, less outdoor lighting and clearing plant debris from the foundation cut down on both.
Spotted something?
Below 4,000 feet the arid land termite swarms in these months. It is not usually a structural pest and only needs treatment if it turns up inside. Roof rats are busy now too, since backyard oranges are still hanging, so check under trees for hollowed fruit.
Honey bee swarms are most common in spring. Turkestan cockroaches reach peak numbers in June, and males fly to lights on warm nights. Clean out irrigation and water meter boxes, which roaches and bees both use, and put screens over them.
Desert subterranean termites fly after summer storms, so winged termites near windows after a storm deserve a closer look. Rain also flushes scorpions out of their refuges and fills yard containers that breed mosquitoes. Tip out water within a day or two after each storm.
Describe it on the phone and we will tell you what it likely is and how we would treat it. Estimates are free.

Yes, older Glendale homes should be inspected at least twice a year, in spring and again after the monsoon. The original soil treatment under an older house has usually broken down, and desert subterranean termites attack dry wood as well as damp wood. Look for mud tubes on the stem wall and hollow-sounding trim.
Scratching or running sounds overhead at night, dark droppings with pointed ends, and torn insulation are the usual signs. Outside, look for hollowed citrus rinds under trees and chewed wires. Roof rats breed quickly, so it is best to seal and trap as soon as you notice activity.
It is a concern across Maricopa County, and Glendale is no exception. Infection can cause fever with headache, body aches, joint pain, vomiting or rash, and severe cases can lead to encephalitis or meningitis. Removing standing water around your home and using repellent in the evening are the most practical protections.
Glendale pricing starts at $57 after a free estimate. A century-old bungalow in Catlin Court, an Arrowhead Ranch home with block walls and a restaurant near Westgate each need different work, so we price after looking at the property. To get numbers for your own address, request the free estimate on our site.
Yes, commercial service is part of what we do alongside homes and real estate. For restaurants, shops and venues from downtown Glendale to the Westgate Entertainment District, we check kitchens, storage rooms and trash areas, where roaches, crickets and rodents look for food. A free Westgate-area estimate is one phone call to (512) 561-7451 away.
We look at wood close to the soil line, the places where pipes and wires enter and the attic, then explain what we found. In older Glendale houses the original soil treatment has usually worn off, so mud tubes on the stem wall matter. Buyers, sellers and agents all hear the same results. Set one up online or by calling (512) 561-7451.
We use eco-friendly products and aim treatment at the soil line, wall voids and entry points instead of fruit trees and lawn. Older Glendale lots often have mature citrus, which draws roof rats, so we also advise on picking fruit and trimming branches off the roof.

Glendale grew from a canal and farm town into the home of State Farm Stadium. Its houses range from century-old bungalows near downtown to newer tracts around Arrowhead Ranch, and each era has its own pest weak spots.
Counted at 248,325 people in 2020, Glendale lies at roughly 1,152 feet on the west side of the Valley. The town exists because of water: William John Murphy finished the 40-mile Arizona Canal in 1885, platted a townsite in 1895 and built Grand Avenue to link it to Phoenix. Farms and orchards followed, a beet sugar factory opened in 1906, and cotton is still grown on farms along Loop 101.
Today the city includes the Catlin Court Historic District, the Arrowhead Ranch area around a mall that opened in 1993, and the Westgate Entertainment District next to State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena. The New River and Agua Fria River run through its western edge. Older wood-framed houses, irrigated lots and desert washes all sit within one Glendale service area, so we match the plan to the house in front of us.
Local field notes
What our technicians check first on a Glendale property
Unique to Glendale
Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Glendale details that shape every plan we write here.
Catlin Court was platted in 1914 and filled in with bungalows, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. With homes about a century old, we pay close attention to wood near the soil line, which Extension says should sit at least six inches above grade, and to gaps where pipes and wires enter. We inspect for termites, seal rodent entry points and treat in ways that respect original materials.
Newer parts of the city, including Arrowhead Ranch, face a different mix. Block walls favor scorpions, and irrigation boxes attract roaches and bees. Keep wood mulch and firewood away from the stem wall, make sure drip lines are not soaking the foundation, and schedule a termite check if the house is more than five years old.
From Catlin Court to the west side, dial (512) 561-7451 or request a no-cost estimate online, and Glendale plans start at $57.
