Wildlife & RODENT in Your Albuquerque Home Are More Than Just a Nuisance
They're a serious health and structural threat that requires complete elimination—not just trapping
Structural Damage
Rodents chew through electrical wiring (fire hazard), insulation, wood beams, and HVAC
ducts—causing thousands in damage. A single rat can gnaw through concrete, lead pipes, and
aluminum siding.
Health Risks
Rodent droppings, urine, and saliva carry Hantavirus, Salmonella, and plague (yes, still in
New Mexico). Their dander triggers allergies and asthma. One family of rats produces 25,000
droppings annually.
Rapid Reproduction
A single female mouse can have 5-10 litters per year with 5-6 babies each. That's up to 60
offspring annually. Without complete exclusion, the problem multiplies exponentially.
Wasted Money
on Incomplete Solutions
Traditional pest control only traps the rodents you see. Without sealing entry points and
removing contamination, new rodents simply move in. It's an endless, expensive cycle.
Know Your Enemy: Common Albuquerque Wildlife
Understanding what you're dealing with is the first step to permanent removal
Rats and mice are among the most destructive rodents homeowners face. They chew through electrical wiring,
insulation, and wooden structures, creating serious fire hazards and costly structural damage. Once inside, they
contaminate food, spread disease through droppings and urine, and reproduce rapidly — a small problem becomes an
infestation within weeks if left untreated.
Bat Control
Bats typically roost in attics, wall voids, and soffits, where their droppings (guano) accumulate quickly. Guano carries the fungal spores that cause histoplasmosis, a serious respiratory illness, and the ammonia odor can permeate an entire home. Bats are federally protected, so removal must follow strict legal guidelines — making professional intervention essential.
Squirrel Control
Squirrels are persistent chewers that target roof edges, fascia boards, and attic vents to gain entry. Once inside an attic, they shred insulation for nesting, gnaw on electrical wires, and leave behind droppings and nesting debris. They're also surprisingly fast breeders, so a single entry point can quickly lead to a full colony taking up residence overhead.
Bird Control
Pigeons and other nuisance birds nest in roof vents, gutters, HVAC systems, and attic openings, causing blockages and buildup of highly acidic droppings. Bird droppings deteriorate roofing materials, clog drainage systems, and harbor bacteria and fungi linked to respiratory illness. Nesting materials also attract secondary pests like mites, beetles, and flies.
Raccoon Control
Raccoons are powerful animals capable of tearing through roof shingles, soffit panels, and attic vents to create entry points. Inside, they destroy insulation, contaminate attic spaces with large volumes of feces, and can cause significant structural damage in a short period. Raccoon roundworm, present in their droppings, poses a serious health risk to humans and pets.
Skunk Control
Skunks typically burrow beneath decks, porches, sheds, and foundations, where their digging can undermine structural supports over time. Beyond the obvious odor risk, skunks carry rabies and can damage lawns and garden beds while foraging for grubs. A startled or cornered skunk near an entry point to your home is both a health and property concern.
Prairie Dogs
Prairie dogs are highly social burrowing rodents that can cause serious
structural and landscape damage when they move onto residential or commercial
properties. Their extensive tunnel systems - sometimes stretching dozens of feet
underground - destabilize soil, damage foundations, irrigation systems, and create
tripping hazards. Colonies grow quickly and are difficult to manage without professional
intervention. Left unaddressed, a small prairie dog presence can expand into a full-scale
infestation that compromises your property.
Voles and moles
Voles and moles may be small, but the damage they cause to lawns, gardens, and root systems is anything but. Moles tunnel just below the surface in search of grubs and earthworms, leaving raised ridges and dead grass in their wake. Voles feed on plant roots, bulbs, and bark - often killing trees and shrubs from the ground up. Because activity happens underground, many homeowners don't realize the extent of the damage until it's already severe.
Opossum Control
Opossums are opportunistic wildlife that gravitate toward homes offering easy food sources and shelter - attics, crawlspaces, and under decks are common entry points. While they're generally non-aggressive, they carry fleas, ticks, and other parasites, and can contaminate food storage areas with droppings and urine. They're also known to damage insulation and ductwork when nesting indoors. Once they find a comfortable harborage site, they'll return repeatedly without professional exclusion.

Tony did an amazing job on a huge problem, and in the initial consult, Abel was very helpful at explaining what the problem was, what should be done, and why. They made sure that I knew everything I needed to know and that my dog would be safe. Highly recommend.

AWe hired BestPest Wildlife Control to address a Squirrel issue that the owner of the property was NOT willing to cover!
We couldn’t be happier about the service that Tyler provided, prompt, communicated with us whenever necessary, and explained everything he was going to do up on our roof. Tyler performed his job professionally and completely! His explanation was concise, easy to understand, and Tyler answered every question that I asked, without ever making me feel belittled or stupid!
Tyler stayed in contact with us, as they come out to check on everything and to insure that our wildlife issues were distant memories!
If I could give this company 10 Stars, I would!!!
You will not regret it, if you hire BestPest Wildlife Control for your own wildlife issues!

Abel came out and did a very thorough and fair bid for our large house that had a mouse infestation. Tony came out the day after the bid was accepted and worked extremely hard to get everything done right. He was professional, courteous, and a great guy. I was really pleased with his work, and I feel confident that our house is now as pest-proof as possible.

I was impressed and appreciative with Cody’s inspection. I had a bat that appeared and was “hanging out” over doorway for almost a week, and mice that have recently been invading exterior deck. Cody was professional and thorough in his assessment and very helpful. This is a great company for New Mexico to have around! Thank you!!

Brady was AMAZING! I had a skunk that was stuck in my empty in-ground pool for a week. I could not get him out. Brady came up with an idea to get him out and it worked! Brady was super patient, knowledgeable, and so friendly. I will be calling them again next time I need something 10/10.

Complete Attic & Crawlspace Restoration
Turn your contaminated space into a clean, energy-efficient asset
Why Attic And Crawlspace Restoration
Matters
Attic and crawlspace restoration both focus on eliminating contaminants, improving energy
efficiency, and enhancing overall air quality in a home. While the attic restoration process
involves removing contaminated insulation, sanitizing surfaces, and preventing rodent pheromone
trails, crawlspace restoration addresses similar issues by ensuring clean, dry, and properly
insulated areas beneath the home.
Our restoration
process:
We remove 100% of contaminated insulation, sanitize every surface with EPA-registered
hospital-grade disinfectant, eliminate all odors and biological hazards, and install
fresh insulation to modern energy-efficiency standards.
The result
A healthier home with improved indoor air quality, better energy efficiency (lower
utility bills), elimination of rodent pheromone trails (prevents future
infestations), and peace of mind knowing your family is safe from contamination.
Energy Savings Bonus
Most Albuquerque homes built before 2000 have inadequate attic insulation. When we replace
contaminated insulation, we upgrade to modern R-38 to R-49 standards, which can reduce
heating/cooling costs by 15-30% annually. The insulation upgrade often pays for itself within 3-5
years.
Restoration Services Include:
Complete removal of contaminated insulation
Disposal following hazardous waste protocols
HEPA vacuum cleaning of attic surfaces
Hospital-grade antimicrobial sanitization
Odor elimination and enzyme treatment
Air seal before insulation installation
