If you’ve lived in Marana for more than a few days, you know that our beautiful Sonoran Desert landscape comes with a few “uninvited guests.” Whether you’re settling into a brand-new build in Gladden Farms (85653), enjoying the scenic views in Dove Mountain (85658), or raising a family in the heart of Continental Ranch (85653), your home is a prime target for Arizona’s most notorious pests: scorpions and termites.
At Bucksworth Home Services, we believe your home should be your sanctuary, not a playground for creepy crawlies. We understand the frustration of finding a bark scorpion near your child’s playroom or worrying about the structural integrity of your house because of subterranean termites. You deserve a pest-free home without the stress, and we’re here to make that happen.
The Problem: Why Marana Homes Are Pest Magnets
Marana is one of the fastest-growing areas in Pima County. While the new developments in neighborhoods like San Lucas and Casas Adobes are beautiful, the construction process often displaces native pests. When we dig into the desert soil to build homes, we’re essentially ringing the dinner bell for scorpions and termites.
Arizona Bark Scorpions are unique because they love to climb. They can squeeze through a gap as thin as a credit card. Meanwhile, termites work silently underground, often going unnoticed until thousands of dollars in damage has already been done. If you’ve noticed 9 signs of bug infestation in your home, it’s time to act before a small problem becomes a major headache.

Your Guide to a Pest-Free Home
You shouldn’t have to be a pest expert to keep your home safe. That’s our job. Bucksworth Home Services was founded in 2013 by Arizona natives Jordan and Taylor Moore. We aren’t a giant, faceless corporation; we are a family-owned business that knows exactly what Marana homeowners are dealing with.
We don’t just “spray and pray.” We use a targeted approach designed for the specific biology of desert pests. Best of all? We don’t use masks. Our products and application methods are so precise and professional that there’s no need for the “scary mask” look that makes you wonder if it’s safe to be in your own kitchen. We provide friendly, effective service that lets you get back to your life immediately.
Targeted Scorpion Solutions in Marana
The Arizona Bark Scorpion is the only scorpion in our area that can truly climb vertical surfaces. This means they aren’t just on your floor; they’re on your walls, your ceiling, and potentially in your bedding.
Our Bi-monthly (Scorpion/Platinum) service is specifically engineered to create a barrier that scorpions simply cannot cross. Because scorpions have a unique exoskeleton, standard pest control often doesn’t work on them. We use specialized products that stick to their legs and bodies, ensuring the colony is eliminated.
Why Bi-monthly (Scorpion/Platinum)?
- Frequency: We come out every other month to reinforce the barrier.
- Precision: We target the “hot spots” like block walls, rock features, and entry points.
- Peace of Mind: If you see a scorpion between visits, we come back for free.
The Silent Threat: Marana Termite Control
If scorpions are the “jump scare” of the desert, termites are the “slow-burn horror movie.” In Marana, it’s not a matter of if you will get termites, but when. Subterranean termites thrive in our soil and can eat through the framing of your home 24/7.
For those building new homes in the 85653 or 85658 zip codes, we offer New Construction Termite Pre-Treats. This is the gold standard of protection, treating the soil before the slab is even poured. If you’ve already moved in, don’t worry. We offer comprehensive termite inspections and treatments that can be added to any pest plan.
Don’t wait for the damage to start. Get your termite protection as an add-on for Starting at $30/month.
