Questions new homeowners ask

It depends on the pests, the size of the house and lot, and how many visits the plan has. After the first visit you get a written quote that lists the first-visit fee, the cost of each visit and the year's total. We don't quote a house we haven't looked at.

Scorpions are most active at night, and they glow under ultraviolet light, so a blacklight shows where they are. We walk the yard and the walls at dusk or later, by appointment, and mark what we find on your report. If we find nothing, the report says that too.

New houses aren't pest-proof. Gaps at stucco lines, garage doors and pipe openings are common, and the land around many new builds is still open desert. A first visit shows what, if anything, your house needs. You decide after reading the report.

Licensed applicators follow the product label. We tell you which areas to keep children and pets away from, and for how long, and you can ask for our product list before we start.

For most homes, ants and roaches slow down within a week or two, though it varies. Scorpions are different: they live in the desert around the house, so the goal is fewer sightings and sealed gaps, not none. Your report says what we'd expect and what to watch.

Call us. Within 30 days of a treatment we return and re-treat the same areas at no charge for the pests named on your report. The full terms are on the plans page.

No long contract is needed. A plan can be canceled any time by phone or email, and billing stops after the visit already on the schedule.

For the first visit, yes if you can: you point out what you've noticed, and we walk the rooms with you. For later visits we treat the outside, and we ask you to unlock gates and secure pets. The blacklight walk happens in the yard, and we can do it with you or without you.

We inspect for termites, and the all-year-plus-checks plan includes a yearly inspection. A termite report describes what we saw on the day. It isn't a guarantee, and it can't see inside walls we can't reach.

We work across the Valley and Pinal County; the towns are listed above. Weekday visits run between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., and blacklight walks are booked at dusk. Call or text and we'll find a time.
