About Cactus Bug Co.

A small valley
pest crew doing
careful work.

Founded in Mesa in 2019. Family-owned. Four field techs. We treat homes from central Phoenix to Gilbert and we do not try to be everywhere else.

PORTFOLIO NOTECactus Bug Co. is a fictional company built as a portfolio piece for Sonoran Leads. The story below is illustrative.

Elena Torres, fictional founder of Cactus Bug Co.

"I started Cactus Bug Co. because my landscaping clients kept asking me what to do about scorpions."

Before Cactus Bug Co., Elena ran a small native-plant landscaping crew across the east valley. The pest questions started with new builds backing up to open desert, citrus growers losing fruit to rats, and parents worried about bark scorpions inside.

In 2019 she got her commercial applicator license, brought on one tech, and started taking the calls herself. The crew is now four people across two trucks.

The pitch has not changed: tell the customer what you found, tell them what you are applying, tell them what to do next, and do not sell anything they do not need.

"We are not the cheapest. We are also not the biggest. We just want to be the one you keep."
