Most pests walk in through a gap you can't see: a worn door sweep, a crack at the slab, a pipe under the sink. We find those gaps and seal them first, then treat, so you're not paying to spray the same bugs every month.
These are the calls we get most across Southern Arizona, and the way each one usually gets inside.
They fit under a door with a gap the width of a credit card, then hide somewhere cool and dark. Door sweeps and a sealed base of the stucco stop most of them.
Subterranean termites climb up from the soil in mud tubes. Drywood termites fly in and settle in attic wood. Both work quietly for a long time before anyone notices.
They set up in garage corners, block walls and pool equipment. Clearing webs helps for a week; closing the garage gaps keeps them from moving back in.
Roof rats climb citrus and palm trees to reach the roof, then slip under the tiles into the attic. Mice only need a gap about the size of a dime.
American roaches come up from sewer lines and through plumbing gaps. German roaches ride in on boxes and grocery bags. Each one needs a different fix.
Swarms settle in wall voids, meter boxes and irrigation valve boxes. Keep your distance and call us: we remove the colony and seal the opening.
Spraying kills what's already inside. Sealing these five spots keeps the next ones out. Pick one to see who uses it and how we close it.
Entry point
Termites build mud tubes up the stucco from the soil, and scorpions slip in where the stucco meets the slab. We treat a band of soil around the foundation and seal the gap at the base of the wall.
Call about thisEvery visit starts with a walk around the outside of the house. We seal what we find, then treat what's already there.
Door sweeps, gaps at the base of the stucco, pipe entries and vent screens, sealed on the first visit and checked on every visit after.
A soil barrier along the foundation or bait stations around the house, with an inspection report you can keep for when you sell.
A black-light check after dark, web removal at the eaves and garage, and a treated band around the foundation.
We cut off the routes onto the roof, close the gaps under the tiles, and place tamper-resistant bait stations away from pets.
Gel bait inside, granules outside, and sealed plumbing gaps under the sinks, so roaches stop coming up from the drains.
Colonies removed from walls, meter boxes and valve boxes, then the opening sealed so the next swarm can't move in.
Every plan starts with a full seal-up visit. After that we come back on a schedule, and if anything gets back in between visits, the re-treat is free.
We start outside with a flashlight: door sweeps, slab cracks, pipe entries, roof tiles and vents.
Sweeps, sealant and screen go on the gaps pests use, before any product goes down.
Targeted treatment only where there's activity, with pet-friendly products and a clear time for when pets can go back out.
Seeing activity between visits? Call or text, and we re-treat at no charge.
"A scorpion in the shower twice a week was normal for us. They put on new door sweeps and sealed the gap along the bottom of the stucco, and we've seen one since spring."
"Roof rats ran across the attic every night. Desert Shield closed the gaps under the tiles and had us trim back the orange tree. Quiet since the first week."
"I liked that they didn't just spray and leave. The tech showed me every gap he sealed and texted photos afterward."
