Arizona’s desert climate creates perfect conditions for Turkestan roaches, American roaches, and field crickets — especially in Cave Creek’s block‑wall neighborhoods, irrigated landscapes, and warm nighttime temperatures. Local Choice Pest & Landscape Nutrition provides targeted, long‑lasting roach and cricket control designed specifically for Arizona’s toughest species.

The most common roach in Cave Creek. They thrive in:

• Block walls
• Rock beds
• Irrigated landscaping
• Garages and patios
• Sewer Pipes 
• Attics 

Fast‑breeding and highly invasive, they require targeted treatments.

Large reddish‑brown roaches often found nearby:

• Drains
• Utility boxes
• Moist soil
• Irrigation systems
• Sewer Pipes 

They can enter homes through plumbing gaps and foundation cracks.

Less common but thrive in damp, shaded areas around the home.

The loud nighttime chirpers that gather around:

• Porch lights
• Garages
• Entryways
• Block walls
• Under slabs 

They attract scorpions — making cricket control essential for scorpion prevention.

Smaller, yellowish crickets that invade kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.

We identify:

• Harborage zones
• Moisture sources
• Entry points
• Landscaping conditions
• Rock beds and block walls where pests hide

Understanding the environment ensures long‑lasting results.

We apply a premium, long‑lasting product around:

• Foundation
• Block walls
• Cracks and crevices
• Rock beds
• Landscaping borders
• Patios and walkways

This creates a protective barrier that stops roaches and crickets before they enter.

Roaches and crickets hide deep in:

• Block walls
• Expansion joints
• Rock beds
• Utility boxes

We treat these areas directly for maximum impact.

For active indoor activity, we treat:

• Baseboards
• Plumbing penetrations
• Under sinks
• Laundry rooms
• Garages

We use low‑odor, pet‑safe products designed for indoor use.

We help keep roaches and crickets away with:

• Regular perimeter treatments
