GILBERT, AZ EXTERMINATOR FOR ROOF RATS, SCORPIONS & TERMITES
Local, family-owned pest control for Gilbert homes, with no contracts.
Gilbert grew up as a farm town, and in the 1920s it was known as the "Hay Shipping Capital of the World." The hay fields are mostly gone, but the irrigation, the lakes and the rows of citrus trees that replaced them still keep pests fed and watered. That's why Gilbert homeowners call us most about roof rats in the attic, scorpions in the garage and termites working up the stem wall.
Three Suns Pest Control is based right next door in Queen Creek (AZ license #10019). We treat homes from the Heritage District to Seville, and we build every Gilbert service around what's actually happening in your neighborhood. Call 480-435-0339 for a free estimate.

WHY ROOF RATS LOVE GILBERT
In 2016, Terminix ranked Gilbert second in the nation for roof rat activity, based on data from more than 300 of its branches. Local exterminators still see the same pattern today, and it comes down to what Gilbert yards offer a rat:
Food on the tree. Oranges, grapefruit and lemons that hang on the tree or drop to the ground are a roof rat's favorite meal. A hollowed-out orange still on the branch is the classic sign.
Highways to the roof. Palms, oleander hedges and citrus limbs touching the eaves let roof rats climb straight into attics and garages.
Water everywhere. Neighborhood lakes, irrigated turf and drip lines give rodents a steady drink, even in July.
Our rodent control service uses tamper-resistant bait stations placed along the routes rats actually travel, and we check and refill them on schedule.

GILBERT NEIGHBORHOODS WE TREAT
Every Gilbert community has its own pest problems. Here's what we see in some of the neighborhoods we service:
Val Vista Lakes (85234). This 900-acre community wraps around three lakes, with a lagoon pool and a sandy beach. Waterfront homes and mature palms mean more crickets, roaches and roof rats than you'd expect in the desert.
Agritopia (85296). Agritopia is built around an 11-acre certified organic urban farm, with orchards, gardens and Joe's Farm Grill. Many residents garden, so we lean on bait stations, targeted crack-and-crevice work and exterior barriers kept away from edible plants.
Morrison Ranch (85234). White rail fences, tree-lined streets and more than 400 acres of parks and open space make Morrison Ranch beautiful. All that turf is also prime ground for ants and crickets working their way toward the house.
Power Ranch (85297). With more than 26 miles of trails and lakes at both clubhouses, Power Ranch has long runs of block wall that scorpions use as highways. Block wall injection is a must here.
Seville (85298). Built around an 18-hole golf course near Chandler Heights and Higley Roads, Seville borders the golf course turf and newer construction. We see subterranean termites and crickets move in from both directions.
We also serve Cooley Station, Lyons Gate, Finley Farms, the Heritage District and every neighborhood in between.

For most Gilbert homes, we recommend every-other-month general pest service. It keeps a steady barrier around the house through scorpion season and monsoon season. If pests show up between visits, we come back for free.
Each visit includes block wall injection where scorpions hide, a foundation and perimeter treatment, garage and baseboard treatment, eave sweeping for webs and egg sacs, a granular yard treatment that activates with your irrigation, wasp nest removal, and a termite check of the stem walls.

BEST GILBERT PEST CONTROL COMPANY
What makes the best Gilbert pest control company? For us it comes down to three things: knowing Gilbert's pests, doing the full treatment every time, and standing behind it. Gilbert's big problem is roof rats in citrus and mature trees, so our technicians check trees, rooflines and garages for rodent signs on every visit, not only when you call about them. Every service includes block wall injection for scorpions, a foundation barrier, a granular yard treatment and a termite check. If pests come back before your next visit, we come back free. Read what Gilbert customers say about us on Google, then compare.
AFFORDABLE GILBERT PEST CONTROL
Affordable pest control in Gilbert shouldn't mean a cheap first visit followed by a long contract. We don't use contracts at all, and we don't charge a startup fee. Every visit is priced the same. Most Gilbert homes do well on every-other-month service, which costs less over a year than monthly plans while still keeping a fresh barrier in place. Adding weed control from the same company saves you a second service bill. Call for a free, no-pressure estimate.
LOCAL GILBERT PEST CONTROL
We're a local, family-owned pest control company from neighboring Queen Creek, a short drive down Ellsworth or the Loop 202 to any Gilbert neighborhood. Owner Dallin Brown started Three Suns in 2020 after more than a decade in the industry and named the company after his three sons. When you call, you'll reach our own office, and the technicians you meet are part of our small local team.
PET & FAMILY FRIENDLY GILBERT PEST CONTROL
Gilbert families spend a lot of time in the backyard, and so do their dogs. Our pet and family friendly approach keeps most treatments outside: around the foundation, on block walls, in the garage and across the yard. Inside, we only treat baseboards and entry points. Your technician tells you how long to keep kids and pets off treated areas, which is usually until the product dries. For roof rats, we use locked, tamper-resistant bait stations so pets and children can't reach the bait.
ROOF RAT & PEST PREVENTION TIPS FOR GILBERT HOMEOWNERS
- Pick citrus as it ripens and pick up fallen fruit every day during the season.
- Trim trees, palms and oleanders at least 3 feet back from the roofline.
- Check attic vents and garage door seals for gaps a rat can squeeze through.
- Keep irrigation off the foundation. Wet soil against the stem wall invites termites and crickets.
- Store pet food and birdseed in sealed bins in the garage.
- Trim tree limbs near the roof of your home.
GILBERT PEST CONTROL FAQS
Why does Gilbert have so many roof rats? Gilbert's mature citrus trees, palms and irrigated yards give roof rats food, water and easy routes to the roof. Terminix ranked Gilbert second in the nation for roof rats in 2016. Picking up fallen fruit, trimming trees away from the roof and using professionally serviced bait stations keeps them under control.
How often should I get pest control in Gilbert, AZ? We recommend every-other-month general pest service for most Gilbert homes. It keeps a steady barrier in place year-round, and if pests show up between visits we come back for free.
Do lakes and irrigated lawns in Gilbert bring more bugs? Yes. Lakes, turf and drip irrigation keep the soil damp, which draws crickets, roaches, ants and subterranean termites. Homes backing onto water or greenbelts benefit most from regular perimeter and yard treatments.
How can I tell if my Gilbert home has termites? Look for pencil-width mud tubes on the stem wall or garage, winged swarmers after monsoon rains, and blistered or soft drywall. We check for termite activity at every general pest visit and can recommend a treatment if we find it.
How much does pest control cost in Gilbert, and do I need a contract? Pricing depends on your home's size, lot and the pests you're dealing with, and estimates are free. You'll never sign a contract, and there's no inflated first-visit price. Call 480-435-0339 for a quote.
