Rodent Removal Across Phoenix and the Valley
Contractors are dispatched throughout Phoenix and Maricopa County. The areas and towns below have pages of their own, because crossing the Valley changes both the housing stock and the animal you are dealing with.
Two kinds of Valley property, two kinds of job
The older irrigated neighborhoods and the desert-edge subdivisions produce almost opposite inspections. In Arcadia, Willo, Coronado, Encanto and the other central districts the pressure is roof rats: citrus and mature trees touching the roof, flood irrigation on the older lots, palm skirts, oleander hedges, power lines running lot to lot, and original attics and vents on houses from the 1920s through the 1950s. The 2002 Arcadia identification is where the Valley roof rat story starts, and the older irrigated streets are still where the calls cluster.
Out at Desert Ridge, Ahwatukee, north Peoria, the Cave Creek side and north Scottsdale the stock is 1990s to 2010s block, stucco and concrete tile, the landscaping is gravel and desert plants, and the animal is more often a pack rat than a roof rat. The middens go under shrubs, against block wall corners, beside condenser units and under parked cars, and the damage turns up as chewed wiring rather than noise over a bedroom.
The Biltmore and North Central belt in between is 1960s to 1990s block and stucco under concrete tile, and it takes both. Roof rat removal and rodent exclusion are the two services most of these areas call for.
Areas and towns with their own page
Each page is built on what is known about that place: when the houses went up, what is on the roofs, and whether the pressure there comes from roof rats or pack rats.
