Services
Termite Control
Our termite control specialists use Termidor HE termiticide to create protective barriers against subterranean colonies. We treat active infestations through soil applications and monitor for structural vulnerabilities. Services include annual inspections and repair recommendations for mortar joints and drainage issues.
Fire Ant Treatment
We apply TopChoice granular insecticide for season-long fire ant control. Treatments target mounds and prevent new colony formation while addressing moisture sources. Our approach eliminates existing infestations and creates protective barriers around properties using EPA-registered products.
Residential Pest Control
Our comprehensive pest control plans address common North Texas pests including spiders, roaches, and rodents. Exterior-focused treatments create protective barriers while interior services target specific infestations. We provide seasonal adjustments for mosquitoes and crickets using integrated pest management techniques.
Rodent Management
We implement exclusion strategies by sealing entry points and repairing structural gaps. Our technicians install and maintain rodent stations around properties while providing guidance on eliminating food sources. Services include monitoring for new activity and reapplication as needed.
Spider & Wasp Removal
Our technicians remove spider webs and wasp nests up to 20 feet using specialized equipment. We treat eaves, window frames, and door frames to prevent re-infestation. Seasonal services focus on spring and fall when pests are most active in North Texas.
