Processionary caterpillars (procesionarias) appear in spring and are dangerous to dogs and small children — many providers run prevention treatments on pine trees in autumn. Termite damage is a real issue in older finca beams; certified providers use targeted treatments rather than blanket fumigation. Mosquito control near pools and standing water is best handled preventatively. Professional pest controllers (empresas de control de plagas) increasingly use environmentally friendly methods.
