Common questions
Is pest control licensed in Texas?
Yes. Structural pest control for hire requires a Texas Department of Agriculture license. Ask for the business license and the applicator credentials before treatment starts.
Do I need recurring service or one visit?
One visit can knock down a simple issue. Recurring service is better when bugs keep coming in from the yard, nearby water, restaurant areas, or shared walls. Corpus humidity keeps pest pressure steady most of the year.
Will I need to leave the house?
Usually not for standard crack-and-crevice and perimeter service, but it depends on the product label and target pest. The technician tells you re-entry instructions before applying anything.
Can you handle rodents in the attic?
Yes. The technician looks for entry points, sets traps or stations, and explains exclusion work. Trapping without sealing the openings usually means the problem comes back.
What about pets and kids?
Tell the technician up front. They choose labeled products and placement with that in mind, then give you drying or re-entry instructions. Baits and stations should stay out of reach.
Do you treat mosquitoes?
Yes, but mosquito work is part treatment and part water control. Gutters, plant saucers, buckets, and low spots matter. After spring rain, those little water pockets make a big difference.
Is this the same as termite service?
No. Termite treatment is a separate category and needs the right endorsement and inspection approach. If mud tubes or wood damage show up, route the call to termite service.

Spring (March - May)
Rain and warmer nights bring ants, mosquitoes, roaches, and termite swarm calls.
Summer (June - August)
Roach and ant pressure stays high with Gulf humidity. Vacation rentals need tighter service between stays.

Rodents start looking for cover as nights cool and storm debris piles up.
Winter (December - February)
Interior pest sightings slow down, but exclusion and recurring perimeter service still matter.
