Typical job

What homeowners notice: Homeowners on a block-ranch street find scorpions on a garage wall or a bedroom ceiling in the warm months. The yard is divided by hollow-block walls, with river rock along the base.
What we do: The technician inspects the garage, door seals, wall caps, rock beds and irrigation boxes, explains which gaps and surfaces give shelter, and treats the areas the owner approves. Sealing and stucco or capping of block walls are discussed as separate options.
What to expect: Sightings often drop once shelter and entry points are dealt with, though no yard becomes scorpion-free, and the owner leaves with a written list of what was treated and what to fix.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: In the cooler months a family hears scratching in the ceiling at night. Ripe oranges lie half-eaten in the yard, and the trees reach toward the roofline.
What we do: The technician checks the eaves, roof vents and gaps along the roofline, and looks at palms, power lines and rock fences that give rats a route. Bait stations or snap traps are placed where activity is found, and the owner is told to pick ripe fruit promptly.
What to expect: Noise usually fades as the activity is dealt with and entry points are closed, and the technician explains what follow-up checks make sense.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: In May a cluster of bees settles on a block wall near a patio door. The family cannot use the yard and a neighbour's children are playing nearby.
What we do: The technician keeps people and pets away, assesses whether the bees are a swarm or an established hive, explains the approach and the price, and removes the cluster once the owner approves.
What to expect: The patio is usable again, and the owner hears how to spot gaps and cavities where bees might return next season.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A day or two after a July storm, a homeowner finds winged insects and shed wings on a windowsill. The home is part of a subdivision built mostly in the 1980s.
What we do: The technician confirms what the insects are, inspects the foundation edge, walls, garage and attic access, and explains the findings. If a wood-destroying insect report is needed, it is prepared by a licensee in the right categories.
What to expect: The owner has a clear idea of whether termites are present, what options exist and what each would cost before agreeing to anything.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: After a heavy storm, large roaches appear near a bathroom drain and a kitchen sink in an older building. American cockroaches live in sewers and can come up through pipes.
What we do: The technician inspects drains, pipe penetrations, baseboards and common areas, treats the points where the roaches enter, and points out gaps that the owner or building manager should seal.
What to expect: Activity commonly falls once entry routes are treated, and the owner is told what to report to the manager if sightings continue.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A builder on a former farm parcel needs a termite treatment before the concrete slab goes down and wants it to follow Arizona's pre-treatment standard.
What we do: The licensed company applies a horizontal barrier before the slab is poured and a vertical barrier in critical areas, and files the paperwork it owes the state within the stated deadline.
What to expect: The builder has the treatment on record before the slab is poured, which is far simpler than correcting it afterwards.
