FLORENCE, AZ SCORPION CONTROL & TERMITE TREATMENT
Pest control for Arizona's historic city Florence, with no contracts.
Florence was founded in 1866 on the south bank of the Gila River, which makes it one of the oldest towns in Arizona. It's still the Pinal County seat. Today the town stretches from its historic district, with more than 25 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, north to newer communities like Anthem at Merrill Ranch and Magma Ranch. In between is a lot of open Sonoran Desert, and that's where most Florence pest problems start.
Three Suns Pest Control is a family-owned pest and weed control company based in nearby Queen Creek (AZ license #10019). We know desert-edge pest control, from block wall scorpion treatments to termite protection for older homes. Call 480-435-0339 for a free estimate.

FLORENCE, AZ 85132 PEST CONTROL SERVICE AREA
All of Florence uses one ZIP code, 85132. That includes the historic downtown, Anthem at Merrill Ranch (Anthem Parkside and Sun City Anthem), Magma Ranch, Florence Gardens and the surrounding rural properties. If your address is Florence, AZ 85132, we service it.
WHY FLORENCE HAS SO MANY SCORPIONS
Desert on every side. Most Florence neighborhoods sit right up against open desert, where Arizona bark scorpions, desert centipedes and black widows live under rocks and brush. When the monsoon rains arrive or new homes go up, they move toward the closest shelter: your block wall, garage and rock landscaping.
The Gila River corridor. Florence grew up along the Gila River, and irrigated farmland still surrounds parts of town. That moisture supports crickets and roaches, which in turn feed scorpions and spiders.
Older homes and wood. Historic buildings and older homes in town have more gaps, older wood and aging foundations. That gives subterranean termites and scorpions more ways in.

FLORENCE NEIGHBORHOODS WE TREAT
Anthem at Merrill Ranch. This community covers more than 3,000 acres about six miles northwest of historic downtown. It has two parts: Anthem Parkside for all ages, and Sun City Anthem, Del Webb's 55+ community. The Poston Butte Golf Club, more than 60 acres of parks and the Big Splash water park keep it green. Homes on the golf course and the desert edge see the most scorpions and termites.
Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch. Many residents here travel part of the year. A home that sits closed up in summer is an easy target for scorpions and rodents, so regular every-other-month service keeps it protected while you're away.
Magma Ranch. This 1,300-acre community near San Tan Valley has homes built from 2005 to 2020, plus its own K-8 school, park, pool and splash pad. Newer phases border open land, so we see scorpions and crickets pushed in by construction.
Historic downtown Florence. Homes and buildings near Main Street, the 1891 Pinal County Courthouse and McFarland State Historic Park date back decades. We focus on termite protection and sealing the cracks scorpions use to get inside.
Florence Gardens. This 55+ community of mostly manufactured homes has a clubhouse, pool and pickleball courts. Scorpions, black widows and rodents like the shade under homes and patios, so perimeter treatment matters here.
We also serve Crestfield Manor and rural properties throughout the 85132 area.

BEST FLORENCE PEST CONTROL COMPANY
The best Florence pest control company needs to handle two very different kinds of homes: historic buildings near Main Street and newer homes out at Anthem at Merrill Ranch. We do both. Older homes get a closer look for termites and gaps, and desert-edge homes get extra attention on block walls where scorpions hide. Every visit includes the same full treatment and a termite check, and callbacks between visits are free. Florence homeowners can see what our customers say about us on Google.
AFFORDABLE FLORENCE PEST CONTROL
Affordable Florence pest control means no surprises. We don't require a contract or charge a startup fee, and every visit costs the same. Every-other-month service gives you six visits a year instead of twelve, which keeps costs down without leaving gaps in protection. Seasonal residents in Sun City Anthem can pause or schedule around their stay without penalties. Estimates are free.
LOCAL FLORENCE PEST CONTROL
We're a local pest control company from nearby Queen Creek, and Florence is part of our regular service area along with San Tan Valley and Coolidge. Three Suns is family-owned and operated by Dallin Brown, and our lead technician Doug leads a small crew that services Pinal County's desert-edge neighborhoods. You'll deal with a small local team, not a call center.
PET & FAMILY FRIENDLY FLORENCE PEST CONTROL
Many Florence households include grandkids, dogs or both. Our pet and family friendly service puts most of the treatment outside the home, where scorpions and spiders start. Inside, we only treat along baseboards and entry points, and we'll tell you how long to keep kids and pets off treated areas (usually until it dries). Rodent bait goes only in locked stations outdoors. Because bark scorpion stings are hardest on small children and pets, keeping scorpions outside is our top priority.
DESERT PEST PREVENTION TIPS FOR FLORENCE HOMES
- Clear rock piles, wood and debris from along the block wall and the side yards.
- Add weatherstripping under garage and entry doors.
- Store feed, birdseed and pet food in sealed metal or plastic bins.
- Check older wood (fences, porches and door frames) for mud tubes after monsoon season.
- Put down pre-emergent before the summer rains to stay ahead of weeds.
