Which pests get in, area by area

Living next to the coffee farm

A coffee farm is a stable ecosystem with shade, leaf litter and moisture. It supports ants and mice without bothering anyone until it is disturbed: pruning, harvest or a new development. In San Pablo, treatment of the houses along the edge focuses on the exterior baseboard, the perimeter wall and the spot where the garden meets the building.

How a visit works in San Pablo de Heredia

• Traffic toward downtown Heredia rules. San Pablo sits between downtown Heredia and the exit toward Santo Domingo and Tibás, and in the morning both directions are packed because of the Universidad Nacional and people heading down to San José. Appointments are set from 9 to 3, when you can cross the canton without a line of traffic.
• Rincón de Sabanilla is scheduled with Santo Domingo. It is closer to Santo Domingo than to downtown San Pablo, so the route is planned that way to avoid doubling back.
• San Pablo is served together with downtown Heredia and Santo Domingo.
• Condos: security is given the technician’s name and the license plate.
• Outside first, then the house.
• Who shows up. A trained, uniformed technician in a branded vehicle, green-label products and a report with photos. 30-day check once the plan is complete, with conditions.

Rincón de Sabanilla and the border with Santo Domingo

Rincón de Sabanilla is the district facing Santo Domingo, and it is where the coffee farms still matter. Some developments were built twenty years ago on what used to be farmland and others are being built now, and every new project pushes what lived in the coffee farm toward homes that are already occupied. Calls go up with two things: the harvest, between November and February, and the start of earthmoving on the lot next door.

What arrives is field rats and garden ants. Rats get in through the eaves, through piping that goes through the wall and under the laundry room door; ants make a trail from the perimeter wall to the kitchen. Rodent stations go along the property line with the coffee farm, not in the kitchen, and ants are followed back to the nest instead of spraying the trail.

Fleas: the grassy yard and the condo dog

San Pablo is a canton of houses with gardens and condos with shared green areas, and both have dogs. Fleas do not live on the dog: they lay their eggs in the grass, in the shaded soil under the hedge and in the cracks of the porch floor, and the dog just carries them. That is why, when only the animal is treated, three weeks later the house is the same.

The treatment covers the interior, porch and garden in the same visit, with the dog dewormed around the same days. In a condo it is worth letting management know, because if the shared green area is not treated, the reinfestation comes from there. What to take out, what to cover and when animals can come back in is explained in is fumigation safe with pets.

Houses from the 80s and 90s: termites and ceilings

A good part of downtown San Pablo is houses thirty or forty years old, with wood or fiberboard ceilings, wooden doors and frames and an attic connected to the eaves. The canton is damp, with drizzle much of the year, and that old wood is where termites show up: blistered paint on a frame, fine dust in the corner of a baseboard, a door that suddenly does not close right.

The termite inspection is free and starts with the attic and the frames facing the patio, which is where moisture gets in first. When the damage is from drywood termites and it is in a piece of furniture, the furniture is treated; when it is subterranean, the soil around the house is treated. It is not the same job or the same price, and that is why it is worth looking before quoting.
