Trusted by Families and Businesses for Pest and Termite Control in Fredericksburg, Texas

We've been in business since 1979 and have the knowledge and experience to help you solve your pest control problem.

Do Pests Keep Coming Back?

You may have already tried something, such as a store-bought spray or a one-time treatment from another company. It seemed to work for a week or two. Then the pests came back.

That happens because the treatment only reached the pests you could see, not where they were coming from. Whether they're coming in from a nest in a wall or a colony out in the yard, there will be more until the source is treated.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to call us at (830) 997-5080.

Do you offer one-time service, or does everything require a contract?

Both. Our One-Time Pest Control service is a single visit for an immediate or occasional problem. If you'd rather the problem didn't come back, we recommend a scheduled plan. Our plans run annually, quarterly, bi-monthly or semi-annually. The frequency is up to you.

What is the difference between your Ongoing, One-Time, Expanded Outside and Executive plans?

Ongoing is scheduled treatment on the frequency you choose. One-Time is a single targeted visit. Expanded Outside adds a 10 to 15 foot barrier treatment around the house and treatment around every door and window. If an interior issue arises, we treat it at no additional charge. Executive treats the house and the entire lawn. It's the plan for heavier pest pressure, such as ant infestations and chinch bugs.

Why do I still see bugs right after a treatment?

It's normal to see more activity for a few days after a treatment, because the treatment disturbs the nest and pushes the insects out of hiding. Activity should drop off over the next week or two. If it hasn't settled by then, please call us and we'll come back out.

Do you handle scorpions, and is that included in a residential plan?

Yes, scorpions are one of the pests covered on a residential plan. Scorpions come in from outside when the weather turns hot and dry. We treat the house inside and out. On a scheduled plan, the outside of the house is treated on every visit.

Do you treat fire ant mounds in pastures and large yards?

Yes. Our Executive Service treats the house and the entire lawn. It's especially effective against ant infestations. For acreage, please tell us roughly how much ground you need covered when you call. We'll give you our recommendation and a quote before any work begins.

Do you bait for rodents on an ongoing plan, or is it a one-time visit?

We bait for rats and mice on an ongoing plan, not as a single visit. Rats and mice keep coming back to a food source, so the bait stations are checked on a schedule to keep them under control.

Do I need a termite inspection to close on a house in Gillespie County?

A wood-destroying insect report is commonly asked for by a lender or a buyer before closing. Call us with the property address and your closing date and we'll get it scheduled.

What does termite treatment involve, and is it guaranteed?

Two kinds of termites turn up around Fredericksburg. Drywood termites live in the wood itself. Subterranean termites come up from the soil. Each needs a different treatment, so we inspect first to find out which one you have. We treat the colony with Termidor. Every Termidor treatment comes with a five-year guarantee. For new construction, we use Bora-Care by Nisus. It's applied to the wood and the foundation instead of into the soil.

Do you service short-term rentals in Fredericksburg, and can you work around guest turnover?

Yes. We service hotels, B&Bs and short-term rentals across Fredericksburg. The visits are scheduled around your bookings. Please tell us your turnover pattern when you call, and we'll fit the visits around it.

What pests should I expect in each season in Gillespie County?

Ants and termites are most active through the warmer months. Scorpions come indoors when the weather turns hot and dry. Rodents move inside as it cools off in the fall. Fleas follow your pets rather than the season. On a scheduled plan, the house is treated through the year, so you're not calling about a new pest each season. Termite control and rodent control are separate services.
