Local pest pressure

What Sun City West homes are up against

Sun City West is built around golf courses, recreation centers, and quiet streets, and a lot of homes sit empty for part of the year while owners spend the summer somewhere cooler. A closed-up house is easy for pests to settle into. Roof rats find a quiet attic, roaches move in through drains that haven’t been used in months, and scorpions have the run of the place during their most active season.

Many homes here have mature citrus, gravel yards, and slabs that have been in place for decades, and some back up to the irrigated fairways that keep crickets and the scorpions that hunt them active. Smite is based close by in Waddell. We can keep service on schedule while you’re away, and Bryce will let you know what he finds. You deal with one person by phone, text, or email, start to finish.

Common in Sun City West

The pests we see most in Sun City West

Pests in empty summer homes

When a house sits closed up through the hottest months, nobody notices the first scorpion, the first droppings, or the first mud tube. Regular exterior service while you’re gone keeps small problems from growing.

Roof rats in mature citrus

Established citrus and ornamental trees give roof rats food and a path to the roofline. Quiet attics in homes left empty for the summer are an easy place for them to nest.

Scorpions off the fairways

Irrigated golf courses hold moisture and crickets all summer, and bark scorpions follow the food. Homes backing a fairway often see more scorpion activity along walls and patios.

Questions

What Sun City West homeowners ask

Don’t see your question? Call or text (623) 363-3124 and you’ll get Bryce, not a call center.

Can you service my home while I’m away for the summer?

Yes. Exterior service doesn’t require anyone to be home, so we can keep your visits on schedule while you’re gone. Bryce will let you know what he sees, and you can reach him directly by phone, text, or email at bryce@smitepestcontrol.com.

What should I do before closing up the house for summer?

Run water in unused drains and keep them covered, store pet food and birdseed in sealed containers, and pick up fallen citrus. Having the attic and garage checked for gaps before you leave helps keep roof rats from settling in while it’s quiet.

I back onto a golf course. Is that why I see scorpions?

Often, yes. Irrigated fairways stay damp and full of crickets through the summer, and scorpions follow their food. A consistent perimeter barrier along walls and patios, plus sealed gaps at doors, keeps most of them out of the house.

What should I check when we open the house back up in the fall?

Bark scorpions are still active in early fall, so shake out shoes, towels, and bedding before using them, and look along baseboards and in the garage. Run water in every drain to refill the plumbing traps, since dry traps let roaches come up from the sewer line. If you spot droppings, mud tubes, or more than the odd scorpion, tell Bryce and he’ll take a look.
