Districts we serve
Tres Ríos, San Diego, San Juan, San Rafael, Concepción, Dulce Nombre, San Ramón and Río Azul. We also cover Curridabat and downtown Cartago.
Which pests show up in each area
1. Condominiums in Concepción and San Rafael
New homes with gardens on what used to be coffee farms: ants, rodents from the property line and mosquitoes with the afternoon rain.
2. Tres Ríos and San Diego, the town center
Shops, sodas and neighborhood homes: cockroaches and rodents in kitchens and storerooms.
3. Río Azul and the higher ground
Colder and damper: dampwood termites and mold.
Moisture and dampwood termites
La Unión gets more rain and dries out less than San José. A door frame or a beam with constant moisture is exactly what dampwood termites look for. If there is a stain that won't dry and fine dust nearby, it is worth getting the inspection before it reaches the structure. In how to tell if my house has termites you'll find the signs you can see from the outside.
La Carpintera and the forest edge
The La Carpintera hill separates La Unión from Curridabat and from Cartago, and much of San Rafael, Concepción and Dulce Nombre was built on its slopes. A residential development that borders forest or an old coffee farm has a neighbor that never moves out: established ant colonies and field mice.
In those homes the work starts outside: the boundary wall, the baseboard, the spot where the garden meets the wall and the planter right under the window. Indoor treatment comes after, because if the property line stays open the pest comes back within weeks.
Afternoon rain and mosquitoes
From May to November it rains almost every afternoon in La Unión, and in Tres Ríos and San Diego clogged gutters, flower vases and old tires in the yard become breeding sites in less than a week. The mosquito that bites you at home was born less than a hundred meters away, almost always on the same lot or the neighbor's.
Rainy season treatment combines two things: getting rid of whatever standing water can be removed and treating the low foliage and shady spots where adults rest during the day. The article on rainy season pests explains what to check in the yard before we arrive.

How the visit works in La Unión
- We come in on Route 2. The Florencio del Castillo highway is the backbone of the canton: Tres Ríos, San Diego and Concepción are minutes from it, and Río Azul and Dulce Nombre a little farther in. Appointments are grouped along the same stretch so that the morning traffic toward San José and the afternoon traffic toward Cartago don't eat up the day.
- La Unión is scheduled with Curridabat and Cartago; the date is confirmed on WhatsApp in under an hour and there is almost always room for the next day.
- Condominiums in Concepción and San Rafael: we give the gatehouse the technician's name and license plate before arriving.
- We check the outside first: on coffee farms and at the forest edge, the pest comes in through the garden.
- Night or weekend emergencies are handled the same way; the line is open 24 hours a day, every day.
- 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.
