It's not bad luck — it's your zip code. Jerome sits in a transitional climate between the low desert and the mountains — real winters, warm but not brutal summers, and enough elevation to matter. Construction ages here span more than a century, from historic mining-era buildings to recently built homes on forested lots. That's exactly what carpenter ants, subterranean termites, field mice, spiders, wasps and yellowjackets, scorpions, and centipedes need to get inside. Waiting won't fix it. It just gives them more time to spread.
A one-size-fits-all spray doesn't cut it here. A mix of older mining-era homes, mid-century ranch houses, and newer construction on wooded or high-desert lots, often with basements or crawl spaces unlike the low desert. So before we write a treatment plan, we inspect first. Water, tree cover, open land, building age — it all factors in. You get a real diagnosis, not a guess.
