Our Story

## Built for Sonoran-Desert pest problems.

Marcus Reyes started Desert Shield after nine seasons of watching neighbors call national chains, get a perimeter spray, and see the same scorpions in the same weep holes a month later. The desert is different — and it needed a different playbook.

We built Desert Shield around what actually works here: microencapsulated barriers on block walls, 1/16-inch sealing to close bark-scorpion entry points, trench-and-treat termite barriers with slab drilling at expansion joints, and roof-line exclusion for pack rats and roof rats.

Today the team treats 4,200+ Valley homes with the same approach: inspect first, quote upfront, treat the right places, and back it with a re-service guarantee.

What We Stand For

## Four things we won't compromise on.

01

### Honest inspections first

We walk your property before we quote. If a one-time treatment is enough, we say so. If a recurring plan makes sense, we explain why.

02

### Property-specific plans

No blanket sprays. We treat harborage and entry points where pests actually live and get in — weep holes, block walls, roof lines.

03

### Upfront pricing

You get the quote before we treat. Same for recurring plans — no surprise add-ons, no fine-print charges.

04

### Local and licensed

Arizona Structural Pest Control licensed, QualityPro and GreenPro certified. Nine years in the Valley, focused on desert pests.
