Roof rats had spread across an older, tree-lined Phoenix HOA. A house-by-house approach wasn't working. Here's what did.
4 min read
The problem
Mature citrus and dense landscaping gave roof rats food and cover across the whole community, and individual homeowners treating on their own just pushed the rats next door.
What we did
We ran a coordinated community-wide program: exterior baiting stations, roofline and entry-point exclusion on affected homes, and resident education on removing fruit and food sources, because roof rats have to be fought at the community level.
The result
Community-wide activity dropped substantially, and a monitoring program keeps it from rebuilding. Coordinated beats house-by-house every time with roof rats.

The approach we took
Every job like this starts with a thorough inspection to confirm the species and map how it was getting in. From there we treat the source and seal entry points rather than just spraying surfaces, the combination is what turns a recurring complaint into a solved problem.
What changed for the client
The measurable win is fewer sightings and fewer callbacks, but the real outcome is confidence: a documented plan, a consistent technician, and a barrier that holds through the Valley's toughest months. That is what recurring service is designed to deliver.
How we would handle yours
Your property is not identical, but the method is the same, inspect, treat the source, seal, and maintain. We build the schedule around how your space is actually used and back it with the free re-service guarantee so results stay on us.
Why Valley homeowners choose Property Pest Control
We are a local, licensed and insured team that treats Phoenix-area homes and businesses every day. That means honest, written quotes from $49/month, a consistent technician who knows your property, targeted and family-conscious treatments, and a free re-service guarantee that keeps the results on us, not a national call center reading from a script.

Free re-service guarantee
See activity between scheduled visits? We come back and re-treat at no additional charge. It is included on every recurring plan, so the results are on us, not on you to call around for a second opinion. A callback is a quick scheduling call, never a negotiation over fees, and it is exactly how a local company should stand behind its work.
Licensed & insured
Treatments follow Arizona Department of Agriculture standards and product labels, applied by licensed, insured technicians who document every visit. You get a clear record of exactly what was treated and where, on every single stop.
Family- & pet-conscious
We use targeted, low-impact methods placed at entry points and harborage rather than broadcasting product where your kids and pets spend time, with clear re-entry windows. Effective protection and a household you do not have to worry about are not a trade-off. Your technician will always walk you through what was applied and how long to wait, so there is never any guesswork.
Transparent pricing
Recurring plans start at $49/month with a firm quote before any work begins, no surprise fees, no high-pressure contracts, and no door-to-door upsells. You always know what you are paying and what it covers before we start, and because plans are month-to-month, you stay because the service works rather than because a contract says you have to.

Jake was great. Knowledgable about bait chemicals and gopher behavior. Safe CO2 used instead of traps. They die without pain instead of in a trap. Courteous and efficient. Highly recommend.

How we work
Our approach to Community-Wide Roof Rat Outbreak in a Phoenix HOA
The same disciplined sequence on every visit, from the first walk of the property to the barrier we keep current all year.
Inspect & identify
Every job starts with a walk of the property. We confirm exactly what we are dealing with, find the entry points and harborage driving the problem in the Phoenix Valley, and note the conditions, moisture, clutter, landscaping, cracks, feeding it.
Treat the source
We treat the harborage and entry routes directly rather than just spraying surfaces, breaking the breeding cycle at its root. Interior and exterior are handled as needed so the pest has nowhere left to regroup.
Seal & prevent
We seal and advise on the gaps, thresholds, and conducive conditions that let pests back in, turning a one-time fix into lasting protection for your Phoenix Valley property.
Maintain the barrier
Recurring visits keep the protective barrier current through every Arizona season, and the free re-service guarantee means anything that slips through between visits is handled at no extra cost.
