Specialty Services
Beyond general pest control, Legacy handles the specialty jobs that need real expertise — bed bugs, rodents, birds, bee removal, and scorpion control. Every category below reflects work we've actually done for customers across the Valley.
Bed Bug Solutions
“We thought we would never be the type of people to get bed bugs — we're very clean people, and careful with what we bring into our home, but still got them. Phil at Legacy not only treated us kindly but comforted us, educated us, and of course got rid of the bed bugs. Thank you so much!”
“Me and my kids got all bit up. We called Legacy Pest Control and our bed bugs are no more! They came out right away and it was affordable.”
A common myth is that only dirty homes get bed bugs
That's the farthest thing from the truth. Bed bugs are no respecter of persons — they can come from a bird's nest outside, hitch a ride on a cat or child, sneak into your luggage from a hotel stay, or come home on clothing after visiting someone else's house. Don't be surprised if it happens to you, but don't try to fix it without us either.
Did you know?
Bed bugs may lay 200 to 500 eggs in a lifetime, can live over 300 days, and feed on the blood of human hosts.

Tip: Inspect your mattress before going to bed. If you're out of town, thoroughly check the mattress, sheets, and luggage — and be careful buying used furniture.

“Our kids' rooms are in our basement and they would always come upstairs in the middle of the night terrified of the “crawling monsters.” When we found mice droppings in our pantry, a neighbor referred us to Legacy. The kids are sleeping through the night now. Thank you.”
“I invested heavily in my landscaping, and seeing my turf torn up and lined with gopher tracks was so disappointing. Since using Legacy I haven't had any problems with my winter rye or bermuda.”
Rodents cause more damage than most people realize
Mice droppings are a cocktail of disease and bacteria, and a gopher will tear up even a well-invested lawn. Sticky and mechanical traps often result in inhumane deaths, and rodents that escape maimed just continue the problem elsewhere on your property.
Did you know?
The word “rodent” means “to gnaw,” and rodents are well equipped to carry out that activity. In the right conditions, a nest of mice can deposit 18,000 droppings.
What to expect from Legacy
- Inspect and identify the problem
- A full protection plan: vector control, sanitation, and remediation
- Baiting, exclusion, bait stations, and trapping
- Ongoing monitoring and follow-up
- Annual inspections
Tip: When cleaning up a mouse or rat infestation, don't disturb dust particles, feces, or nest materials — sweeping or vacuuming can release harmful airborne particles.

“We had dozens of pigeons all day long, the droppings were out of control, and the damage to the roof was the costly part of it all. Now that we use Legacy, we just have birds in the trees. Thank you.”
“My sons wanted to shoot them with pellets, but we called Legacy to humanely bird-proof our home and deter them instead.”
Bird droppings are nothing to take lightly
The bacteria Chlamydophila psittaci is common among pigeons and can transmit to humans, mostly through their droppings — infections often start with flu-like symptoms and can become serious. Beyond the health risk, bird droppings damage vehicle paint and the exterior of a home in ways that usually aren't covered by any warranty.
Did you know?
Pigeons gravitate to the highest perches possible so they can see predators before being seen, and they prefer spots with protection overhead.
What to expect from Legacy
- Inspect for nest sites on the roof and property
- Develop a pigeon control program
- Pigeon-proofing: baiting, exclusion netting, spikes, and wiring
- Effective, humane products
- A bird-free home
Tip: Don't feed the pigeons, and don't touch the droppings.
Bee Removal
“We were out back by the pool when the sun turned to shade — there was an unforgettable buzzing sound as we looked up to a huge, fast-moving cloud of bees. Legacy found the hive at a nearby cement company and moved them to a safer area. Our pool time is safer now.”
“We thought there were just a few dozen bees in the eaves of our roof, until our neighbor got stung. It turned out to be over 15,000 bees. Legacy moved them to a farm and both households are very happy.”
If you see a swarm, don't wait to call
A swarm of bees isn't fun, and it's not something to handle yourself. They may well be Africanized, which are extremely dangerous around the home to pets, kids, and adults. Don't panic — call us and we'll get you a solution.
Did you know?
The Africanized honey bee is more aggressive than most and has earned the nickname “killer bee.” They're known to respond to even slight disturbances.
What to expect from Legacy
- Bee removal
- Honeycomb cut-outs
- Commercial bee removal
- Bee-proofing and emergency service
Tip: For carpenter bees, treating each hole with a dust insecticide is effective since it won't soak into the wood. Leave the holes alone after treating so the bees crawl through it, then seal and repair in the fall.
Scorpion Control
“I felt like someone was poking me with a needle a dozen times, and then the pain got worse.”
“Our kids found scorpions all over the house — the playroom floor, behind a bookcase, the laundry room, even the garage. We had enough, and finally called Legacy.”
Nobody likes scorpions in their home
It's hard to find anyone who likes scorpions, even in the desert. We hate it just as much as you do when we get calls about adults, the elderly, or children having been stung — because it's preventable.
Did you know?
Scorpions fluoresce under ultraviolet (UV) light, which is how our technicians find them at night. Their venom can be dangerous, especially to children and the elderly.
What to expect from Legacy
- A thorough inspection of potential entry points
- Checking scorpions' favorite hiding spots — block wall cracks, water valve boxes, landscaped rock, and under stucco
- Night-time blacklight service after dark
- Certified technician recommendations on prevention and home sealing
- Interior and exterior treatment — removing their food source encourages them to move on
- Monthly or bi-monthly service options
Tip: If stung and you notice trouble focusing your eyes, random eye movements, trouble swallowing, drooling, a swollen tongue, slurred speech, dizziness, cramping, blurry vision, or muscle twitching, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
