What we treat

Exterminator Services We Offer in Scottsdale

Scottsdale Scorpion, Kissing Bug and Pack Rat Service

Arizona bark scorpions

Scorpion Control in Scottsdale

The bark scorpion is the only Arizona scorpion considered life threatening. It shelters under rocks, logs, loose bark and other objects on the ground, and it prefers hollow block walls when they are available. Extension agents note that homes near washes and arroyos can see scorpions arrive during monsoon storms after being washed downstream. A UV flashlight shows them glowing from several yards away, which makes a quick evening patrol around the patio worthwhile.

Kissing bugs

Kissing Bug Control in Scottsdale

Kissing bugs, also called conenose bugs, are blood feeders that live with pack rats and other wildlife. Adults disperse from May through July, flying to porch and patio lights after dark. At dawn they look for a way inside through gaps under doors or around window screens, then hide near beds. The bite itself is painless, yet sensitivity builds with each one, and some people eventually react severely; swelling or trouble breathing calls for medical care.

Pack rats

Pack Rat and Rodent Control in Scottsdale

Pack rats are the reason kissing bugs show up. They build middens of sticks, cactus joints and debris at the base of cholla, shrubs and boulders, and a single den may stay in use for years. Around a house they chew wiring and nibble garden and landscape plants, and they will move into a garage or attic that is left open. We look for dens along walls and under plantings and close the gaps rodents use to get in.

Western black widows

Black Widow and Spider Control in Scottsdale

The adult female is shiny black with a red hourglass on the underside; males and young spiders show orange, red and white markings. Black widows are shy and stay in seldom-disturbed spots such as crawl spaces, cluttered storage and other corners people rarely touch. Wear gloves when reaching into those places. Weather stripping, screen repair and cutting down the insects they eat keep more of them outside.

Africanized honey bees

Bee Removal in Scottsdale

All wild honey bees in Arizona carry Africanized genes to some degree, and they react to threats over longer distances than managed bees. Colonies set up in wall voids, attics, hollow trees and irrigation boxes. On golf-course lots and large yards, mowers, blowers and hedge trimmers are common triggers. If you see bees steadily entering one opening, stay back, keep pets inside and have the colony removed rather than sealing the hole with bees still inside.

Seasonal Pest Control in Scottsdale

  1. Winter visitor season

    Scottsdale draws thousands of snowbirds each winter. If your home sits closed for the hot months, arrange service before you leave and ask someone to run faucets and flush toilets so drain traps stay full, which keeps sewer roaches from climbing up.

  2. Kissing bug flights, May to July

    This is when adult kissing bugs leave pack rat dens and fly toward lights. Switch porch fixtures to yellow bulbs or turn them off, check door sweeps, and look under mattresses and along bed frames if anyone wakes up with itchy, swollen bites.

  3. Monsoon, July to September

    Storm runoff moves scorpions out of washes and flooded hiding spots, and desert subterranean termites swarm after rain. Walk the stem wall of the house after the season for mud tubes and check block walls and patio edges for scorpions.

Scottsdale Pest Control FAQ

Looking for pest control near you in Scottsdale? Call (512) 561-7451 or request a free estimate.

Are kissing bugs common in Scottsdale?

Kissing bugs do turn up around Scottsdale homes, mostly where pack rat dens sit nearby on lots bordering natural desert. Adults fly to lights from May through July and can slip in under doors. Reducing outdoor lighting, sealing gaps and removing pack rat nests near the house lowers the risk of bites.

Why do I find more scorpions after monsoon storms in Scottsdale?

Heavy rain floods scorpions out of their hiding places, and homes near washes can get scorpions carried in by runoff. They then look for dry, sheltered spots such as block walls, garages and the gaps under doors. A treatment plus sealing work after storms helps keep them from settling in.

Should I schedule pest service before leaving Scottsdale for the summer?

Yes, a service visit shortly before you leave is a good idea. An empty house with dry drains and no one watching gives roaches, rodents and scorpions time to settle in. Have a neighbor or house watcher run the water now and then and check for droppings or dead insects.

How is pest service priced in Scottsdale?

Scottsdale plans run from $57 with no fee for the estimate. The price follows your address and the pests involved: a condo near Old Town is quoted differently from a large lot in DC Ranch bordering open desert, with pack rat dens and scorpion cover. Describe the property on the web form or dial (512) 561-7451.

Do you treat resorts, restaurants and golf properties?

Yes, businesses are covered along with homes. For a Scottsdale restaurant, resort or golf property the work typically centers on kitchens, patios, drains and planted beds, where roaches, crickets and scorpions look for water and cover. Eco-friendly products are our standard, and an estimate costs you nothing.

What does a termite inspection involve when I sell a Scottsdale home?

We look at the structure, the stem wall and the yard walls for signs of desert subterranean termites such as mud tubes, and we note scorpion, rodent and other pest activity. The findings go to buyer, seller and agent in a form they can use to settle repairs. Estimates for real estate inspections are free.

What draws wild honey bees to a Scottsdale yard?

Wild colonies settle into irrigation boxes, hollow trees, attics and wall voids, so large yards and golf-course lots offer plenty of cavities. Mowers, blowers and hedge trimmers often set them off. If bees steadily enter one opening, keep your distance with pets indoors and arrange removal instead of plugging the hole.

Why Scottsdale Is a Hotspot for Pests

Scottsdale stretches 31 miles from the Salt River to the Tonto National Forest. A condo near Old Town and a house below the McDowell Mountains share a city name, yet they rarely share the same pest list.

With 241,361 residents as of 2020, Scottsdale occupies the northern reaches of the Sonoran Desert at roughly 2,165 feet. Its story began in 1888, when Army chaplain Winfield Scott bought 640 acres where Old Town now stands. After a major flood in 1972, the city turned the Indian Bend Wash into a 12-mile greenbelt of parks and paths instead of a concrete channel, finishing the work in 1984.

From 1978 on came master-planned communities such as Scottsdale Ranch, Gainey Ranch, Desert Mountain, McDowell Mountain Ranch and DC Ranch, and golf became part of the city's identity. Farther north and east, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve is planned to cover about 36,000 acres, nearly a third of the city. The closer a Scottsdale home sits to that open desert, the more native wildlife, and the insects that follow it, turn up at the door.

What Makes Scottsdale Different for Pest Control

South Scottsdale blocks versus preserve-edge lots

Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Scottsdale details that shape every plan we write here.

  1. In south and central Scottsdale, including McCormick Ranch and the neighborhoods near Old Town, the work looks like most of the Valley: roaches coming up drains, crickets drawn to lights, termites in older construction and scorpions in block walls. Keeping irrigation away from the foundation and sealing weep holes and pipe gaps solves a lot.

  2. Where a lot backs onto the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, or native plants and boulders run right up to the walls, conditions change. That setting favors pack rat dens, which in turn bring kissing bugs, and gives scorpions endless cover. Here we inspect the whole lot, including rock features and cactus beds, not just the walls.
