THE DESERT
DOESN'T STOP
AT YOUR
PROPERTY LINE.
PEORIA • ARIZONA
FROM VISTANCIA'S DESERT EDGE TO PEORIA'S ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS, WHAT'S OUTSIDE HAS A WAY OF FINDING SHELTER.
Peoria changes considerably from south to north. Established neighborhoods can have mature landscaping, irrigation, block walls and garages, while communities farther north sit closer to open desert, washes, rocky terrain and ongoing development.
Those conditions can influence where ants, crickets, spiders, roaches and especially scorpions find food, moisture and shelter.
That's why I look at what's actually happening around your property instead of treating every Peoria home exactly the same.

SOUTH TO NORTH
PEORIAÂ CHANGES
AS YOU HEAD NORTH.
From established neighborhoods farther south to newer communities approaching open desert, Peoria covers very different environments — and pest pressure can change with them.
01 — ESTABLISHED PEORIA
MOISTURE • LANDSCAPING • BLOCK WALLS
Established landscaping, irrigation and protected areas around homes can provide moisture, food and shelter for ants, crickets, roaches and spiders.
02 — THE MIDDLE
HOMES • POOLS • GARAGES • LANDSCAPE ROCK
Around residential neighborhoods, landscape rock, garages, walls and exterior equipment create plenty of protected places for insects — and the predators that follow them.
03 — NORTH PEORIA / DESERT EDGE
OPEN DESERT • WASHES • ROCK • DEVELOPMENT
Homes closer to open desert, washes and rocky terrain sit beside natural pest habitat. Scorpions, spiders, ants and crickets can move from these areas toward homes looking for food, water and shelter. New construction can also disturb existing hiding places and increase activity around nearby properties.
THIS IS WHERE
SCORPIONS GET
MY ATTENTION.
Homes closer to open desert, washes and rocky terrain sit beside natural scorpion habitat. Construction and development can also disturb existing hiding places and change where insects and scorpions move.
THE ZIP CODE MAY SAY PEORIA. THE PROPERTY TELLS ME HOW TO TREAT IT.
I look at the conditions around the home, moisture, shelter, food sources, landscaping and surrounding habitat, before deciding what actually needs attention.
