Precision Pest Control covers Peoria the full length of it, from the historic core and the 83rd Avenue commercial strip north through Vistancia and the subdivisions that end at the Sonoran preserve near Lake Pleasant. It is one of the longest cities in the state, and the north and south ends are not the same service call.


Peoria runs roughly twenty miles north to south and the pests change completely along the way. The older southern blocks give us Argentine ants on irrigated lots, roof rats in mature citrus, silverfish and subterranean termites in homes with decades of settling behind them. North of the 101 and out through Vistancia, it becomes bark scorpions in volume, pack rats in the desert landscaping, black widows in weep holes, giant desert centipedes after a monsoon, and the occasional rattlesnake or javelina call from properties that back onto the preserve.
North Peoria is preserve-interface work and it needs to be treated that way. Subdivisions out toward Lake Pleasant were carved into intact Sonoran desert, so the boundary between a backyard and open habitat is a wall and nothing else. Scorpions do not respect that wall, they live inside it. We seal weep holes, stucco stops, tile roof ends and garage seals, treat the wall base and the decorative granite where scorpions actually sit during the day, and verify at night with a black light. Anything short of that in this part of the city produces a callback in July.
South Peoria is a maintenance job on older housing. Mature landscaping puts branches on roof lines, which is a roof rat highway, and irrigation on the historic lots drives ants and crickets. Here the work is trimming recommendations, sealing roof and soffit gaps, and timing exterior treatment sensibly. We tell homeowners honestly which half of the city they are in and what that means, because a Vistancia plan sold to a homeowner near Old Town is money spent on a problem they do not have.
