Precision Pest Control covers Scottsdale from Old Town and the Indian Bend Wash greenbelt north through the McDowell Sonoran Preserve boundary and the desert lots beyond the 101. Residential and commercial, and in a city this long and this narrow, a home in south Scottsdale and a home in the north foothills need different plans.


Scottsdale runs about thirty miles north to south and the pest pressure changes the whole way up. On the preserve boundary in the north foothills we deal with bark scorpions in volume, plus pack rats nesting in engine bays and utility boxes, black widows, desert centipedes, tarantula hawks and the occasional rattlesnake call. The golf corridors and the Indian Bend Wash greenbelt bring turf pests, mosquitoes and roof rats in the mature landscaping. Old Town and the resort district add German cockroaches and bed bugs, which come with hospitality volume anywhere in the country.
Bill with Desert Mountain Pool Cleaning in Scottsdale mentions that "when cleaning swimming pools, out of all the pests I see, scorpions seem to stand out the most. They always seem to find their way in, even though they can't swim."
Homes along the McDowell Sonoran Preserve are the hardest scorpion accounts in the Valley and there is no way to shortcut them. The desert does not stop at the property line, it just meets a wall, and the wall is usually hollow block with weep holes. We treat these properties from the outside in, sealing weep holes, stucco expansion joints, roof tile ends and garage door seals, then treating the wall base and the granite line. We verify with a black light sweep after dark, because in Scottsdale a daytime inspection tells you very little about what is actually living on the property.
The greenbelt and golf side is a different piece of work. Irrigated turf running through the middle of a desert city concentrates moisture, and that concentration shows up as mosquitoes, turf insects and rodents in the adjacent landscaping. We treat the transition zone between irrigated ground and desert landscaping, which is where the pressure actually sits, instead of blanketing both. Same technician each visit, and a written record of what was found and where, which matters when an HOA or a property manager needs the history.
