"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 West Valley
Historic and established neighborhoods combined with newer suburban and master-planned growth. Roof construction, sewer connections, landscaping, and exterior building conditions vary considerably.
Glendale Historic Districts
Multiple historic districts with older properties, mature trees, and aging infrastructure. Original construction features wood framing, crawlspaces, and sewer connections that develop vulnerabilities over decades.
Litchfield Park
Mature palms, citrus trees, and established landscaping create ideal roof-rat habitat. Older homes with tile roofs and original vent screens require frequent inspection and maintenance.
Peoria
A mix of established neighborhoods and newer master-planned communities. Older sections share aging-infrastructure concerns, while newer builds face construction-gap vulnerabilities and displaced desert wildlife.
Avondale
Older communities undergoing revitalization alongside newer development. The mix of property ages means inspection must address both aging components and fresh construction joints.
Frequently Encountered Activity
These are the pests our technicians see most often on West Valley properties. Click any pest to learn about our specialized control services.
Roof Rats
Mature palms, citrus trees, and vines provide roof-rat travel routes to tile roofs, attic vents, and eaves throughout established West Valley neighborhoods.
Sewer-Related Rodents
Older sewer connections and plumbing in historic districts can allow sewer rodent entry through floor drains, cleanouts, and plumbing breaches.
Norway Rats
Norway rat activity, when confirmed, involves ground-level burrowing near foundations, drainage areas, and refuse zones.
Ground-Dwelling Rodents
Gophers and ground squirrels damage lawns, irrigation, and foundations across properties near parks, canals, and retention areas.
Desert Wildlife
Rattlesnakes, coyotes, and javelina are encountered on properties near washes, parks, and undeveloped land throughout the West Valley.
Woodpeckers
Gila woodpeckers drill into wood trim, fascia, and stucco on established homes with mature landscaping.
Small Birds
Sparrows and starlings nest in roof vents, eaves, dryer vents, and around commercial signage and awnings.
Pigeons
Pigeons roost on signs, awnings, solar panels, and roof equipment at both residential and commercial properties.
