About Firehouse
Founder-led pest control from Gilbert, Arizona.
Firehouse Pest Control Services, LLC was founded in 2017 by Eric Salgado and Colten Gonzales. The company is based at 1090 S Gilbert Rd and serves Arizona homes and businesses dealing with scorpions, termites, rodents, roaches, ants, mosquitoes, spiders, bed bugs, and everyday pest pressure.
Gilbert roots
Family-owned since 2017.
Local proof
The people behind the Firehouse name.
Firehouse is built around Eric Salgado, Colten Gonzales, their families, and the Gilbert community the company serves from 1090 S Gilbert Rd.
How we work
A pest plan built around Arizona, not a national playbook.
Most national pest companies take a playbook designed for cooler, wetter climates and adapt it for the Southwest. Firehouse was built the other direction. Arizona bark scorpions live in block walls and irrigation, not in basements. Subterranean termites work through slab edges and stem walls, not crawl spaces. Roof rats use citrus and palms, not maple canopies. Every part of the program — the inspection focus, the product choices, the visit frequency — comes from the conditions we actually see at Gilbert and East Valley properties.
That orientation is why customers consistently mention specific technicians by name in our 1,200+ Google reviews. Eric, Colten, Riley, Vanessa, Chris, Michael, and the rest of the team have repeat customer relationships because the work gets explained before it gets done, the products and drying expectations get communicated clearly, and the follow-up happens without having to be asked.
If something is not working — a scorpion comes back too soon, a re-service is needed, a treatment requires adjustment for new construction or landscape changes — that is part of the service, not a fight to schedule. The company is small enough that the technicians know your property and the founders are reachable.

Local trust
A pest control company customers can recognize in the field.
Firehouse is AZ PMD Licensed and Insured, with a 5.0 Google rating from 1,200+ Google reviews. That trust matters in Gilbert because pest work often starts at the front door, garage, attic, yard, or slab edge before a technician ever applies product.
The team explains the pest issue, the treatment area, and any drying or follow-up expectations before work begins. For Arizona bark scorpions and subterranean termites, that means looking at the property conditions that feed the problem, not only the room where a homeowner noticed activity.
Firehouse Pest Control Services, LLC is located at 1090 S Gilbert Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85296.
About Firehouse
Common questions about the company
Who founded Firehouse Pest Control Services?
Firehouse Pest Control Services, LLC was founded in 2017 by Eric Salgado and Colten Gonzales. Both are based in Gilbert and run the company hands-on, which is part of why technicians explain the work the way the founders would.
Where is Firehouse located?
Firehouse is based at 1090 S Gilbert Rd in Gilbert, Arizona. The location matters for response time and for understanding the East Valley conditions that drive pest pressure: block walls, irrigation patterns, slab-on-grade construction, citrus and palm landscape, and desert-edge neighborhoods.
Is Firehouse licensed and insured?
Yes. Firehouse Pest Control Services, LLC is AZ PMD licensed and insured. The license is the legal floor for pest management in Arizona; the insurance protects customers if anything goes wrong during treatment. Both are non-negotiables when comparing pest control companies.
What makes Firehouse different from larger regional or national pest companies?
Two things, mostly. First, the company is founder-led and Gilbert-based — there is no franchise office in another state setting policy, and the people answering the phone are tied to the technicians doing the work. Second, the program is built around Arizona conditions specifically, not a national playbook adapted for the Southwest.
What areas does Firehouse serve?
Firehouse serves Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Scottsdale, Tempe, Ahwatukee, Phoenix, Maricopa, Goodyear, Peoria, Surprise, and Glendale, with dedicated pages for each city and for several Gilbert neighborhoods.
