Precision Pest Control works Tucson from the older barrio and midtown neighborhoods out to the foothills subdivisions and the newer construction on the northwest and southeast edges. The Sonoran Desert here is wetter and greener than the Phoenix side of the state, and the monsoon season governs almost everything about pest timing.


Tucson gets more summer rain than Phoenix and it shows in what we deal with. Bark scorpions and Arizona giant hairy scorpions are constant, and both surge after storms. Giant desert centipedes, tarantulas, desert recluse spiders and black widows follow the same pattern. Sonoran desert toads appear in yards during the wet weeks. Add pack rats in vehicles and equipment, roof rats in the mature citrus of midtown, Africanized honey bee colonies, subterranean termites throughout, and mosquitoes breeding in anything that holds monsoon water.
Monsoon is the organizing fact of pest work in this city and treating on a rigid monthly schedule ignores it. When a storm saturates the ground, everything living in burrows and soil gets flooded out at once, and scorpions, centipedes and toads move to higher, drier ground within hours, which is a patio, a garage or a house. The productive window is right around those storms, not on the fifteenth of the month. We watch the forecast for our Tucson accounts and adjust service into that window, which is a far better use of a treatment than applying it during a dry stretch.
The rest of the year, Tucson work splits by neighborhood age. Midtown and the older barrio housing is adobe, block and stucco with decades of settling, so cracks, original plumbing chases and mature citrus canopy are the routes in. Newer foothills and northwest construction is desert interface work, where sealing weep holes, tile roof ends and garage seals does most of the job. We inspect and tell you which situation you are in rather than selling the same package citywide.
