pest control in Southern Highlands
Southern Highlands is a guard-gated golf master plan on the southern rim of the built valley, bordering open Mojave desert and foothill washes. Scorpions, snakes and ants reach the homes from that edge, while tile roofs, mature landscaping and golf turf bring roof rats, wasps and termite checks.
The Olympia Group began Southern Highlands in 1997 on 2,200 acres, and it now holds more than 6,500 homes across ten or more guarded enclaves plus non-gated neighborhoods. It wraps the Jack Nicklaus Signature Southern Highlands Golf Club, a private course. A resort, two retail centers, a country club, parks and a fire station share the plan.
It is also the southernmost edge of the built valley. Past the last streets there is open Mojave desert and foothill wash, which is why a Southern Highlands pest call can start with something that walked in from outside.

Where the gate ends and the desert begins
A gate keeps cars out, not scorpions. Because the community borders open desert and foothill washes, lots on the outer enclaves can see scorpions and snakes arrive straight from natural ground. Ants come the same way, nesting in gravel and mulch beds near the wall line.
For snakes, do not try to handle one yourself. Keep a safe distance and call for help. A technician can find and seal the gap that let it in, and clear nearby cover. Scorpion control covers the most common of these visits.
Landscape stones and mulch near the wall line are common hiding places along the desert edge. Keeping a clear strip of bare ground next to the house, and moving woodpiles and stacked stone well away, reduces cover. A technician can show you which areas to clear before anything is treated.
Large lots, mature landscaping and tile roofs
Southern Highlands homes often sit on large lots, and some have been planted for more than two decades. Mature trees, palms and shrubs next to a tile roof give roof rats a route in and plenty of cover. The tile itself leaves small gaps under the edges where rats and birds can nest.
A technician checks the roofline, the tile edges and the attic access for signs, then follows the trees back to the wall. Cutting limbs back from the roof is a cheap first step. When rats are already inside, roof rat control covers trapping and sealing.
Large lots also mean more fence and wall to inspect. A roof rat that climbs a mature tree can drop onto an upper roof far from the ground, so checks should include roofline gaps at the second story and vents on high gables. Ask whether ladder access is needed and whether your HOA wants notice.
Golf turf, wasps and the termite check
Turf watered on a golf course feeds a ring of insects around it, and wasps are the most visible. Paper wasps use eaves and patio structures, and the water supply nearby makes the season longer than in a dry yard. Check shaded corners of the pergola and the underside of the eaves each spring.
Homes here were built from 1997 onward, so many slabs are twenty-five years old or more. The western subterranean termite is the main termite in the valley and works under slabs, so a periodic inspection of slab edges and plumbing entries is a sensible habit. See termite inspection for what one involves.
Because the community has many well-kept lawns and flower beds, ants and crickets are common calls in spring and summer. Treatment around the foundation and the irrigated beds is usually quick, but sealing entry points and fixing leaky sprinkler heads are what keep them from returning.
Working inside a guard-gated enclave
Gated enclaves often need your name on a guest list or a call to the guard house before a technician arrives. Tell the team which enclave you live in and how to get through the gate. Some HOAs set hours for contractors, and a technician will work within them.
If you live in a non-gated part, access is the same as in any other neighborhood. For a look at a similar desert-edge setting, see Anthem and Seven Hills across the city line, or Mountain's Edge to the west.
The golf course and country club are private, so ask your HOA before any work near their edge. A technician treats only the property you control, and will explain any products used near turf and play areas.

FAQ
Southern Highlands FAQs
How big is Southern Highlands?
It covers 2,200 acres and holds more than 6,500 homes, started by the Olympia Group in 1997. It includes ten or more guarded enclaves, non-gated neighborhoods, a resort, two retail centers, a country club, parks and a fire station.
Why are scorpions and snakes a concern here?
Because the community sits at the valley's southern edge, next to open Mojave desert and foothill washes. Animals move in from that ground. Sealing gaps and clearing cover near the wall reduces the chance they come inside.
Will a technician be able to enter my gated enclave?
Usually, once the guard house or HOA has your visit on file. Give the team your enclave and any gate code or guest process when you book, and they will plan the arrival around it.
What can I do about rats on a tile roof?
Trim tree limbs and palm fronds back from the roof, store pet food indoors and remove fallen fruit. Rats then have less reason to stay. Sealing roof edges and vents is the longer-term fix.
How much does a general pest visit cost here?
One valley company advertises general service from about $72 per visit, and quarterly plans are often estimated at $90 to $300 per visit. Larger homes cost more, and your price is confirmed on site.
