GOLD CANYON, AZ SCORPION & TERMITE CONTROL

Those same views come with desert neighbors: scorpions, centipedes, black widows and rodents that live in the rock and brush all around town.

WHY GOLD CANYON HOMES NEED SCORPION CONTROL
Wilderness on your back fence. The Superstition Wilderness and Tonto National Forest start just north of Gold Canyon. Scorpions, tarantulas and centipedes move freely from that land into yards and garages.
Golf course irrigation. Green fairways in the middle of the desert attract crickets and other insects, and scorpions follow the food. Golf course lots often see more activity than you'd expect.
Natural desert landscaping. Many homes keep native boulders, cactus and washes on their lots. It looks great, but every rock is a place for scorpions and black widows to hide.

BEST GOLD CANYON PEST CONTROL COMPANY
The best Gold Canyon pest control company needs to protect some of the most beautiful and most scorpion-prone lots in the Valley. We treat native boulders near the home, block walls, casitas and garages, not just the foundation. For golf course homes, we pay extra attention to the irrigated edges where crickets gather. Every visit includes a termite check, and callbacks are free. Gold Canyon customers can read our reviews on Google.
AFFORDABLE GOLD CANYON PEST CONTROL
Affordable Gold Canyon pest control means you pay for the service you need, and nothing else. We don't require contracts or charge startup fees, and every visit is the same price. Every-other-month service keeps a steady barrier in place for less than monthly plans. Part-time residents can schedule around their travel without cancellation fees. Adding weed control for large desert lots saves the cost of a second company.
LOCAL GOLD CANYON PEST CONTROL
Three Suns is a local, family-owned pest control company from the East Valley, and Gold Canyon is a regular stop for our team. Owner Dallin Brown still works with customers directly, and our lead technician Doug and the rest of our small team service the gated communities and desert properties along US-60. We're used to gate codes, HOA rules and homes that sit empty for part of the year.
PET & FAMILY FRIENDLY GOLD CANYON PEST CONTROL
Gold Canyon homes often have dogs that spend time outside, and visiting grandkids who explore the desert yard. Our pet and family friendly approach keeps treatment focused outside, on boulders, block walls, the foundation and the garage. Interior treatment is kept to baseboards and entry points. We'll tell you how long to keep kids and pets off treated areas, usually until it dries. Rodent bait is secured in locked stations placed outside the home.
TARANTULAS, CENTIPEDES AND OTHER GOLD CANYON DESERT PESTS
Living this close to the Superstition Wilderness means seeing some desert creatures that rarely show up in the middle of the Valley.
- Tarantulas wander in late summer and fall, usually males looking for a mate. They're slow and rarely bite, and they usually leave on their own.
- Giant desert centipedes can reach several inches long and have a painful bite. They hide under rocks and in garages, especially after monsoon rain.
- Desert hairy scorpions, the largest scorpion in North America, sometimes turn up in yards. They're less venomous than bark scorpions but still worth keeping out.
- Solifuges (sun spiders) run fast across patios at night. They're harmless to people but eat other insects around the home.
DESERT PEST TIPS FOR GOLD CANYON HOMEOWNERS
- Keep boulders and decorative rock a foot or two away from the house.
- Check patio cushions and shoes before use, especially in summer.
- Store shoes elevated off the ground so any creeping pests don't mistake them for a new home.
- Treat for weeds before the monsoon so they don't take over natural desert areas.
- Maintain a routine exterior pest control service year round so the home stays protected while it's empty.
- Stay alert when outside and in garages. Rattlesnakes are common in desert communities all throughout Gold Canyon. Rattlesnakes can climb up cinderblock walls, so even a sealed backyard isn't a snake free zone.
