Ground Squirrel & Rock Squirrel Control
Ground squirrels and rock squirrels dig extensive burrow systems along foundations, block walls, and desert edges, undermining hardscape and gnawing on irrigation, wiring, and structures. They also carry fleas and other parasites.
We work the active burrows with the right combination of trapping, baiting, and burrow treatment, then advise on habitat changes that make the property less attractive to the next wave.

Why ground squirrel & rock squirrel control is different in Arizona
The Sonoran Desert climate, block-wall construction, flood irrigation, and monsoon cycle all shape how pests move here. A treatment tuned to Phoenix conditions targets the specific harborage and entry points our homes create, instead of a generic approach that leaves gaps.
What our treatment actually does
We combine a physical inspection, exclusion at entry points, and a maintained exterior barrier with targeted interior treatment on request. The goal is to break the pest's life cycle and keep a protected perimeter, not just knock down what you can see today.
Recurring service vs. one-off spraying
A single spray fades. Recurring visits keep the barrier fresh through the seasons when pressure is highest, and the free re-service guarantee means anything that slips through between visits is handled at no extra cost.

When ground squirrels are worst in the Valley
Ground squirrels activity runs in two waves, heaviest in spring and again in fall as they tunnel through cooler, workable soil.

What Valley homeowners get told about Ground Squirrel & Rock Squirrel Control
One good spray takes care of it for good.
A single treatment knocks down what's active today, but Phoenix & the Valley's season-long pressure rebuilds the population within weeks. Lasting control comes from a maintained barrier, which is why every recurring plan re-services for free between visits.
If I don't see them, they're already gone.
Most ground squirrel & rock squirrel control activity happens in wall voids, attics, and harborage you never see. Quiet rarely means clear, it usually means they have simply moved out of sight and kept breeding.
Store-bought sprays work just as well.
Retail products kill on contact but do not reach the harborage or break the breeding cycle, and they wear off fast in Arizona heat. The knock-down looks like a fix for a week, then the problem returns.
Professional treatment isn't safe around kids and pets.
We place targeted, low-impact product at entry points and harborage rather than broadcasting it where your family spends time, with clear re-entry windows your technician walks you through on every visit.
Our approach to Ground Squirrel & Rock Squirrel Control
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 Phoenix & the 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 & the 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.
The Property Pest Control difference
Property Pest Control technician in the field across the Valley
Local Arizona expertise
We treat Phoenix & the Valley homes week in and week out, so we know how local pests behave in our climate, soils, and construction styles, not a national playbook. That local read is what lets us solve problems national chains keep coming back for.
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.
Rated 5.0 across the Valley

They can carry fleas and parasites and their burrows undermine hardscape and foundations, so control is about property protection as well as nuisance.
How much does it cost?
Most homes are covered on a recurring plan from $49 a month with a free re-service guarantee, and standalone jobs are quoted after a quick inspection. Either way, you get a firm number before any work begins.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes. Every recurring plan includes free re-service if the pest returns between scheduled visits, with no long-term contract.
Ready to get the pests out, and keep them out?
Recurring plans start at $49/month with a free re-service guarantee between visits.
