Precision Pest Control inspects and treats homes across El Paso, from neighborhoods pressed against the Franklin Mountains to newer development spreading east across the desert floor. Desert construction here means different foundation types and different gaps than a humid climate house, so we start every job by figuring out exactly what we're dealing with before any product goes down.


Scorpions are the inspection most homeowners actually ask for by name in El Paso, and they hide in places a generic walk-through would miss entirely, block wall weep holes, rock landscaping, and stacked firewood along the property line. Centipedes and silverfish turn up in the same block wall gaps and bathroom cabinets during the wetter monsoon months, while rodents and ants both work their way in around utility penetrations on slab foundations common across the city. Cockroaches concentrate near plumbing and kitchens, and mosquitoes show up seasonally wherever irrigation or standing water collects, which is less common here than in most cities but not absent.
El Paso's housing stock is almost entirely slab foundation with block or stucco exterior walls, which is a completely different inspection than a wood-frame house with a crawl space, and treating it like one misses most of what actually matters. We start at the block wall separating properties, since the weep holes built into those walls for drainage double as one of the most common scorpion entry points, especially on lots backing up to undeveloped desert near the Franklin Mountains foothills. From there we check the expansion joint where the slab meets the exterior wall, a gap that widens and narrows with the seasonal temperature swings between our summer highs and winter nights, since that movement opens and closes access points a static checklist wouldn't catch.
Landscaping gets checked next, and in El Paso that means xeriscape beds, rock borders, and desert plants rather than turf and mulch, all of which give scorpions and centipedes cover close to the foundation that a green lawn inspection routine wouldn't anticipate. We also look at whether a property backs up to undeveloped land near the Franklin Mountains or an arroyo that channels runoff during monsoon season, since that proximity changes the pest pressure and how far out we need to treat. A downtown-adjacent property near UTEP with tight lot lines gets a different inspection path than a newer house on the east side with more open desert nearby, and getting that distinction right up front keeps us from treating the wrong problem.
