Common pests we treat in Los Alamos

Ants in Los Alamos

From sugar ants on the counter to carpenter ants in the framing, Los Alamos households see a range of species — and the wrong store-bought spray can split a colony into several. An exterminator identifies the species and uses non-repellent baits that wipe out the entire nest.

Termites in Los Alamos

Termites quietly feed on structural wood in Los Alamos homes long before any damage shows. A licensed local exterminator confirms whether you have subterranean or drywood termites, treats the colony at its source with a soil barrier or bait system, and sets up monitoring so they don't come back.

Mice & Rats in Los Alamos

Mice and rats slip into Los Alamos homes through gaps as small as a quarter inch, nesting in walls and attics and gnawing on wiring. A local exterminator combines exclusion, trapping, and sanitation so the problem is solved at the source rather than chased one rodent at a time.

Cockroaches in Los Alamos

Cockroaches breed fast and trigger allergies and asthma, and German roaches in particular resist many store-bought sprays. A Los Alamos-area exterminator uses gel baits and growth regulators that reach the hidden population sanitation and over-the-counter products miss.

Wasps & Hornets in Los Alamos

A wasp or hornet nest near a Los Alamos doorway is a stinging hazard that's risky to tackle alone. A licensed exterminator treats the nest at dusk when the colony is calm and removes it once the activity stops.

Bed Bugs in Los Alamos

Bed bugs hitchhike into Los Alamos homes on luggage and used furniture, and they hide where sprays can't reach. An exterminator typically uses heat treatment that kills every life stage in one visit, paired with targeted residual products and follow-up checks.

Mosquitoes in Los Alamos

Because mosquitoes breed in containers as small as a bottle cap, Los Alamos yards can stay buggy with no obvious pond in sight. A licensed exterminator treats resting foliage and standing water on a recurring schedule to hold the population down all season.

Spiders in Los Alamos

Spider sightings climb across Los Alamos each fall as males roam to find mates. A licensed exterminator de-webs, treats the perimeter, and cuts down the prey insects spiders feed on so they have less reason to move in.
