Termite Control
Our termite specialists deliver customized treatments using advanced baiting systems and proven methods. Recognized by Dow Agro as top Sentricon providers, we eliminate infestations and prevent future damage. With over 30 years of Arizona-specific expertise, we protect homes and businesses from costly structural threats through thorough inspections and targeted interventions.
Bed Bug Removal
The Sleeptight program combines specialized training and certified protocols for complete bed bug elimination. Our Bed Bug Free-certified technicians use heat treatments and targeted applications to eradicate infestations in homes and businesses. Backed by 24/7 support and follow-up inspections, we restore comfort and confidence with guaranteed results.
Desert Guard
This exclusive program targets Arizona's unique desert pests including scorpions, spiders, and ants. Using region-specific treatments around foundations and entry points, we create protective barriers that adapt to seasonal pest activity. Regular maintenance ensures year-round protection against common desert invaders.
Mosquito Control
Our seasonal mosquito services reduce populations by up to 90% through larvicide applications and targeted treatments. Technicians identify breeding sites and apply eco-friendly solutions to yards, eliminating adult mosquitoes and preventing reproduction throughout peak seasons.
Weed Control
Certified specialists eliminate invasive weeds like buffel grass through pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments. Using soil sterilants and targeted herbicides, we prevent regrowth while protecting desired vegetation. Commercial and residential programs maintain property aesthetics and ecological balance.

We have had NW for many years, some of their service techs have been better than others. I want to say our current guy is the BEST! Please keep him as.

Shout out to Jose who did my annual inspection last week. For the last 11 years, my inspections were about 20 minutes in duration. This inspection was almost 1 1/2 hours, so very thorough with some not too great findings--no termites though! but readily easy to take care of.
