Cottonwood's Pest Challenges
Cottonwood sits along the Verde River, and its mix of vineyards, irrigated properties, and open high-desert land creates ideal conditions for pests looking for water and shelter close to home.
The moisture from nearby agriculture and the Verde River, combined with the surrounding desert terrain, supports scorpions, termites, ants, and spiders throughout Old Town Cottonwood, Verde Village, and the outlying neighborhoods. These pests don’t stay confined to open land — they move into homes and yards just as easily.
At Alternative Pest, we’ve been protecting Verde Valley homes for 27 years. We know Cottonwood’s specific pest pressures, and we bring solutions tailored to this environment — not a one-size-fits-all spray and go.
Common Pests in Cottonwood
Scorpions
Cottonwood’s mix of rocky high-desert terrain and irrigated yards makes for prime scorpion habitat. Bark scorpions — the most venomous species in North America — are common in the area and can squeeze through gaps as small as a credit card. We target scorpions at entry points and at the source so your family isn’t sharing the house with them.
Termites
Arizona has some of the highest termite activity in the country, and Cottonwood is no exception. Many homeowners don’t know they have termites until damage is already done. We offer free inspections and use Termidor — the industry’s leading treatment — to eliminate colonies at the source.
Ants, Cockroaches & More
From fire ants to roof-invading cockroaches, Cottonwood homes see a full range of desert pest activity, made worse by nearby irrigation and agriculture. We handle it all with targeted treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Home Inspections
To just make sure your home is termite free, the home inspection is fine.
However, you needs something more in depth when you’re buying a home. You want to make sure the beautiful home on the outside, is beautiful inside as well.
Our in depth home inspection not only covers termites but also checks for a variety of items including water damage, dry rot, fungus, inadequate ventilation, plumbing or roof leaks, and even previous termite treatments.
It’s a great part of making sure you can purchase your home worry free!
