Pure Home Pest connects Show Low homeowners with independent providers, serving the town named after a card game that settled a 100,000 acre land dispute.
Call (844) 924-1337Show Low got its name from a card game. In the 1870s, ranchers Corydon Cooley and Marion Clark ran cattle on the same range and finally agreed to settle a dispute over roughly 100,000 acres with a hand of Seven Up rather than a fight, on the condition that whoever showed the lower card won. Clark reportedly told Cooley to show low, and Cooley drew the deuce of clubs, low enough to take the whole spread. The town's main street is still named Deuce of Clubs today, and Show Low's charter genuinely settles a tied mayoral election by drawing cards rather than holding a runoff. The town also sits noticeably higher and cooler than most of Arizona, tucked into ponderosa pine country in the White Mountains, which shifts a few local pest patterns compared to the low desert without changing the basics of what a home here needs protected.
Arizona's structural pest control industry is licensed and regulated by the Pest Management Division of the Arizona Department of Agriculture, the current successor to what was once the standalone Arizona Structural Pest Control Commission before that authority was folded into the Department. Individual applicators are certified under specific categories rather than one blanket license, including Category 1 for general industrial and institutional pest management, Category 2a and 2b covering wood destroying organism treatment and inspection, ornamental and turf, right of way, aquatic, and fumigation, with fumigation businesses required to submit termite action reports within a set window after service. Any company performing this work for hire must hold a separate Business License in addition to its certified applicators. Nuisance wildlife removal sits outside this system in most cases: species like raccoons, bats, and tree squirrels generally require a Wildlife Service License from the Arizona Game and Fish Department instead, though pest management licensees are permitted to handle most other rodent control without that separate wildlife license.
