Arizona City is an unincorporated community south of Casa Grande, between Interstate 8 and Interstate 10. Homes are a mix of slab-on-grade houses and manufactured homes on large desert lots. Many lots still have open desert between them, so scorpions, spiders and pack rats live very close to the house.
Manufactured homes need a different pest plan from slab homes. The space under the home, behind the skirting, stays shaded and cooler. Rodents, roaches, black widows and scorpions shelter there, and gaps where plumbing and wiring go up into the floor let them inside.
Subterranean termites also reach manufactured homes through piers, skirting and wood steps that touch the soil. Treating the soil around piers and checking under the home once a year catches problems early.
