Which pests show up in each area

Sewers and the American cockroach

In neighborhoods with old sewer lines, the big cockroach (the American cockroach) comes up through the bathroom or laundry sink drain. Gel won't control it: we treat the drain and seal the grates. It is different from the German cockroach in the kitchen, which is why the first step of the visit is to identify which one you have.

How the visit works in Alajuelita

• Two ways in, depending on the district. The center and San Josecito are reached through Hatillo and the bridge over the Tiribí River from the Circunvalación; San Antonio is easier to reach from the Escazú side. From 6 to 8 in the morning and from 4 to 7 in the afternoon both are packed, so appointments are set for mid-morning or early afternoon.
• Concepción and San Felipe are grouped together. The climb toward the hills takes time, and those appointments go together in the same block, with a clear landmark because many streets have no name on the map.
• Alajuelita is served from southern San José; date within 24 to 48 hours.
• Narrow streets: the technician coordinates on WhatsApp where to park.
• We explain to the customer what to check at the neighbor's, because the pest belongs to the whole row of houses.
• Who shows up. A trained, uniformed technician in a marked vehicle, green-label product, photo report. 30-day check once the plan is complete, with conditions.

Row houses and the shared attic space

In central Alajuelita, in San Josecito and in the neighborhoods of San Felipe, the typical house is attached to the one next door, with a party wall and a continuous zinc roof. Above the ceiling there is a corridor that runs the length of the row, and rats use it at night without ever coming down to the floor. That is why a customer who fumigates only their own house hears noises again two weeks later: the nest is three houses down.

What works is closing up your own house (eaves, pipe openings, the hole for the exhaust fan) and placing stations along the real route, which is usually the back yard and the sewer. It also pays to talk to the neighbor, because if the whole row is treated in the same week the result lasts months, not days. In mice in the house, what to do you'll find what you can do yourself before we arrive.

Mosquitoes in southern San José: small yards breed them too

Alajuelita sits at about 1,100 meters, lower and warmer than the north of the Valley, and in the rainy season it shares the dengue pressure of southern San José with Desamparados and Hatillo. The yard of a neighborhood house is small, but it has a laundry sink, a bucket, a clogged gutter and a flowerpot with a saucer, and that is enough for the mosquito to complete its cycle.

We treat the spots where adults rest, under the eaves, at the laundry sink and in the shade of the yard, and we leave you a list of what to empty every week. Without that part, in ten days it is back to how it was, and we say so up front so nobody pays for a treatment that won't last.

Tejarcillos, Los Filtros and the foot of the hills

Toward Concepción and San Felipe, in areas like Tejarcillos and Los Filtros, the canton climbs toward the Escazú hills and changes character: more land, more ditches, more brush right next to the house and less sewer coverage. What comes in comes from the land: field mice after the brush is cleared, scorpions among blocks and firewood, ants trailing in from the slope.

There the treatment is mostly outdoors: the perimeter, the slope right against the wall and the points where the ground touches the building. If you want to know the cost before writing to us, how much does it cost to fumigate a house has the price by size, the same one we charge in Alajuelita.
