From One Truck to Tucson’s Go-To Pest Prevention Team

Humble Beginnings

Rigo Pest Prevention began in 2008 when Rigo Arce teamed up with friends and partners John Patton and Stephen Holcomb. Together, they shared one main goal: provide excellent service at a fair price and use the company’s success to support the Tucson community.

Over time, their single service truck grew to become a full fleet with many employees. Rigo Pest Prevention built a route-based service model to reach the wider Tucson metro area without sacrificing the time needed to provide quality service at each stop.

Building Customer Relationships

Growth at Rigo Pest Prevention has always centered on serving more homes while keeping the personal care that built the company from the start.

Many of our customers have stayed with us for years, allowing us to get familiar with their property, pets, and personal concerns. When a technician follows the same route year after year, even a small change can stand out to us as the early stages of a new pest issue.

What Hasn’t Changed

Our core beliefs remain the same:

• We believe homeowners should be able to live without pests in and around their homes.
• We believe in clear communication and in doing what we say we will do.
• When something goes wrong, we own it and make it right.

Honest service, fair pricing, and strong warranties are key points for how our company operates. We do not hide behind long-term contracts or confusing fine print. We focus on accountability and steady, reliable work so customers stay with us because they trust us, not because they are locked in.

Our Pest Management Philosophy

A Proactive Approach

Instead of simply spraying everything in sight, our team focuses on long-term prevention. We use treatments, exclusion work, and practical recommendations not just to eliminate existing pests but to make it harder for them to return.

When we stay ahead of scorpions, ants, termites, rodents, and weeds, your family spends less time worrying about what kids or pets might find in the yard or along baseboards. This approach protects your family, pets, and property while limiting unnecessary product use.

Outside-First Service

Around 90% of the work we perform happens outside. We build a strong barrier along your home exterior, treat key areas such as eaves and foundations, and block entry points where pests try to get inside. Indoor treatments are available when needed, but we can protect most homes with an outside-first approach.

Seasonal Prevention Strategies

Life in Tucson follows a familiar seasonal rhythm, and pest activity follows suit. With seasonal weather patterns in mind, our technicians adjust products, application spots, and focus areas for effective prevention that matches local conditions.

Why Homeowners Choose Rigo Pest Prevention

Free Inspections & Honest Assessments: Rigo Pest Prevention offers free inspections for homes and businesses. After the inspection, your technician explains what they found and which services fit your situation, in clear written terms and with pricing.

Custom Service Plans for Homes & Commercial Properties: Homes, rental communities, and commercial sites face different pest pressures. Rigo Pest Prevention builds custom pest prevention plans that match those needs, rather than working off a generic service protocol.

No Long-Term Contracts: We believe in earning your trust with each visit. When service is strong and communication is clear, customers stick with us for years without any pressure.

Thorough Visits, Not Rushed Stops: Thorough visits lead to stronger results, and strong results mean fewer repeat issues and happier customers. We schedule visits with enough time for your technician to inspect the property carefully, treat it with care, and answer questions without rushing out the door.

Warranties That Back Every Visit: One-time pest treatments include a 60-day warranty, and quarterly pest prevention services include a 90-day warranty. If pests return during warranty windows, call us and we'll schedule a re-service visit at no extra charge.

Close Owner Involvement: Your problem matters, and our leadership is ready to help solve it. When a complex situation arises or a customer has a serious concern, we make it easy to get in touch with the owner for help.

Giving Back to the Community

From the beginning, our founders set out to build a company that gives back to Tucson. Over the years, we have supported local schools, churches, ministries, charities, and community service projects. Our team participates in local realtor groups, Rotary clubs, and other business and volunteer networks.

We see our role as more than treating pests. We use this business to strengthen neighborhoods, support local causes, and help Tucson families feel safer and more comfortable in their homes.
