Ants behind the stove, mice finding a gap by the garage, a scorpion in the shed: pest control in Albuquerque usually starts with a specific problem and ends with a standing plan. Polaris Pest Control has logged 3,933 Google reviews and Insight Pest Control Albuquerque 3,195, while HomeTeam Pest Defense and Insight both sit at 4.9 stars. The reviews show the real split is between companies people stick with for years and those that draw complaints about scheduling.

Short answer: Insight Pest Control Albuquerque leads with 4.9 stars across 3,195 Google reviews, and its site lays out a set routine for each visit. Polaris Pest Control has the most reviews on the page (3,933 at 4.7), and HomeTeam Pest Defense matches Insight's 4.9 on 998 reviews. One plan the Insight site advertises starts at $59 a month, so ask every company what a recurring visit costs.

Insight Pest Control Albuquerque works from an office on Osuna Rd NE and treats ants, spiders, termites, flying insects, rodents, cockroaches and blood-sucking bugs, according to its website.

Our take: A 4.9 stands out, but it rests on fewer reviews than the others here, which is why it ranks last on volume. A solid choice if you like a follow-up call and a built-in system.

What the scorecard measures

The numbers on this page are pulled from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live star average, and review volume is how many customers have rated each company. Confidence combines the two so a 4.9 from a thousand people outweighs one from a dozen, and recency shows how lately reviews are still coming in. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What pest control costs in Albuquerque

Pest control is usually priced as a one-time treatment or a recurring plan, and the final bill follows the pest, the size of the home and how often visits repeat. Termite, mosquito and rodent work tend to be quoted separately from general service. We found one published plan price on a company site, shown below, and recommend asking each business for a written quote.

Job	Typical price
Insight Pest Guard plan, as advertised on its website	Starting at $59 per month

Plan price taken from the Insight Pest Control Albuquerque website in October 2026. It is the company’s advertised starting rate, not a quote, and other companies on this page did not publish a price we could cite.

Service areas around Albuquerque

Orkin’s branch page lists Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Bernalillo, Corrales, Los Lunas, Placitas, Tijeras and Santa Fe among its communities, and Polaris lists the Albuquerque area, Corrales, Los Ranchos de Albuquerque and Sandia Park. Preventive Pest Control serves Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Looking for pest control near me? Each listing shows a live phone number and directions.

Questions to ask a pest control company

Which pest do you think I have, and how will you confirm it?
Is this a one-time treatment or a recurring plan, and what is the cancellation term?
Which products do you use, and are they safe around pets and children?
Will you call before arriving, and how big is the arrival window?
What happens if the pests return between visits?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these pest control companies?

Are these rankings paid?

Businesses marked Featured Partner have a paid listing with us. Ratings and review counts are the real Google numbers and are never edited.

Is Polaris Pest Control the same company as Greenway?

Do I need a recurring plan, or can I book one visit?

It depends on the company and the pest. Some firms sell mostly recurring plans, so ask whether a one-time treatment is available and what the cancellation terms are.
