It depends on your situation, but here’s what we typically recommend for Tucson homes:
- check_circleEvery 60 days — Our most popular plan. Great for general maintenance and keeping common Arizona pests out year-round.
- check_circleMonthly — Best if you’re dealing with an active infestation or live in a high-pest-pressure area (near washes, desert lots, etc.).
- check_circleQuarterly — An option for homes with minimal pest activity.
There’s no pressure — we’ll recommend what makes sense for your situation.
Common Tucson Pests
Yes — the Arizona bark scorpion, the most common species in the Tucson area, can deliver a painful and potentially dangerous sting. While rarely life-threatening for healthy adults, stings can be more serious for young children, elderly family members, and pets. Professional scorpion treatment combined with exclusion sealing around your home is the most effective way to keep them out.
Watch for these common warning signs:
- check_circleMud tubes running along your foundation, walls, or pipes
- check_circleWood that sounds hollow when tapped
- check_circleDiscarded wings near windows or doors (especially after monsoon rains)
- check_circleSmall piles of frass (termite droppings) that look like sawdust
- check_circleBubbling or peeling paint on wood surfaces
If you notice any of these signs, call us right away for a free termite inspection. Early detection can save you thousands in repairs.
Absolutely. Pack rats (wood rats) are one of the most common rodent problems in the Tucson area. Our approach includes:
- looks_oneInspection — We locate nests, entry points, and the extent of the problem.
- looks_twoTrapping & removal — We use safe, effective methods to remove the rodents.
- looks_3Exclusion — We seal entry points so they can’t get back in.
- looks_4Nest cleanup — We remove nesting material to eliminate attractants.
Pack rats can cause serious damage to wiring, AC units, and car engines, so it’s best to deal with them early.
Yes! Weed control is one of our most popular services. We offer both pre-emergent treatments (to stop weeds before they sprout) and post-emergent treatments (to kill existing weeds). Keeping your yard weed-free also helps reduce pest harborage areas around your home.
Your Family's Safety
Absolutely. We use products that are safe for your family and pets when applied as directed. We always let you know if there are any temporary precautions — like keeping pets off treated surfaces until they dry — but in most cases you and your family can go about your day as normal.
We’re fully transparent about every product we apply. All of our treatments use EPA-registered products specifically chosen for effectiveness and safety. Before we start any treatment, we’ll explain exactly what we’re using and why. If you ever want to see a product label or safety data sheet, just ask — we’re happy to share.
