Warning, this story isn’t for arachnophobes!
Soon after we moved into our current home, we discovered that black widow spiders had taken over our backyard. They were in every corner and crevice and had even snuck in between some window screens and window panes. With three small children who constantly play outside, an infestation of poisonous spiders was our nightmare.
After trying several at-home methods, we caved and called pest control. And within weeks, the black widows were gone, thank goodness!
Whether you’re struggling with spiders, ants, mice, or other pests, here are some great pest control companies in Albuquerque.
When choosing a company, look for one that has experience addressing your specific pest (like termites or black widows) and that uses products that are safe for your kids and any pets.
Your technician should explain a treatment plan for you and ways for you to keep pests away in between services, like by raking leaves, mowing grass, or covering any exterior holes.
And, once the major pest issue is under control, most companies will recommend monthly or quarterly services to keep bugs and vermin at bay.
