General Pest Control
Year-round protection against the everyday pests that show up in Phoenix Valley homes — ants, roaches, spiders, and the rest — with a recurring service plan built around your property.
How general pest control works
- 1
Inspect
We walk the interior and exterior of your property to identify active pest pressure, entry points, and conditions — irrigation, woodpiles, block wall gaps — that tend to draw pests in around the Valley.
- 2
Treat
Your technician applies a targeted barrier treatment around the foundation, eaves, and entry points, plus interior spot treatment wherever activity is present, using products labeled for use around children and pets once dry.
- 3
Monitor
Recurring visits track pest pressure through the seasons — desert pests behave differently in July than they do in January — and we adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
- 4
Follow up
If pests return between scheduled visits, we send a technician back out at no extra charge. TODO(Citizen) — confirm the exact re-service/guarantee terms to publish here.

- Spiders
- Crickets
- Silverfish
- Earwigs
- Occasional invaders
Arizona homes deal with pest pressure that most of the country doesn’t — desert heat drives pests toward moisture and shelter, which usually means your house. General pest control from Citizen Pest Control is a recurring service built to keep ants, roaches, spiders, crickets, and other everyday invaders out for good, not just knock them back for a week.
What’s covered
Your plan targets the pests most common to Valley properties: ants trailing in along irrigation lines, cockroaches finding their way in through block wall gaps, spiders setting up in eaves and window wells, and the crickets and silverfish that show up once monsoon season hits. Every visit includes an inspection, so if something new shows up, we adjust the treatment rather than running the same routine regardless of what’s actually happening at your property.
Built around the Valley’s seasons
Pest pressure in Phoenix isn’t constant — it swings hard between the dry heat of summer and the cooler, wetter stretches of winter. A general pest plan that doesn’t account for that difference ends up over-treating in slow months and under-treating during peak season. We adjust visit focus accordingly, so protection holds up whether it’s 115°F in August or 55°F in January.

Frequently asked questions
How often will a technician come to my house?
TODO(Citizen): confirm your standard service interval (most Valley pest companies run monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly recurring plans) so this answer reflects your actual scheduling.
Is general pest control safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use products labeled for residential use and applied according to label directions, with dry times observed before pets or children re-enter treated areas. TODO(Citizen): confirm specific product re-entry guidance you want published.
Do I need to leave the house during treatment?
No — most general pest visits are exterior-focused and take about 15–20 minutes. You're welcome to stay home, and we'll let you know if any interior treatment requires you to step out briefly.
What's included in a general pest control visit?
Exterior barrier treatment, web sweeping for spiders, granular treatment around the yard perimeter, and interior treatment on request or where activity is found. Ask your technician what's covered on your specific plan.
Ready to get rid of pests for good?
Most Citizen customers get rid of pests for good at $79 a month.
