What Should Be Included in a Pest Control Service?

A real pest control service in Arizona should cover a lot more than a quick spray along the baseboards. At minimum, it should include a full exterior barrier, treatment of entry points and harborage, scorpion coverage, interior service when needed, and a company you can actually reach. If you're paying for less than that, you're paying for a spray-and-leave.

The checklist

A thorough service should include:

• Full exterior barrier, foundation, entry points, eaves, weep screeds, block walls, and garage, not just a wall spray
• Harborage treatment, the rock beds, block walls, and debris zones where pests (and scorpions) shelter
• Entry-point attention, the gaps where scorpions and insects get in
• Scorpion coverage, in the East Valley this should be standard, not a costly add-on
• Interior treatment when needed, handled on request, not skipped
• A consistent technician who learns your home
• Clear communication, knowing what was treated and being able to reach someone between visits
• Re-service if pests return between scheduled visits

What "spray and leave" looks like

A five-minute visit where someone sprays the perimeter and is gone before you've found your keys isn't real pest control. If pests keep coming back, that's usually why, the harborage and entry points never got addressed.

Redline's standard plan covers all of the above, with scorpions included. New customers get $50–$100 off their first service. Call or text 480-960-2010.

FAQ

Should scorpions be included in standard pest control?

In the East Valley, yes, scorpions are the region's top concern, so charging extra for them is a red flag. Redline includes them in the standard plan.

Should interior treatment be part of the service?

It should be available whenever you need it. Much of the work is exterior, but a good company treats inside on request at no drama.
