Signs your home may need pest control

Pests rarely announce themselves. These are common signs that something has moved in.

Ants or roaches in the kitchen and bath
A trail of ants, or roaches seen indoors, usually means more are hiding nearby.
Ants near the foundation or in the yard
Ants gathering around the foundation, doors, or walkways can mean a nest nearby. Fire ants and pharaoh ants are both on our residential list.
Insects collecting at one door, window, or crack
Pests showing up in the same spot over and over point to an entry point worth checking during the inspection.
Scorpions, spiders, or crickets inside
Seeing them indoors more than once suggests they are finding a way in.
Bites or scratching pets
Itchy bites on family members, or pets that keep scratching, can be a sign of fleas.
Pests that keep coming back
If store-bought sprays only help for a short time, the source may not be treated.

These are general signs, not a diagnosis. An inspection is how we confirm what is actually going on. If you are hearing or seeing signs of mice or rats, that is handled through our Rodent Control service.

What residential service covers

Treating your home inside and out

We work to eliminate existing pest problems and help prevent future infestations. That means the inside of the home and the outside perimeter, not just the room where you spotted the problem.

Pests on our residential list

Residential service targets ants (fire and pharaoh), roaches (American and German), spiders, millipedes, crickets, scorpions, and fleas. Rodents and bed bugs have their own service pages. For any other pest, call and we will tell you how we can help.

Property types

We specialize in old-fashioned service for farm, ranch, and weekend homes in Texas, and we also treat houses, apartments, and condos.

Prevention, not just treatment

The inspection checks your entryways and popular hot spots, and the exterior treatment creates a barrier against entry. That is how we aim to help prevent future infestations, not only clear the ones you can see today.

How a residential service works

1
Pest inspection
We start with a thorough walk-through of your home, checking entryways and popular hot spots for signs of pest activity.
2
Exterior treatment
We treat the perimeter of your home, where pests enter, trail, crawl, or hide, and anywhere nests are found, to create a barrier against entry.
3
Interior treatment
We apply products carefully into cracks and crevices to stop unwanted pests where they hide.

Before your visit

Make a note of where and when you have seen pests so the inspection can start in those spots.
Mention pets, young children, or anyone with health concerns when you call or book, and ask how that affects your visit.
Ask us before the visit whether anything needs to be moved or cleared. We would rather answer the question than have you guess.
If you will not be home, tell us. Our team will secure your home before we leave.

After your visit

Products are applied according to the label and in accordance with the law, lightly into cracks and crevices. Many times there is no odor at all.
We rotate products with each application, because pests can become resistant to certain chemicals.
Ask us how often your home should be treated. We tailor the work to the property and the pest, so we would rather talk it through than guess.
Between visits, small habits help: keep food in sealed containers, fix leaks and standing water, and keep trash lids closed. These are general tips, not part of our treatment.
If you keep seeing pests after service, call us. We will tell you how we can help.
