When something has already got in, the call is about getting rid of it. When nothing has got in yet, the call is about keeping it that way. Those are different jobs, and they need different plans. We handle both for properties across Corrales, whether the situation is an active infestation that turned up this week or a household that wants steady coverage through the seasons without having to think about it.
Corrales is a town of older homes, large lots, mature trees, and plenty of open ground at the edges. That combination creates real pest pressure, and it tends to come from outside the structure rather than from within it. Gaps in the foundation, utility penetrations, roofline voids, and the stretch of yard between the house and the property edge are all places where something gets in or builds up before it becomes visible inside. Call us and we'll walk you through the plan.
Treatment handles what is already present. Exclusion work handles what would come back if the entry points stayed open. Both matter, but properties that only ever address the visible infestation tend to see the same pest return within a season because the route it used was never closed.
Entry-point sealing focuses on the gaps pests use consistently: foundation cracks, weep holes, the joints where pipes and conduit enter the structure, gaps around door frames, and voids along the roofline. On a Corrales property with block or adobe construction, those points are different from what you find on a newer slab-built home, and the treatment reflects that.
Exclusion is not only about sealing. Conditions close to the structure, including wood stacks, dense ground cover, rock borders, and debris near the foundation, create harborage that draws pests toward the building before they ever try to get in. Identifying and addressing those conditions is part of how we approach the exterior on every visit where they are a factor.
The sooner you call, the sooner the pests are gone, and the call itself is where the plan starts. When you reach us, we ask about the pest, the property, and what you are seeing. That conversation gives us enough to confirm a price and a scope before anything is scheduled. You know what the visit covers before anyone arrives.
Availability runs every day from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM. For situations that will not keep, short-notice scheduling is part of what we do. Ask what the current schedule allows and we will tell you. For households with tenants, or businesses that need to stay open during the visit, the scope and timing are worked out on the call so the treatment fits around the people who need to be there.
A price agreed before every visit. Straight answers every visit. Targeted treatments every visit.
Corrales properties with crawl spaces, attics, and wall voids have a consistent pattern: the pest pressure shows up in the living space, but the source is somewhere nobody goes. Roof rats nest in attics and insulation. Cockroaches concentrate in wall voids near warm appliances. Moisture-seeking pests like silverfish and earwigs move through crawl spaces before they reach the kitchen or bathroom.
A treatment that only covers the visible areas leaves the source untouched. The inspection on every relevant job includes those out-of-the-way spaces, because that is where the nesting material, the entry points, and the harborage are. What is found there shapes what gets treated and where.
Crawl spaces with poor ventilation or standing moisture after rain create conditions that attract a different set of pests than a dry foundation does. Silverfish, earwigs, and certain ant species are drawn to that environment. Identifying moisture as a contributing factor is part of the assessment, and it changes the treatment approach when it is present.
Trapping and baiting reduce the active population. They do not stop the next wave from coming in through the same gap. On a property with consistent rodent pressure, the entry-point inspection is the part of the job that determines whether the problem comes back.
Droppings, trails and chewed packaging each tell a different story. Droppings along a wall line point to a travel route. Chewed packaging in a pantry or storage area tells you where the activity is concentrated. Gnaw marks near a utility penetration or a roofline vent point to how they are getting in. Reading those signs before any trapping or baiting begins shapes where the treatment goes.
Follow-up visits for rodent work are often recommended because trapping takes time to work through an established population, and because new activity can show up at a different entry point once the first is addressed. The follow-up confirms that pressure is down and that the exclusion work is holding.
The cost of a visit depends on the pest, the size of the property, how far the problem has gone, and whether the situation calls for a single treatment or a plan with follow-up visits. A small ant problem in a kitchen is a different job from a roof rat infestation in an attic with multiple entry points, and the price reflects that difference.
Recurring plans are priced differently from one-time treatments. A plan that covers the exterior perimeter through the seasons involves a different scope than a targeted call-out for a specific pest. Recurring plans carry no long-term contracts, so the plan continues because it is working, not because you are locked in.
To get a price, call us. We ask about the property and the pest, confirm what the visit covers, and give you the rate before anything is scheduled. We'll find the source and treat it right.
Stink bugs enter through gaps around window frames, door seals, and utility penetrations, particularly as temperatures drop. Treatment targets the exterior entry points and the perimeter where they congregate before moving inside. Interior treatment addresses any that are already in.
Earwigs are drawn to moisture and shelter, and they move inside through the same low gaps that other occasional invaders use. They are rarely a sign of a serious infestation, but a property that keeps seeing them usually has a harborage condition close to the foundation that is drawing them in. Treatment covers both the entry points and the conditions contributing to the pressure.
A bee colony inside a wall void or structural cavity requires an assessment before any treatment decision is made. The species, the size of the colony, and the location all affect the approach. We assess the situation on the call and at the visit before any application begins. Products are applied according to label directions, and the technician explains what the household should do before and after the visit.
These are pantry and drain pests, and they are almost always tied to a source: overripe produce, a slow drain, or a moisture point under a cabinet. Treatment without locating the source rarely holds. The visit covers an inspection of the likely sources, treatment of the affected areas, and a recommendation on any conditions that need to change to prevent a return.
Boxelder bugs congregate on exterior walls and move inside through gaps around windows and doors, usually in the fall. Exterior barrier treatment along the perimeter and around entry points reduces pressure before they get in. Interior treatment handles any that are already present.
Tick pressure on a Corrales property tends to concentrate along the edges where maintained yard meets open ground or heavy vegetation. Flea and tick treatment covers the yard perimeter, ground-level vegetation, and the zones where pets and people move between the two. The technician will explain any preparation needed before the visit and what the household should do with pets in the treated areas after application.
We serve Corrales and the surrounding communities throughout Sandoval County and the wider area.
If your address is in one of those communities or nearby and you are not sure whether it falls within the service area, call and ask. We confirm coverage on the call before anything else. Homeowners in Corrales often read the pest control service list before getting in touch.
Yes, a recurring prevention plan is designed specifically for properties without an active infestation. Maintaining a treated perimeter through the year reduces the likelihood of an infestation establishing in the first place. It is easier to keep pressure down than to eliminate an established colony.
Ask what the visit will cover, what preparation is needed beforehand, what the re-entry timing is for treated areas, and what follow-up looks like if activity continues. Those questions give you a clear picture of what to expect before anyone arrives.
Yes. Older homes with adobe or block construction, crawl spaces, or original window and door frames tend to have more entry points than newer construction, and those points are often in different locations. The inspection at the start of every visit accounts for the construction type and identifies the specific gaps and harborage areas relevant to that property. The treatment plan is built around what the inspection finds, not a standard template.
Properties with significant yard space and open ground at the edges tend to see pest pressure from outside the structure rather than from within it. Scorpions, roof rats, and occasional invaders like earwigs and stink bugs are common in this part of Sandoval County. Perimeter treatment and entry-point sealing are the most effective tools for properties where the pest pressure is coming in from outside, and a recurring plan keeps that barrier in place through the seasons.
Coverage of outbuildings depends on the pest and the scope of the job. When you call, describe the structures on the property and we will confirm what is included in the visit and whether any additional treatment applies.
The pest that showed up this week will not resolve on its own, and the one that has been building quietly in the attic or crawl space is already further along than it looks.

Every property is different, and the right service plan depends on what pest is active, how the property is built, and what level of pressure it faces across the year. The table below lays out the plans we offer so you can match your situation to a schedule before you call. Prices are confirmed on the phone once we know the pest and the property.
Call (505) 616-3289 and we will walk you through the options.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | Properties with high pest pressure or active infestations being brought under control | Every 30 days | CockroachesAntsScorpionsHouse CentipedesCrickets | Monthly visits keep treatment fresh during the most active pest seasons and help bring a difficult infestation under control faster than a longer interval would allow. |
| Quarterly | Year-round residential protection across all seasons | Every 90 days | AntsCockroachesSpidersScorpionsSilverfish | Four visits a year keeps a treated perimeter in place through seasonal shifts. Each visit checks for new activity and adjusts to what is happening at the property. No long-term contract required. |
| Seasonal (Spring and Fall) | Properties with predictable pressure at specific times of year | Twice a year | WaspsHornets and YellowjacketsCricketsAnts | Timed to catch activity before it peaks. Spring treatment targets stinging insects and ant pressure as temperatures rise. Fall treatment addresses pests pushing indoors before winter. |
