Spider Control

Our comprehensive spider control targets dangerous species like black widows and brown recluses. Treatments include perimeter sprays, crawl space applications, and seasonal maintenance. We use residual insecticides to create protective barriers while ensuring safety for families and pets during treatments.

Rodent Removal

Professional rodent control addresses mice, rats, and deer mice infestations. Our technicians implement exclusion techniques, sanitation recommendations, and humane trapping systems. We prioritize sealing entry points and preventing property damage from gnawing while addressing health risks associated with rodent-borne diseases.

Pre-Emergent Weed Control

Customized pre-emergent weed treatments prevent dandelions, crabgrass, and broadleaf weeds. Our herbicide applications target germinating seeds before they establish, protecting lawns and landscaped areas. Treatments are timed with local growing seasons for maximum effectiveness in Northern Nevada climates.

Stinging Insect Management

Specialized management of wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets. We safely remove nests while protecting beneficial honeybees through beekeeper referrals. Treatments include nest destruction, perimeter protection, and preventive measures for outdoor spaces, with emphasis on safety during yard work activities.

Tree & Shrub Protection

Systemic injections and dormant oil treatments protect trees and shrubs from aphids, borers, and scale insects. Our seasonal programs include spring injections for long-term protection and foliage sprays for immediate pest control. Services cover birch, ash, maple, and pine species common to the region.

Excellent thorough service. Roses survived the aphid infestation thankfully & no apple worms-now if the birds would just go away.

These guys are awesome. We were on a regular bi-monthly schedule with them a few years ago to come out and spray the exterior of our home for spiders. I originally picked Desert Roots because their products are pet safe. We got our spider issue mostly under control for a while and stopped service for a few years. After seeing a few too many black widows I contacted them and they fit us in this week.

They are courteous, professional, thorough and so easy to work with (they even remembered my dog). I've always been happy with Desert Roots and happy to use their services again. Thanks Kevin, Kevin and Cindy!

I have been using this company for 4 years now. They have always been professional and gotten rid of all our pests issues. Prices matched other companies that I had called before picking this company. Glad we went with them and will definitely stay with them. Just last week they squeezed us in and got rid of a wasp infestation in our new landscaping. Thank you Kevin and crew!

I found this business in the yellow pages.they seemed friendly enough, but, I thought it was odd that under no circumstances could I receive an appointment. After a 2 week wait, I got a 2 hour window, even though I requested first appointment of the day. My husband met the technician, who sprayed our SMALL single story home. I received an invoice for $180! OUTRAGEOUS! Do NOT use this company.total rip off!

I have used this company in the past and was happy with their services but not now. I called them out for a problem with mice in a shed and a squirrel. They were a no show for their appointment and instead showed up two days later. They were unprepared and no equipped to do the job. They refilled the bait trap and did nothing about the squirrel. The charge for this. $120. I'll find someone else in the future

Kevin came out and gave me a quote on Monday, 3/3/27/17 and came back today to do the treatment. Very professional and a job well done. Thanks guys for being so accommodating with my circumstances. Much appreciated. Will continue to use them as needed.
