Nothing is more irritable to a homeowner than realizing chewed pipes and wires or discovering an army of termites in your cupboard. However, there is no need to worry because that is what we exist for. For over 20 years, we have been providing pest and vermin control services to residential areas and commercial properties. The experience we have amassed over those years has helped us to position ourselves as the leading pest exterminators.
We take care of all forms of pests such as bedbugs, mosquitoes, and termites just to name a few. Our pest control company in Alamogordo NM has skillful and experienced professionals who offer 24/7 emergency services. If you require your property to be protected from future invasions or notice signs of an infestation, notify us immediately and our team will take care of your pest problem.
Our pest control services comprise several stages, each tailored to the client's needs.
The initial visit involves one of our well-trained exterminators inspecting the situation to see if there is already an infestation. The technician treats both the inside and outside of the building taking note of the hotspots and pests expected as per the environment and seasons. They will finally come up with a protection plan that is tailored to your household.
Our protection plan involves year-round pest control services to the premises ensuring you are not caught off guard. With adequate information collected in the initial stage, we provide treatments based on the four seasons, depending on the pest activities and changes they have adapted to. Retreatment of the property occurs every season, and we treat both outdoors and indoors to ensure you are protected from pests all year round. If pests make a comeback, contact us through our 24/7 emergency service, and we will treat your property.
We do these treatments according to the four seasons and the pest behaviours.
Since this is the breeding season, our treatment at this time prevents breading or cuts it short, ensuring there is no new infestation.
With the heat, pests are very active during summer. Our treatment at this time involves terminating the pests and securing the property from re-infestation.
Pests will most likely for a warm place as temperatures go down, which can be your home. Treatment during this time keeps them outside.
With the cold outside, pests may look for warmth inside your house during summer. Our summer treatment ensures your home is protected.

Spiders love warm and dark corners, wall cracks and air vents. They also string webs in the eaves of the house. While they may seem harmless, spider bites can cause a severe allergic reaction and anaphylactic shock.
Cockroaches love to lurk around the kitchen, especially in dark spots under the tables and behind the fridge or stoves. Apart from being a nuisance, cockroaches are carriers of diseases such as Salmonella and Dysentery, which pose a significant health risk.
If you have a pet, especially dogs and cats, fleas may infest your home. Fleas feed on blood; hence flea bites often cause swelling and itchy marks on your body. They also transmit diseases and cause allergic reactions.
To reduce pest pressure around compost and yard waste, keep compost managed properly, avoid leaving food waste exposed, and keep piles away from the house where possible. Poorly managed organic waste attracts flies, ants, rodents, and moisture-loving pests.
To reduce moisture-loving pests in bathrooms, run exhaust fans, wipe down wet surfaces, fix dripping faucets, and keep caulked edges in good condition. Damp rooms often attract silverfish, drain flies, earwigs, and roaches if small leaks are ignored.
To reduce mosquito pressure near patios and seating areas, trim dense foliage, remove water-holding clutter, and improve airflow where people sit. Mosquitoes prefer sheltered, humid spaces where they can rest between bites.
Sanitation conditions directly affect how difficult a pest problem is to solve. Food residue, grease buildup, clutter, standing water, and neglected trash areas can support ongoing pest activity. When sanitation issues are part of the picture, treatment often takes longer and may require more follow-up to hold results.
In apartments or multi-unit buildings, pests can move through shared walls, plumbing lines, utility routes, and common areas. That makes control harder than in a single isolated unit. A problem that looks small in one kitchen may actually be part of a building-wide pattern.
Preventive service may not always look like the cheapest option upfront, but it often reduces emergency calls, repeat infestations, and major treatment events later. For many properties in NM, routine prevention costs less than reactive crisis control over time.
House centipedes often show up in spring when lower-level moisture and insect prey increase. They look alarming, but in low numbers they usually indicate another underlying bug issue rather than a centipede conspiracy.
For mild activity, reduce humidity, use a dehumidifier where needed, vacuum corners and baseboards, and focus on lowering the insects they feed on. Sticky traps can help monitor which area is most active. Less moisture plus fewer prey insects usually means fewer centipedes. If sightings continue in multiple zones, Richard's Pest Control can assess the broader spring pest picture in NM.
Spring weather means more outdoor time for pets, which can also mean the start of flea activity indoors. A light infestation often begins with a few bites around ankles or isolated flea sightings in pet resting areas.
For mild activity, vacuum frequently, wash pet bedding in hot water, and coordinate with your veterinarian for pet-safe flea treatment. Indoors, focus on rugs, sofa edges, and shaded pet zones. Outdoors, keep grass trimmed and reduce damp debris where fleas thrive. Fleas rarely leave because you gave them a stern look. If the problem expands, Richard's Pest Control can help evaluate whether the issue is still light or already cycling through the environment.
Spring growth attracts aphids to ornamentals, porch plants, and sometimes indoor plants placed near sunny windows. While they are mainly plant pests, they also attract ants and create sticky residue that becomes a household annoyance.
For light infestations, rinse plants gently with water, prune heavily affected tips, and use mild soapy water on outdoor plant leaves where appropriate. Do not overfertilize, because lush new growth is basically an aphid welcome sign. If aphid activity around entry points begins drawing ants indoors, Richard's Pest Control can help you address the broader spring pest pressure around your Alamogordo home.

Other cities we serve nearby:
Seasonal pressure varies, but many areas see increased ants and stinging insects in warm months and rodent pressure as temperatures drop. We tailor prevention around typical seasonal cycles in NM.
Yes. German roaches require a strict approach: inspection, targeted baiting and growth regulators where appropriate, sanitation improvements, and follow-up. Quick action reduces spread and cost.
Rain timing matters. Some products need a set time to bond to surfaces. If weather is an issue in Alamogordo, NM, we can advise whether rescheduling is best.
Most modern products are low-odor when applied correctly. We avoid staining sensitive surfaces and focus on crack-and-crevice or targeted areas. If you have specific concerns, tell us before service.
Yes. Rodent control works best with exclusion first (sealing entry points), then trapping/monitoring and sanitation. We also advise on typical entry locations like utility penetrations and garage door gaps.
Reactive treatments focus on solving a visible problem now. Preventive plans are designed to reduce the chance of future problems, which often involves recurring visits, monitoring, and seasonal adjustments. They serve different goals, so they are usually priced differently as well.
Exterior conditions around the property often drive the indoor problem. Dense vegetation, heavy mulch, standing water, damaged screens, woodpiles, and poor drainage can all increase pest pressure. In Alamogordo, outside conditions often explain why indoor activity keeps returning.
Garages and storage areas often contain clutter, hidden food sources, cardboard, pet supplies, and overlooked access gaps. That makes them common pest zones and slower to inspect. If these areas are part of the problem, they can increase both the time on site and the complexity of the plan.
Hidden damage often points to a longer timeline. If pests have been active behind walls, under insulation, in voids, or around structural wood, the visible issue may only be a symptom. More hidden activity usually means more inspection work and a more detailed treatment strategy.
Yes. Clutter can block access to walls, baseboards, utility lines, and likely harborage zones. When technicians cannot inspect or treat efficiently, the job takes longer. Clutter also gives pests more shelter, which can make the infestation harder to reduce and keep under control.
