Pest Control in Sunland Park, New Mexico

Sunland Park sits right against El Paso's Westside, in Doña Ana County, near the spot where Texas, New Mexico and Mexico meet. Mount Cristo Rey rises over town and the Rio Grande runs along the edge. Older neighborhoods like Anapra sit close to the river, and newer subdivisions spread west toward Santa Teresa on open mesa.

Rock, sand and river bottom in one small town means a bit of everything: scorpions on the hills, rodents and roaches near the river, and ants on the mesa.

Licensed in New Mexico, not Texas

Plenty of Sunland Park residents work, shop and go to school in El Paso, and the bugs don't care about the state line either. The paperwork does. Pest control work in New Mexico is licensed through the New Mexico Department of Agriculture, so always tell us which side of the line you live on. That way you hear from a company that can legally do the work at your house. If you live in Santa Teresa or out toward the industrial park, the same rule applies. Give us the address and we'll sort out who can come.

Scorpions below Mount Cristo Rey

Homes near Mount Cristo Rey and the rocky hills around it get scorpions all summer, and the newer homes out toward Santa Teresa get them from the open desert. Keep rocks and debris back from the house, seal gaps around doors and windows, use yellow bulbs on the porch light and check shoes left outside. A scorpion control visit near Mount Cristo Rey can seal and treat the perimeter. The El Paso scorpion guide works just as well on this side of the line, and the Westside across the line has the same rock-yard scorpion pressure.

Anapra's small lots and shared walls

Anapra homes sit on small lots close together near the river, with older doors, older pipes and damper soil. Mice, roaches and termites are the common calls. Since pests move easily from one yard to the next, it helps to talk with the neighbors. Treating one house while the next one stays infested makes the job harder for everybody.

Keep drain covers tight, seal gaps around plumbing, and watch the base of the walls for mud tubes. If you find rodent droppings, wet them with disinfectant and wipe them up with gloves on, never sweep or vacuum them dry. Ask about rodent exclusion for older homes for the gaps around old doors and pipes, and roach treatment for drains and kitchens for both German and American roaches. Older wood near damp soil is a reason to get a termite inspection near the river. Along the river, the Upper Valley deals with the same river-bottom pests.
