In our area we have a wide range of pest and pest problems. Scorpions are the biggest concern in the Verde Valley and Sedona area. Most scorpions are non-venomous and their sting is no more poisonous than a wasp. They have 2 to 12 eyes, but there eyesight is poor and there pinchers are used as feelers. Scorpions can be found under the loose bark of trees and logs, under stones, and in Brick foundations. If you are having a "scorpion problem" then make sure debris around your house is cleaned up. Your wood pile is away from your house. The mother scorpions produce living young which climb on her back and remain there for five to15 days. Maturity is obtained in 3 to 4 years. If available, an ice cube may be applied to the sting site, but never submerge the affected limb in ice water. Rest assured that we can control scorpions.

American and oriental cockroaches are the most nuisance pests in the area. At the beginning of May through October they seem to be everywhere. They love expansion joints at the patios and garage, cracks in concrete, and in railroad ties. Our outside perimeter treatment will have you partying on the patio without unwanted guests.

Ants are another nuisance pest. We have your pavement ants, crazy ants, carpenter ants, big ants, little ants all kind of ants. But, we have at our disposal termidor on the outside, and phantom on the inside. These two chemicals are outstanding and the ants are no more a problem.
