Pest Control in El Paso, Texas
Scorpions in the tub, roaches up the drain, mice in the cooler duct. Call us and tell us what you're seeing.
Living in the Chihuahuan Desert means sharing the yard with some tough bugs. Scorpions slip under the garage door on warm nights. Roaches climb out of the floor drain after a monsoon soaker. Termites can work under a slab for years before anyone notices a mud tube on the stem wall. None of it is unusual here, and none of it is your fault.
We run a phone line, not a spray rig. When you call, a person asks what you're seeing and where you live, and then we connect you with an independent, licensed exterminator who works your side of town. That company does the inspection, explains what they'd do and quotes the price. Whether you go ahead is up to you.
Most calls start with scorpions coming off rock yards and block walls, and the techs who handle scorpion control in El Paso see them all summer. Mud tubes on a slab edge are a termite inspection job. Roaches in the kitchen or crawling out of a drain point to roach control. Come October, the phone shifts to mice and pack rats, and rat and mouse removal starts with finding the gaps. No forms, no waiting on an email. Just call.

A mountain, a river and a lot of rock
El Paso sits around 3,700 feet with the Franklin Mountains splitting town down the middle and the Rio Grande along the south edge. Which side of that you live on decides a lot about your bugs.
Up on the Westside foothills and in Northeast El Paso off Transmountain, homes back right up to the mountain. Rock walls, boulders and gravel yards give scorpions endless places to sit out the day. After dark they climb stucco and block walls and look for the gap under your garage door. The one you'll find is almost always the striped bark scorpion. It hurts. It is not the Arizona bark scorpion people read about online.
Down in the Lower Valley, Socorro, San Elizario and the Upper Valley, the problem is water. Irrigation ditches and flood-watered yards keep the soil damp, so subterranean termites get comfortable, mosquitoes breed in low spots, and crickets pile up, which keeps the scorpions fed too.
Then the monsoon shows up, usually July into September. A big afternoon storm floods burrows and storm drains, and everything that lived down there heads for dry ground. Dry ground usually means your house. Our monsoon pest guide covers what to check after a storm.
Older stucco and adobe homes around Kern Place, Sunset Heights and the valley settle and crack over the decades. Newer slab homes out past Loop 375 and up in Horizon City are tighter, but every new phase that gets graded sends desert scorpions and rodents looking for a new address. Honestly, most of this can be kept to a dull roar by pulling rock back from the walls, fixing drips and sealing the garage door. The scorpion guide goes through it in order.
The El Paso Pest Calendar
- March and April: wind season. Dust storms grind down garage door seals and pile sand against block walls. Ants wake up, and termite swarmers can show up on the first warm, still days.
- May and June: the dry heat. June is usually the hottest stretch. Scorpions and ants go looking for water, which means under your sink, around the cooler and along drip lines.
- July to September: monsoon nights. Afternoon storms flood the drains and burrows. Roaches climb out, crickets swarm the porch light, scorpions follow the crickets, and mosquitoes breed in anything that holds water.
- October to February: rodent months. Cool nights push mice and pack rats into garages, attics and car engines. Valley calls jump when fields are cut and pecans drop. German roaches don't care what month it is.
People Ask Us

No. We answer the phone and put you in touch with an independent, licensed pest control company that serves your area. They do the inspection and the treatment.
Are El Paso scorpions dangerous?
The striped bark scorpion stings hard and can leave swelling and numbness, but Texas A&M notes no Texas scorpion is considered deadly to people. Small kids and anyone with a strong reaction should get medical help.
Why do bugs pour in after a monsoon storm?
The rain floods the cracks, burrows and drains where they live. They head for higher, drier ground, and your patio or garage is usually closest.
