"Home inspection was done for barriers to be placed for pigeon elimination at my residence. Area was cleaned with pressure wash and the barriers installed in a manner which is pretty unnoticeable. Thanks Raptor!"

Properties Across East Valley
Gilbert has transformed from an agricultural community into a large suburban city. Much of the area consists of newer planned neighborhoods, but it also includes the original Heritage District, mature pockets, parks, open space, and a riparian preserve. The result is a mixture of newer construction and older, more established property conditions.
Master-Planned Communities
Newer planned neighborhoods with construction joints, garage door gaps, block-wall transitions, and side-yard gates that create entry points on recent builds. Properties near active construction face displaced-pest pressure.
Heritage District
Gilbert's original downtown area with older construction, mature landscaping, and established properties. Aging vent screens, roof penetrations, and utility connections create pest entry points on these homes.
Riparian & Park Areas
The Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch and numerous community parks provide water sources and habitat that sustain rodent and bird populations near residential properties.
Agricultural Edges
Gilbert's agricultural heritage means some properties border former farmland, irrigation corridors, and canals. These edges support ground-rodent populations and provide travel corridors for pests moving toward residential areas.
Frequently Encountered Activity
These are the pests our technicians see most often on Gilbert properties. Click any pest to learn about our specialized control services.
Ground-Dwelling Rodents
Gophers and ground squirrels damage lawns and irrigation on properties near parks, retention areas, canals, and open-space edges.
Roof Rats
Trees, vines, walls, and utility lines connecting landscaping to roofs provide roof-rat travel routes throughout Gilbert.
Sewer-Related Rodents
Sewer cleanouts, plumbing walls, drains, and suspected underground entry in both newer and older Gilbert neighborhoods.
Desert Wildlife
Rattlesnakes, coyotes, javelina, and other desert species are found near open-space edges and agricultural corridors in Gilbert.
Woodpeckers
Gila woodpeckers drill into wood trim, fascia, and stucco on Gilbert homes, causing moisture intrusion and structural damage.
Small Birds
Sparrows and starlings nest in roof vents, eaves, solar panels, and patio structures common in Gilbert homes.
Pigeons
Pigeons roost on solar panels, patio structures, roof equipment, and bird nesting locations throughout Gilbert.
