Houston’s environment is home to some of the most resilient pests in the country. Our team is equipped to handle:

How Houston’s Climate Impacts Pest Activity
- The Heat: High temperatures speed up insect metabolism, leading to rapid population explosions in the summer.

- Flood Season: Heavy Texas rains and flooding flush ants and rodents out of their natural burrows, forcing them directly into your dry, elevated home.

How much does pest control cost in Houston?
The average cost for a professional pest control visit in Houston typically ranges from $85 to $191, depending on the size of the home and the type of pest. One-time specialty treatments (like bed bugs or termites) can vary based on the severity of the infestation.
Is professional pest control better than DIY?
Yes. While store-bought sprays provide a “quick kill,” they rarely reach the nest. Professionals use commercial-grade baits and exclusion techniques (sealing holes) that DIY methods simply can’t match, especially for stubborn Houston pests.
What pests are most common in Houston homes?
Cockroaches and ants are the most frequent year-round residents. However, termites and mosquitoes are the most destructive and health-hazardous pests local homeowners face.
How does humidity affect pest infestations?
Many pests, such as silverfish and certain roaches, breathe through their skin and require high humidity to survive. Houston’s damp air allows these populations to thrive indoors in areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and crawlspaces.
Are preventative pest control plans worth it?
Absolutely. A quarterly plan costs significantly less than a single emergency termite repair or a massive bed bug remediation. It’s an investment in your property’s structural integrity.
Why is pest control important after flooding?
Flooding displaces ground-dwelling pests like fire ants and rats. After a storm, these pests seek higher ground which is usually your attic or walls. Post-flood inspections are vital to stop “hitchhiking” pests from settling in.
