Living in Tucson is a dream for most, with our stunning sunsets over the Santa Catalina Mountains and the unique charm of neighborhoods like Sam Hughes, Catalina Vista, El Encanto, Sabino Canyon, and Armory Park. Whether you’re in the heart of the city in 85701, out toward the east in 85710, up in the foothills of 85718, over in 85745, or enjoying the views in 85750, there’s one thing every Tucsonan knows for sure: the desert is full of life. Unfortunately, that life often includes scorpions and termites trying to move into your living room.
At Bucksworth Home Services, we believe your home should be your sanctuary, not a playground for desert pests. Since 2013, our family-owned business has been helping Tucson homeowners take their houses back from unwanted guests. We know exactly what it’s like to walk through the kitchen in the middle of the night and worry about where you’re stepping. You deserve to feel safe and comfortable in your own space.
The Problem: Tucson’s Toughest Pests
In the Old Pueblo, we deal with a specific set of challenges. Our climate is beautiful, but the heat and the monsoons create the perfect breeding ground for scorpions and termites.
The Scorpion Threat in the Foothills and Beyond
If you live near the washes or in neighborhoods like Sabino Canyon, you’ve likely encountered the Arizona Bark Scorpion. These guys are the most common scorpions in our area and, unfortunately, the most venomous. They don’t just stay on the ground; they climb walls, trees, and can even hang out on your ceiling. Because they can squeeze through a gap as thin as a credit card, your home’s exterior is basically an open door unless it’s properly treated.
The Silent Destroyer: Termites
While scorpions cause immediate fear, termites are the long-term nightmare. In Tucson, subterranean termites are a constant threat to your home’s structural integrity. They work 24/7, eating through the wood and drywall of your home, often completely undetected until the damage is done. Without expert protection, your biggest investment is at risk.

The Bucksworth Plan: Your Guide to a Pest-Free Home
We don’t believe in just “spraying and praying.” We are your guides to a safer home, and we have a clear, effective plan to get you there. We’ve seen it all, and we’ve helped thousands of families get their “Bucksworth” with high-quality, friendly service.
Step 1: The Call
Give us a call at (520) 284-9930. You’ll talk to a friendly local who understands the Tucson area. We won’t give you a complicated runaround; we’ll listen to your concerns and get you scheduled.
Step 2: The Expert Estimate
Our technicians come out to your home in Sam Hughes, Armory Park, or anywhere in the Tucson metro. We perform a thorough inspection, looking for entry points and signs of activity. We’ll give you a clear estimate with no hidden fees or “bait and switch” tactics.
Step 3: Professional Treatment
We start the service using the best products in the industry. Our technicians are pros, they don’t wear masks because we use family-safe and pet-safe products that don’t require them. We focus on both the interior and the exterior to create a lasting barrier.
Step 4: Ongoing Peace of Mind
With our Bi-monthly (Scorpion/Platinum) or Quarterly (monthly pay) service cadences, we ensure those barriers stay strong year-round, regardless of the season.
Expert Scorpion Protection: The Platinum Standard
Scorpions require a different level of care than your average ant or spider. Because they are resilient and elusive, our Bi-monthly (Scorpion/Platinum) service is designed specifically for high-activity areas.
We don’t just treat the perimeter; we hunt for them. Using a combination of targeted barrier sprays and crack-and-crevice dusting, we eliminate their food source (like crickets and roaches) and kill the scorpions themselves. We also look at physical exclusion. If you have gaps in your stucco or around your vents, we point those out.
Properly sealed homes are much harder for pests to penetrate. You can see how we check for these vulnerabilities during our inspections, looking at everything from the attic to the outdoor electrical panels.
Termite Protection: Protect Your Investment
In Arizona, it’s not a matter of if you’ll get termites, but when. That’s why we offer specialized termite solutions.
New Construction Termite Pre-Treat
If you’re building a new home in 85718 or 85750, we are Arizona’s largest pre-treatment provider. We treat the soil before the foundation is poured, creating a chemical barrier that stops termites before they ever have a chance to reach your wood framing.
Termite Warranty Transfer
Buying a new home? We can help you transfer a termite warranty from the builder. This is a crucial step in maintaining the protection of your home.
Termite Add-on Service
For our existing customers, we offer a specialized Termite Protection add-on. For as little as Starting at $30/month, you can add comprehensive termite coverage to any of our pest plans. This gives you the peace of mind that if termites are ever found, we’ll take care of the treatment at no extra cost to you.
