Ozone Pest Control in Queen Creek AZ has what it takes to rid you of your unwanted guests. Living in the Arizona Desert you find a variety of bugs here. From Ants and Cockroaches to Scorpions and Black Widows plus the usual vermin such as mice and rats. Your home is inviting to them all.

Harry Davis is the proud owner of Ozone Pest control and has over 18 years experience in the industry, so when it comes to those little six and eight legged creatures you catch out of the corner of your eye scurrying across the floor then Harry is the man to call.

There are many pest control services out there to choose from and unfortunately many set up to charge you plenty of money and not deliver the quality service you expect and deserve. That's what makes this local family owned business different. Ozone Pest Control is and always has been built on the principles of giving its customers the best service available at a fair and affordable price.

"We truly believe that our customers come first, and when we are at your home, your needs are our number one priority. At Ozone Pest Control , we believe pests are not your problem, they are ours." says Harry.

I recently had a client who had purchased a home through me almost 12 months ago and she called me up in some what of a panic. She wrote:

"OK - totally freaked out here . . . we have swarming flying termites. I brought in a 'sample' to my bosses' husband (who is a bug guy) & he confirmed. He's checking with his boss about our options. I thought we had a termite warranty on our house, but is that only for the burrowing/tunneling ones or would that include the flying swarming ones also??? I can just see this getting very $$$$$. John's sister had them in San Diego & had to have their house tented. Yes, I'm completely freaking out. I wonder too if our home warranty would cover anything or our insurance policy. Have you guys ever dealt with this before????"

Not knowing the first thing about flying termites, I quickly forwarded this on to Harry at Ozone Pest Control and this was his reply:

The "Swarming flying type" is actually a form of a termite in all termite families. They are reproductive. When a colony gets so big it swarms to relieve the main colony and to grow elsewhere. The swarms then mate and build a colony. Tell her nothing to worry about, check the electric box on her home and see if the pre-treat label is on the door. This should tell her when it was pretreated and also how much time is on her warranty. Home insurance will not cover this, there going to have to get it treated. I can give a free estimate for what those charges would be. As long as they are Subterranean termites, and almost all termites in Arizona are, she will not have to have it tented. Also let her know her house is not going to fall down.
Harry.

My client had Ozone Pest Control over to view the situation and he quickly put the home owner at ease. My client later called me to thank me for referring Harry to them. She said he was "noticeably clean and professional" while he was in their home, and explained the situation to them very well.

If you notice "mud tubes" growing up from the ground to the stucco on the exposed concrete "stem wall" of your home, chances are you have termites. Don't panic, just give Ozone Pest Control a call and they will come out FREE of charge to further investigate the situation and if they turn out to be wood destroying insects then they will give you a quote to take care of the problem for you.

Ozone Pest control is based in Queen Creek, but services Maricopa and Pinal County including Gilbert, Chandler Mesa and the newly formed San Tan Valley area.

In this day of corporate owned big business, its refreshing to find a local expert who is passionate about what they do and does not leave you feeling short changed in the process.

One Stop Nutrition in Queen Creek is the "Cheers" of Nutrition Shops. They don't sell beer, but if your looking for a healthy shake after a work out then you'll find a friendly atmosphere at this nutrition bar.

Located at Power Market Place in Queen Creek, off of Power Rd and Pecos Rd, One Stop Nutrition is next door to LA Fitness and attracts many local area residents looking for a healthier lifestyle.

Kathy & Chad are the proud co-owners. They have been in business for a little over a year now and continue to grow from strength to strength. Both come from strong nutritional backgrounds and have a passion for what they do, and it shows.

"Our mind set is not to just sell – but to educate people" says Kathy. We want to help people determine what they need, but also just as important is to help them understand what they do not need. Some things that can be harmful to a person. An easy example would be if someone has a heart condition, you don’t sell them an energizer!

"We have the most awesome and loyal customers. Everyone is like a part of a family. We can’t believe how wonderful the people are that frequent the shop."

One Stop Nutrition offers a variety of products ranging from vitamins, herbs & minerals to sports nutrition, weight loss products, weight gain products, protein powders & specialty products. While I was there , a steady flow of customers came in, many of which ordered protein shakes, along with other items they needed for their health care plan. What surprised me, and pleased me at the same time, was everyone was on a first name basis, all smiling and genuinely glad to be there. Not something you see to much these days, especially in the big box chain stores where that personal friendly touch has been lost. Many have been regulars since One Stop opened its doors over a year ago, and those I spoke to told me they would not go anywhere else for their needs. They know and trust that Chad & Kathy are there to guide them into what is best for them, and they feel well cared for at One Stop Nutrition.

What their clients have to say.

This is the best place for post workout shakes – Strawberry and Banana is my favorite – they offer different flavors – but I always choose this one. Scott

My favorite protein shake is the Mass Gainer – I only come here! Sheno

I always come here because I know they are looking after me – not going to sell me anything that could be harmful to me for my goals. Kelly

Picture of Kathy with Jude. Judes proud parents are Nichole & Quint – One Stop is their destination for their nutritional and supplement needs. He loves the shakes that he and his parents come to One Stop for and they are good for him.

On top of the great service, they offer all-natural fruit nutritional shakes, gourmet coffee, free internet access and flat screen TV viewing in a luxurious granite clad environment. Whether it’s after a workout or stopping by in between classes, One Stop Nutrition offers a fun and relaxed atmosphere to obtain your health needs and their shakes are to die for. Something that tastes that good can't be so healthy for you can it?

Cathy explains "We offer shakes not smoothies" – The difference is smoothies are more of a desert, loaded with sugar. Shakes on the other hand at One stop have very little sugar and the best ingredients, utilizing the products they offer in the store. Fresh whole fruits, pureed fruits, vitamins & minerals. We can add different nutrients based on what you desire. We can change and add different ingredients and this can also be customized to your preferences.

Next time you are in the area, drop in and try something different. You will be greeted with a smile and a wealth of knowledge should you ask for it. It may change your life for the better !.

Copper Basin - Queen Creek AZ offers well priced homes & good amenities to its many residents that have chosen to move to this relatively new community. Going back to the year 2000, the area of Pinal County now known as Copper Basin was farm land and cotton fields.

The development saw its first homes being sold in 2001 and 2002 and with the Real Estate market boom, Copper Basin was seen as exceptional value in terms of price and the fact you were able to buy a brand new home for considerably less money than that of comparable homes in other areas in the South East Valley.

Back then gas prices were still under $2.00 a gallon and so the extra commute time for people who worked in the Phoenix metro area was justified when they saw what they could buy for the money.

As the market boom of 2004 and 2005 came along home builders had lotteries for the next available home sites to be released to the public and weekly home price increases were the norm. The market began to slow toward the end of 2005 from its record highs from that previous summer and as 2006 came and went, it was clear that home prices were not going to continue rising as everyone had first thought they would. Fast forward to present day and Copper Basin has seen its prices fall back lower than they were back in 2002, representing tremendous value for those in a position to purchase a home right now.

Copper Basin has as part of its Home Owners Association Dues, which are around $70 a month, access to the local YMCA swimming pool which is located at the center of the community along with the K-8 Elementary school and the local Rural Metro fire station. For residents looking to take full advantage of the other amenities that the YMCA has to offer then a discount is offered for home owners.

As of July 29th 2009 there are 36 homes available for sale, with home prices starting at $57,000 for a 1276 sq.ft 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom single level home and going up to $200,000 for the most expensive. If you are looking for the biggest bang for your buck, then try beating this. A 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom 4,156 sq.ft home with a 3 car garage and a pool offered at $183,500. That's only 44.15 dollars per sq.ft

There are 7 homes that are bank owned foreclosures, or REO's.

The market has begun to show signs of turning and competition for these homes has returned again. As of writing this, 71 homes are currently under contract in Copper Basin. Since the beginning of 2009, 178 homes have sold.

This Real Estate Market has found the bottom and multiple offers are slowing beginning to inch the prices back up again. Don't miss your chance to buy a home at these low, low prices. And remember, if you are a first time home buyer then you have until November 31st 2009 to buy a home and close escrow to be eligible for the governments tax credit of 10% of the purchase price up to $8000.

San Tan Heights - Queen Creek Real Estate Market Bounces Back as buyers fight over low priced homes in search of a great deal and begin to drive prices back up. The San Tan Heights subdivision in Pinal County Queen Creek AZ, or San Tan Valley as the area has just been named is located off of Hunt Highway just a few mile out of the Queen Creek city limits. The sub division has homes that were constructed from 2002 and onward, with the largest number of sales occurring during the 2004 ad 2005 Real Estate boom years. The sub division sits in front of the San Tan Mountains and has two themed lake water fall entrances which are beautifully lit at night. There are a wide range of single family detached homes here ranging in size from 2 bedroom 2 bathroom single levels, up to 5 & 6 bedroom homes with 3 and 4 car garages.

The party ended at the end of 2005 out here in San Tan Heights and for most of the other sub divisions in this area, while homes in other cities not quite as far out were still selling. This entire area of Pinal county Queen Creek was one of the first in the valley to begin winding back its prices as the effects of the sub-prime problems began to reveal themselves. Home prices in San Tan Heights at the peak of the market were in the $200,000 to $400,000 price ranges. Fast forward to July of 2009 and prices have would back to below $100,000 for many homes in this waterfall themed master planned community. As a result many investors, first time home buyers and second home buyers are realizing that right now the stars are in alignment and are jumping back into home buying mode despite what the media has been saying about the housing market of late.

With all the attention that the low prices have attracted in San Tan Heights, homes are receiving multiple offers and with strong competition comes bidding wars which as we saw in 2005 drives prices back up again. The main difference between now and then though is the fact that the price pendulum has swung from over priced to under priced, and the financing instead of being interest only, or negative amortization is now 30 year fixed rates and a lot of cash being offered. Add the fact that first time home buyers can purchase homes in San Tan Heights and have payments less than that of renting the equivalent home and with the added bonus of the tax credit that equals 10% of the purchase price up to a maximum of $8000. This credit is set to expire at the end of November 2009 so there is an added urgency to purchase a home before this time. Most if not all first time home buyers are financing their purchases using the FHA loan which requires 3.5% of the purchase price as a down payment, or due to its location San Tan Heights qualifies for the Rural Housing Loan offer by the USDA which has the benefit of not requiring a down payment from the buyer. Both loans will allow the seller to credit the buyer 6% of the purchase price towards the buyers closing costs at closing.

As of July 28th 2009 there are 50 homes in San Tan Heights for sale priced from $62,500 for a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom 1300 sq.ft single level and up to $275,000 fro over 2600 sq.ft with 5 bedrooms. There are a total of 8 homes that are lender owned foreclosures in San Tan Heights. Since the beginning of 2009 there have been 172 homes sold. There is only 1.7 month supply of homes right now in San Tan Heights.
