Local pest control
Trusted pest control in Scottsdale, AZ
Cummings Termite & Pest provides residential and commercial pest control in Scottsdale, AZ, backed by more than 50 years of experience serving Scottsdale and the surrounding East Valley communities. Our office is just minutes away in Fountain Hills, so our certified technicians reach North Scottsdale, the McDowell Mountain corridor, and Old Town quickly — no long waits, no out-of-area dispatch.
Scottsdale sits at the edge of the Sonoran Desert, and that proximity shapes the pest pressures homeowners here face every season. North Scottsdale properties that back up to desert preserves see steady scorpion and rodent activity, especially as temperatures climb in spring and summer. Subterranean termites are a year-round concern in older Scottsdale neighborhoods, while bark scorpions make their way into newer construction along the 101 corridor as surrounding desert is disturbed by development.
We start every new customer with a free inspection and build a treatment plan around what we actually find on your property — not a one-size-fits-all package. Whether you are dealing with a scorpion infestation near Troon, rodent pressure along the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, or an ant problem in a Scottsdale Ranch home, Cummings offers safe, professional treatments tailored to your situation.

Local pest pressures
Common pests in Scottsdale, AZ
The pests our Scottsdale, AZ customers deal with most — and what to watch for.
Bark scorpions
The most venomous scorpion in North America thrives in Scottsdale's desert-adjacent neighborhoods and can squeeze through gaps as thin as a credit card.
Subterranean termites
Scottsdale's warm soil temperatures support active termite colonies year-round, putting both older Arcadia-area homes and newer North Scottsdale builds at risk.
Roof rats
Mature citrus trees and desert landscaping common throughout Scottsdale provide ideal harborage for roof rats, which often enter attics undetected.
Black widow spiders
Black widows seek out block-wall gaps, garage corners, and irrigation valve boxes — all features widespread across Scottsdale residential properties.
Argentine ants
Irrigated Scottsdale lawns and landscaping create perfect moisture conditions for large Argentine ant colonies that trail indoors seeking food and water.
Pack rats (woodrats)
North Scottsdale properties near desert preserves regularly see pack rats building nests in engine compartments, attics, and outdoor HVAC units.

Scottsdale, AZ pest control questions
Local answers for local homeowners. Reach out any time for specifics about your property.
Yes. Cummings serves all Scottsdale zip codes, from Old Town through North Scottsdale communities like Troon, DC Ranch, and Grayhawk, as well as Scottsdale-adjacent areas such as Paradise Valley.
Finding more than one or two scorpions inside your home over a season typically indicates a harborage issue nearby — gaps in block walls, wood debris, or dense desert landscaping. A free inspection lets us locate entry points and nesting areas before recommending treatment.
We use professional-grade products applied by certified technicians who follow label directions precisely. We discuss any specific safety precautions, such as keeping children or pets away from treated areas until dry, during your service appointment.
Termite inspections are included in our free inspection service. If we identify evidence of subterranean termite activity, we walk you through the findings and outline treatment options before any work begins.
Because our office is in nearby Fountain Hills, we are generally able to schedule new Scottsdale customers within a few business days. Call us at 480-994-9599 or email info@cummingspest.com to find an available time.
