Which pests show up in each area
1. San Pedro and Sabanilla: apartments and student rooms
Tenant turnover brings bed bugs in used mattresses and German cockroaches in shared kitchens. We treat unit by unit and check the hallway and the chute.
2. Restaurants and sodas
Around the university there is a huge density of places that serve food. There we work outside business hours, with numbered stations, a logbook and the certificate with a QR code that the inspector asks for.
Old wood and termites
Los Yoses, Barrio Dent and Cedros have fifty-year-old houses with wooden frames, closets and ceilings. Drywood termites make no noise and leave no moisture: they leave a fine dust under the furniture. The inspection is free and is booked on WhatsApp with a date.
The sodas around the university and flies
Around the University of Costa Rica, along Calle de la Amargura and toward Lourdes and Vargas Araya, there are sodas, bars and restaurants built wall to wall. They share the same trash alley, the same drain and often the same colony of American cockroaches. But the complaint we hear most from owners is flies: the ones that land on the counter at lunchtime and the ones the inspector writes down.
Flies are controlled at the source, not in the dining room: the organic waste, the grease trap, the drain with residue and the gap they come in through from the alley. We work before opening or at closing time, with the certificate ready for the inspector. In flies in sodas and restaurants you'll find the daily routine that keeps the pressure down between one visit and the next.
Student move-ins and bed bugs
Montes de Oca changes tenants twice a year, at the start of each semester, and empties out in December. Every move shifts mattresses, sofas and boxes that came from another room, another canton or another country, and that is how bed bugs travel. They don't walk in from the street: they arrive inside the furniture and show up two or three weeks later, with bites in a line when you wake up.
In an apartment we treat the affected unit and check the adjoining ones, with the mattress, headboard and baseboard as fixed points, and a follow-up check two weeks later. If you manage a rooming house or student lodging, the article on bed bugs in Costa Rica explains how to check a room before handing it over.

How the visit works in Montes de Oca
- We come in through San Pedro or on the Circunvalación. The avenue coming from San José crosses San Pedro toward Curridabat, and the Betania roundabout branches off toward Sabanilla, Mercedes and San Rafael. University traffic in and out sets the order: the higher areas early and central San Pedro at mid-morning.
- San Pedro and Curridabat are scheduled on the same day; the date is confirmed on WhatsApp in under an hour and the visit is usually within the next 24 to 48 hours.
- Apartments: we work unit by unit and ask for access to hallways and the trash chute.
- Restaurants: before opening or after closing, with the certificate ready when we finish.
- 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.
