Typical job

What homeowners notice: After a few days of heavy spring rain, homeowners in Stagecoach often find fresh fire ant mounds along fence lines, sidewalks and the edge of the slab. Kids or pets sometimes get stung before anyone spots them.
What we do: The technician walks the lot, broadcasts fire ant bait across the whole yard and treats active mounds near doors, play areas and the foundation, following Texas A&M AgriLife's Two-Step Method and the product labels.
What to expect: Mound activity typically fades over the following weeks as the bait reaches the queens, and the written report notes pet precautions and when to call if new mounds appear.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: On a warm spring day, homeowners notice winged insects at a window or in a bathroom and a scatter of shed wings on the sill. The swarmers often come up near a plumbing penetration, bath trap or crack in the slab.
What we do: The technician confirms the insects are subterranean termites, inspects baseboards, door frames, the garage and the exterior slab edge for mud tubes and damage, then explains liquid treatment and bait system options with upfront prices.
What to expect: The homeowner chooses a treatment with a clear price in hand and a written report showing exactly where activity was found.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A few nights after the first cold front of fall, the family hears scratching and running in the ceiling. They then find droppings near the attic access or chewed insulation along the eaves.
What we do: The technician inspects the roofline, soffits, vents and AC line penetrations, sets traps along rat runways in the attic and seals entry gaps with chew-resistant materials like hardware cloth and sheet metal.
What to expect: Attic noise usually stops within a few weeks as rats are trapped out and sealed openings keep new ones from getting in, with each trap check recorded on a written report.

2–3 hours typical visit

Typical job

What homeowners notice: Families whose yards back onto Spring Creek or a drainage channel often can't use the patio at dusk from late spring through fall. It gets worse in the weeks after heavy rain leaves standing water behind.
What we do: The technician dumps standing water from saucers, toys and low spots, treats water that can't be drained according to the label, and applies a barrier treatment to shady shrubs, fence lines and under decks where mosquitoes rest.
What to expect: Monthly visits in season typically cut biting pressure enough to use the yard again, though no creek-side lot becomes completely mosquito-free.

40 minutes typical visit

Typical job

What homeowners notice: Homeowners on wooded lots in Pinehurst find striped bark scorpions in the garage, laundry room or a bathtub, usually in the warm months. A firewood stack or leaf-filled beds near the house are common sources.
What we do: The technician inspects the garage, door sweeps, weep holes, wood piles and the attic, applies a labeled treatment to the garage perimeter, eaves and outdoor hiding spots, and shows where gaps need sealing.
What to expect: Indoor sightings usually drop, especially once firewood is moved away from the house and door gaps are sealed, and the written report lists every treated area.

1 hour typical visit

Typical job

What homeowners notice: Kitchen staff start seeing small, light-brown roaches near the dish machine, under prep tables and around the ice machine. Seeing them in daylight usually means the population is growing.
What we do: The technician inspects motor housings, wall voids, drains and gaps behind equipment, places gel bait and an insect growth regulator in cracks and crevices, sets monitoring traps and lists sanitation and sealing fixes for the manager.
What to expect: Activity typically drops across two or three visits, and each written service report gives the restaurant a record of findings and treatments to keep on file for health inspections.
