Ants
Ants are industrious little creatures that may even seem admirable until they infest your home or yard. Once ants find food or water in your home they return to their colony and leave a pheromone trail that alerts the other ants. House ants won’t harm you but they can contaminate your food. If they infest your home, colonies can grow to thousands, consisting of the queen, which can live up to 30 years, and the workers.
Arizona is home to two species of Fire Ants. They are attracted to water sources, which makes your yard a target. They attack in hordes and can give a painful sting that will cause skin irritation and redness. In small or elderly pets, they can be life threatening. Let Green Scorpion take care of your ant issues, both inside and out, before they become a bigger problem.
Spiders
Some of the types of spiders that are venomous in our area include Wolf, Brown or Arizona Recluse, and Black Widow. Spiders like to get into dark and quiet areas, such as storage areas and closets. Spiders do their best to avoid humans if they can, but will bite if you get too close or step on them by accident. These common spiders are not deadly but some can cause severe reactions. All of their bites can cause pain and discomfort. When you see the first sign of one of these types of spiders, let us nip the problem in the bud before it becomes worse.
Roaches
The five most common species of cockroaches in Arizona are the American, German, Oriental, Turkestan and Brownbanded cockroaches. Roaches are hard to manage once they invade because of their resourcefulness and resilience. They avoid light and will hide behind your walls during the day. Garbage or open containers of food will attract these pests, and they also like moist areas and will enter through sewer openings.
Our service technicians will determine the kind of roaches you are dealing with, will thoroughly examine your home for nesting areas, and apply the appropriate treatment. A German cockroach infestation can take more time to gain control, and you may notice an increase in cockroach activity after the first treatment. This is because we are flushing the cockroaches out as we treat where they hide, nest and breed.
Scorpions
Scorpions are nocturnal and there are several varieties that call Arizona home. The most common is the Bark Scorpion. They are 2-3 inches long and are worthwhile, because they eat crickets, cockroaches, and other small insects you don’t want in your home. However, they give birth to 25-35 live young at one time. Their sting is similar to a bee sting, causing localized swelling, redness and skin irritation that can last for several days. They are rarely deadly, but it is scary to encounter one in your shower, or when putting on shoes. Let us take care of them before they infest your home.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitos affect the health of humans and domestic animals all over the world. Mosquitos
transfer viruses and other diseases through their bites. These diseases include heartworms in
our furry companions. Human disease: West Niles Virus, Dengue virus was recently found in
Arizona.

Place & Go Mosquito Control – Highly Effective Larvicidal Tablets
This ground-breaking product combines ease of use with uncompromising efficacy to kill mosquito larvae where they grow – in containers and standing water. Do you worry about the disease that mosquitoes carry like Dengue Fever or the Chikungunya and Zika viruses? Simply plop a tablet in the water and let your mosquito worries dissolve away.
Natular DT uses Spinosad (a naturally occurring bacterium) as its active ingredient. Spinosad (Saccharopolyspora spinose) is a potent control agent; it affects the function of the insect’s nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in a way that causes continuous nervous impulses. This constant stimulation quickly breaks down the nervous system of the insect causing paralysis and death. With these tablets, Spinosad is introduced to the insect by ingestion and by contact.
These small (less than 1/2″ in diameter), bi-layer tablets use a patented dual-release action to ensure both a quick kill and continuous control. The first layer is effervescent; these bubbles help dissolve and spread the first dosage in 60 seconds and will begin killing larvae within 24 hours. The second layer dissolves much more slowly over the next 60 days. For continual control it is important to keep the tablet submerged in water; if it dries out, it will stop working. However, it will resume working if it is re-wetted.
Benefits of Natular DT:
Tablets may be cut in half for use in smaller areas.
Can be applied to sites that contain fish and plants. No risk to honeybees and other beneficial insects.

FASTEST PEST REMOVAL
Bee & Weed Removal
These stubborn infestations are harmful to your home, plants and family, let us handle them safely.
Bees
Bees have many benefits, the most popular one being something we all love, honey. They are pollinators and are an important part of our ecosystem. However, certain times of the year, or if they make their home in a place it shouldn’t be, they can become not as desirable, and may even be dangerous. When bees perceive that their hive may be threatened, they will swarm out and attack to drive their enemy from the hive. Their stingers can cause severe pain and even serious harm to pets and children.
Africanized Bees
These bees have been documented to cause major harm and even death to pets and humans. Do not put off giving us a call as they can cause major damage to your home with the building of their hive.
Extermination
When it is not possible to relocate a hive, we do offer the option of killing the bees. This often is because of an inaccessible area within the home where it is impossible to safely remove the hive
