Precision Pest Control covers San Tan Valley through Johnson Ranch, Circle Cross Ranch, Pecan Creek and the newer phases still filling in toward the San Tan Mountains. Much of this community has open desert on at least one side, and that single fact drives most of the calls we take out here.


San Tan Valley is desert interface housing almost everywhere you look, and the list reflects that. Bark scorpions are the number one call by a wide margin, followed by black widows in weep holes and irrigation boxes, pack rats nesting in engine compartments and pool equipment, giant desert centipedes after a monsoon, and Sonoran desert toads in yards during the wet season. Rattlesnake calls come with the territory here. Subterranean termites and Argentine ants round it out on the residential side.
Because this is an unincorporated area that grew subdivision by subdivision, there is a great deal of undeveloped desert left between neighborhoods, and that is where the scorpion population actually lives. A treatment applied only to a house is treating the last ten feet of a much longer trip. We work these properties from the wall inward, sealing weep holes, gates, garage seals and tile roof ends, treating the wall base and the granite where scorpions shelter during daylight, and only then dealing with the structure itself.
Verification matters more here than anywhere else we work. Bark scorpions are invisible in daylight and completely obvious under a black light, so we do a night sweep on scorpion accounts rather than asking a homeowner to guess whether things have improved. In monsoon season we adjust timing, since a storm pushes centipedes, toads and scorpions out of flooded ground and into yards within hours. A fixed monthly schedule ignores that. We would rather come when it matters.
