    About Eagar

    Eagar, at about 7,080 feet, and Springerville, about 6,970 feet and 1.6 miles to the north, together form Round Valley in Apache County, ringed by the White Mountains. Eagar was settled in 1879 by the Eagar brothers, irrigated hay and pasture still cover the valley floor near the Little Colorado River headwaters, Sunrise Park ski area is up the road, and the Casa Malpais archaeological site sits above Springerville in volcanic basalt. Cold, snowy winters and short summers mean the work here is mostly mice and pack rats pushing into homes, vehicles and barns each fall, overwintering insects on sunny walls, and wasps and yellowjackets in late summer, not scorpions.

    Round Valley at 7,000 feet

    Eagar sits at about 7,080 feet (USGS GNIS), and Springerville about 6,970 feet, 1.6 miles to the north. Eagar was settled in 1879 by the Eagar brothers, and irrigated hay and pasture still cover much of the valley floor near the headwaters of the Little Colorado River. Sunrise Park ski area is up the road, and the Casa Malpais archaeological site sits above Springerville in volcanic basalt.

    Winters are cold with snow, summers are short and warm, and monsoon rains arrive in July and August. That climate shapes which pests show up and when, so we plan service around the season rather than a desert calendar.

    Seasonal pest calendar for Eagar and Springerville

    What we typically see through the year in Round Valley:

    • Fall: deer mice and house mice push indoors as nights turn cold, and pack rats nest in vehicles, ATVs, snowmobiles, hay barns and outbuildings. Boxelder bugs, cluster flies and other overwintering insects gather on sunny south and west walls and work into attics.
    • Winter: rodents stay active in garages, sheds and wall voids, and overwintering insects can appear indoors on warm days.
    • Spring: carpenter ants become active in pine and older wood, along with other ants and spiders. Pre-emergent weed control at this elevation is timed for around mid-May.
    • Summer: yellowjackets and paper wasps build in eaves and ground nests, peaking in late summer. Flies build up around livestock, and mosquitoes breed near irrigation and standing water after monsoon rains.

    Mice, pack rats and hantavirus

    The Arizona Department of Health Services says the deer mouse is the primary hantavirus carrier in Arizona, that most cases are reported from northern Arizona, and Apache County was among the counties with confirmed cases in 2024.

    Do not sweep or vacuum droppings dry — that puts dust in the air. Open doors and windows to ventilate a closed building first, spray droppings and nests with disinfectant, let them soak, then wet-wipe with disposable materials while wearing gloves and bag the waste.

    If you find heavy droppings, nests or a pack rat midden in a barn, cabin or vehicle, call us before you disturb it. We handle rodent removal and exclusion on the house and the outbuildings together.

    Are scorpions a concern in Round Valley?

    Not usually. University of Arizona Extension describes the Arizona bark scorpion as a low-desert species. At Round Valley's elevation, with cold, freezing winters, scorpions are not a main concern, so we focus your service on rodents, wasps and overwintering insects instead. If you do find one, we'll identify it.

    Serving Springerville too

    Springerville is part of the same route as Eagar. Its older homes, shops, garages and ranch outbuildings around the basalt rim country see real pack rat and mouse pressure, and carpenter ants turn up in older wood. Springerville customers (ZIP 85938) get the same White Mountains team, the same branch phone number and the same service plans as Eagar (ZIP 85925).

    Greer, Alpine and Nutrioso cabins

    We also serve Greer (about 8,500 feet), Nutrioso (about 7,800 feet) and Alpine (about 8,050 feet), along with Concho and St Johns. Many Greer, Alpine and Nutrioso homes are seasonal cabins. Give us gate-code or lockbox access once and our licensed, background-checked technicians service the property on schedule, send notes, photos and GPS proof of service, and leave no door hangers on an empty house.
