Scorpions and black widows stay active through a long season
Las Cruces' Chihuahuan Desert climate keeps scorpions and black widows active in homes for much of the year, especially in neighborhoods bordering open desert.

Las Cruces sits in the Mesilla Valley beneath the jagged Organ Mountains, where desert scorpions and black widows stay active through a long warm season, surrounding pecan orchards and irrigated farmland bring their own pest pressure into town, and New Mexico State University drives a wave of rental turnover every fall. Our AI systems keep the phones covered across the Mesilla Valley.
Typical Las Cruces implementation goes live in about 30-60 days.
