Rodent Control Services

Professional pest control includes: thorough inspection, identification of pest type and entry points, treatment plan explanation, interior/exterior treatment, and follow-up recommendations. Expect to see results within 1-2 weeks. Most services require 2-3 visits for full elimination.

One-time treatments run $150-$400 depending on pest type and home size. Monthly or quarterly service plans cost $40-$70/month. Termite treatments range from $500-$3,000+. Most companies offer free inspections—get quotes from 2-3 providers.

Modern pest control products are EPA-registered and safe when applied properly. Ask about treatment ingredients and safety data sheets. For extra caution, keep pets and children away from treated areas until dry (usually 2-4 hours). Many companies offer pet-safe and eco-friendly options.

Signs include: mud tubes on foundations, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windows, frass (termite droppings), bubbling paint, and sagging floors. Annual termite inspections ($75-$150) are recommended in Texas. Subterranean termites cause most damage here.

Texas homes commonly deal with: fire ants (year-round), cockroaches (especially German and American roaches), termites (subterranean are most destructive), mosquitoes (spring-fall), scorpions (especially in West Texas), rodents, wasps, and bed bugs. Climate and geography affect which pests dominate in your area.

For general prevention, quarterly service is typical and costs $40-$70/month. Homes with active infestations may need monthly treatment initially. Annual termite inspections are recommended for all Texas homes. In heavily wooded or rural areas, more frequent service prevents wildlife intrusions.
