Ah mosquitos, one of nature's most annoying little creatures. Help keep them at bay this summer by checking your plants and yard. Any standing water, even as small as a 20 ounce bottle cap, is the perfect place for mosquitos to breed. Doing a walk around your yard to ensure that no plants are being overwatered or that rain water is building up somewhere in the yard can help assess any potential breeding grounds.

A pest control professional can do an inspection and let you know if there are any trouble spots. If you need assistance with any pest control related issues, give us a call! 480-687-8247!

Happy Friday! Don't let your relaxing poolside weekend be disrupted by unwanted pests! Routine pest control is the best way to keep pests at a minimum year round so you and your furry best friend can get some sun without worry!

Call us today to get set up! 480-687-6247!

Having trouble with rodents? Here are some tips to help prevent an infestation. First, if you have citrus trees, make sure to remove the fruit as it becomes ripe. These attract rodents.

It is always best to have a professional assess your home and any potential entry points for rodents. Give us a call today! 480-687-824
