Emergency Pest Control Services
A wasp nest blocking the only door to your backyard. A scorpion on the bedroom floor at midnight. For homeowners, these are not situations that can wait for a routine appointment next week. Because immediate safety risks require fast action, effective emergency pest control is critical.
Manzano Pest Management understands that some pest situations require urgent attention. We serve homes and businesses across the metro and prioritize calls that involve safety risks. Additionally, we offer commercial pest control for businesses facing compliance emergencies.
What Qualifies as a Pest Emergency?
Not every pest sighting requires an emergency response. Understanding the difference helps you decide whether to call immediately.
Situations That May Require Urgent Attention
-
Stinging insect nests blocking an entryway. If someone has an allergy, our wasp removal team should be called immediately.
-
Venomous pests inside living spaces, such as a scorpion in a bedroom. Our scorpion control services handle these safely.
-
Rodents in commercial food prep areas or other situations that threaten a health inspection. Our rodent control team addresses these quickly.
-
Wildlife inside the home, such as a raccoon in the attic. Because these animals pose health risks, our wildlife removal service is required.
Situations That Usually Do Not Require an Emergency Call
-
A single ant trail in the kitchen, which can wait for standard ant control.
-
A spider web on an exterior porch, which is easily handled by our spider control team.
-
Occasional rodent droppings in a garage, which warrant an inspection but not an emergency.
-
Mosquitoes in the yard, which can be managed with our mosquito control service.
What to Expect When You Call for Emergency Service
If you call with an urgent pest situation, here is what you should be prepared to provide:
-
The type of pest you are seeing.
-
The location of the problem.
-
Whether anyone in the household or business has allergies that make the situation more urgent.
-
Your address and contact information.
We will assess the situation and advise you on the best course of action.
Emergency Situations We Commonly Address
The pests most likely to create urgent situations in the Albuquerque metro include:
Stinging Insects
Wasp nests near entryways or outdoor seating can create immediate safety risks. Because of this, our wasp removal service addresses active nests safely.
Scorpions
Finding a scorpion indoors is unsettling. While local species are not highly venomous, a scorpion in a living space warrants prompt attention. Our scorpion control services handle these safely.
Rodents in Commercial Spaces
A rodent sighting in a restaurant kitchen is a compliance emergency. Health inspectors can close a business for rodent activity. Therefore, our commercial pest control service is critical for immediate remediation.
Wildlife Inside Structures
A raccoon in the attic or a bat in a living space is a situation that should not wait. Because these animals pose health risks, our wildlife removal service is required.
How to Prepare for an Emergency Visit
If an urgent appointment is scheduled, a few steps can help the technician work efficiently:
-
Do not approach the pest. Keep children and pets away.
-
If the pest is a stinging insect, keep everyone out of the immediate vicinity.
-
Clear access to the affected area if it is safe.
-
Note where you have seen the pest so the technician can focus the inspection. Just as you would prepare for bed bug extermination, access is key.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I have a wasp nest near my door?
Do not attempt to remove the nest yourself. Because wasps can sting repeatedly, keep everyone away and call for professional assistance.
What should I do if I find a scorpion in my house?
Do not handle the scorpion with your bare hands. If you can safely contain it under a glass, do so. Otherwise, keep children and pets away and contact our scorpion control team.
