Fire ants, carpenter ants, and nuisance species. Look for trails, mounds, or sawdust-like frass near wood.

German roaches in kitchens and bathrooms. American roaches in sewers and basements. Oriental roaches in damp areas.

Nocturnal rodents that enter through roof lines, vents, and gaps. Signs include gnaw marks, droppings, and scratching sounds.

Smaller than rats, mice can squeeze through dime-sized openings. Look for droppings, gnawed food packaging, and nesting material.

Peak activity at dawn and dusk. Breeding in standing water. Bites are itchy and can transmit disease.

Small, flat, reddish-brown insects that hide in mattress seams, box springs, and furniture cracks. Bites often appear in lines or clusters.

Paper wasps build open-comb nests under eaves. Aggressive when disturbed. Yellow jackets nest in ground cavities or wall voids.

Nocturnal arachnids that glow under UV light. Hide in dark, moist areas. Sting is painful but rarely life-threatening to healthy adults.

Common DFW species include wolf spiders, cellar spiders, and black widows. Most are beneficial predators; we target only problematic species.

Small, jumping parasites that feed on pets and humans. Eggs fall off the host and hatch in carpets, bedding, and yard debris.

Found in tall grass and wooded areas. Attach to hosts and can transmit disease. Check pets and family members after outdoor activity.

Subterranean termites are the most destructive species in Texas. Look for mud tubes, swarmers, and damaged wood that sounds hollow.

Slender, silver insects that feed on starches and paper. Found in bathrooms, basements, and attics with high humidity.

House flies, fruit flies, and drain flies. Breed in decaying organic matter, garbage, and drains. Sanitation is key to control.

Field crickets and camel crickets enter homes in fall. Noisy and can damage fabrics. Attracted to moisture and light.

Squirrels, raccoons, and opossums can enter attics and crawlspaces. We provide humane exclusion and deterrent services.

Pigeons, sparrows, and starlings can nest in eaves, vents, and signage. We install exclusion devices and clean nesting debris.

Beyond termites, carpenter ants and wood-boring beetles can damage structural wood. Inspection identifies the specific pest.
