Scottsdale Scorpion Control

Exterminating scorpions in Scottsdale, Arizona involves a great knowledge of the creatures instincts and natural habitat. Magic Pest Control specialists are trained in all aspects of scorpion behavior and Arizona scorpion control technique used to infiltrate, exterminate and control scorpion nests and their food source.

We also offer delta dust for scorpion control! 

Scorpions are venomous arthropods in the class Arachnida, relatives of spiders, solpugids, pseudoscorpions, mites, ticks, etc. They have eight legs, a long tail and a pair of pedipalps for capturing prey. At the end of the tail they are equipped with a stinger, fully loaded by a venom producing gland.

Scottsdale Rodent Control

One of the greatest threats to property owners in Arizona is rats, specifically wood or pack rats. These nocturnal animals grow up to 9-inches and weigh roughly 2lbs. That’s a big rodent crawling around your home, bringing in germs, and causing destruction. Worse yet, many of these creatures come in through unexpected openings in your home, including your roof and basement.

Scottsdale rat control services stop rats at the source. Catching rodents early is critical as it helps us stop them from building nests, causing damage, and reproducing. As rats are nocturnal, you may not realize you have rats right away. Signs to watch for include:

  • Droppings
  • Scratching sounds
  • Footprints
  • New holes or cracks
You may also notice rub marks. Rats have notoriously poor eyesight. As they root around looking for food and nesting materials, they rub their bodies against markers to determine where they are.
This leaves smudges of dirt, grease, fur, and If any of these signs are present in your home or business, call Magic Pest Control for Scottsdale rodent control services. In the meantime, you can do a few things to keep rats from making a home out of your home.
  • Keep food in air-tight containers away from the floor
  • Clear debris from outside your home or business
  • Store garbage in containers with lids
  • Keep food products out of garbage cans (compost instead)
  • Rake your lawn to remove fallen seeds and debris
  • Close gaps or holes in your home or business
Our team is always happy to answer questions about protecting your home from rodents.

Scottsdale Termite Control

Termites are another Scottsdale visitor nobody likes to see. Termites leave a few sights or sounds to alert you to their presence. As they’re so small, frass, or termite droppings, are hard to spot. At best, you can watch for unexplained blisters in wood or paint, and the tell-tale sign of mud tubes.
Mud tubes are just what they sound like, tubes of dried mud, made by termites to get from point A to point B without being seen by predators. These narrow tubes of mud may be on the outside of your home where termites have crawled in.
There are 4 termite species in Arizona, including:
  • Desert Dampwood
  • Western Drywood
  • Arrid Subterranean
  • Desert Subterranean
Desert damp wood termites are unlikely to be found in your home or business. They tend to stay outside. Western dry wood termites, however, are very common in structures. Subterranean termites are also bad for Scottsdale homeowners, as they infest from burrows under the earth. Arrid subterranean termites are the most common in Arizona and prefer damp soil as a home.
Certain castes of termites have wings. You may notice wings or wing particles in your home or around the outside of your home. Because there are different castes of termites in each species, termites look different depending on their role and stage of life. Their bodies consist of a head, abdomen, and thorax, although the abdomen and thorax are not distinct from one another. This is unlike ants, which have a distinct head, abdomen, and thorax.
Termites are tough to deter. If you are building a home, you can have pretreatments installed, such as Termi-mesh and liquid barriers. However, once your home is built, it’s difficult to deter these pests. Some Arizonians plant catnip, garlic, or mint around their homes to keep termites away.

Calling Scottsdale termite control to inspect your home at the first sign of termites is key. In dry climates like Scottsdale, especially in older houses, you should have your home inspected once a year.
