Home Pest Control in North Texas
Our home is meant to be our haven. It’s the place we go to enjoy our families and friends. It’s where we let our hair down and make ourselves comfortable. Unfortunately, insects and other creatures love our “cool in the summer” and “warm in the winter” abodes.
Few things strike more fear in human beings than six or eight-legged creepy-crawly’s (along with a few four-legged critters as well). My Grandpa loved to tell the story about my Mom being afraid of bugs and chasing a large spider around the house with a can of hairspray. He would say, “That spider had the best hairdo in town.” That is humorous, but pests can also threaten our quality of life. Many spread bacteria and diseases, ruin food or clothing, and cause significant damage to the structure of our houses.
That’s where we come in. Common Ground Pest Control’s Triple Threat treatments offer eco-friendly pest control solutions specifically designed to treat and prevent pests that are common in North Texas by creating three separate barriers within your property. We are licensed for every service we perform, and you can find our various packages below!
Triple Threat Perimeter Pest Control
Remember Star Trek? Whenever the Enterprise was threatened, the captain would say, “Raise the shields.” Afterward, there was an invisible protection that covered the outside of the ship. It is the same with Common Ground Pest Control’s Triple Threat Perimeter Pest Control service. Our Triple Threat treatments form a barrier around your property line, house, and any potential problem areas to combat creep-crawly pests such as ants, spiders, roaches, earwigs, silverfish, and more.
Our trained technicians come every other month to apply premium pesticides, dust weep holes, treat visible ant mounds, and remove wasp nests, as well as mud daubers and spider webs. In addition, if you see rats or mice, we will strategically place snap traps in places the rodents frequent. This allows you to have peace of mind throughout the entire year as you enjoy your property.
If you notice significant “bug” activity inside your home between applications, we will re-treat your property at no additional cost. Upon request, we can apply our environmentally safe pesticide products to your home’s interior as an added layer of protection.
Rodent Control
While I doubt the television depictions of elephants being terrified of mice and rats, I am scared of them. Rodents break into our food, chew wires in our homes and vehicles, and bring with them diseases such as the Hantavirus. They can be found anywhere in our living quarters or workspaces. I once found the telltale sign of their presence (fecal droppings) in a drawer where I had left some food.
Never fear. Common Ground Pest Control offers a multiprong approach for already existing infestations. Depending on your situation, we can employ rodenticides, strategically located snap-traps, and bait stations.
Carpenter Ant Control
Have you ever seen a large ant with a red body and what looked like a black tail? Chances are it was a carpenter ant. There are fourteen species of carpenter ants in Texas. Most live in wooded areas where they colonize in rotted stumps or parts of dead trees. However, it is not unusual to find them living within the wood that makes up our homes.
Unlike termites, who have an affinity for eating fine wood, carpenter ants tunnel into the wood to create their nests. Wood siding, window sills, and support beams are prime suspects. However, these creatures prefer wood that has been softened by water damage.
Remember the old Saturday cartoons where the ants would come and carry off the picnic food, especially the cake that was 100 times their size? Such are the eating habits of the carpenter ant. They like sweets such as fruits but will definitely settle for other types of food like meat or bugs.
If you notice carpenter ants, Common Ground Pest Control’s technicians will inspect your home for moist or decaying wood. In addition, we will treat existing colonies with premium pesticides to protect the lumber that is the heart of your house.
German Cockroach Control
Occasionally, one will see a large roach in a bathroom. That is an American Cockroach, sometimes referred to as a waterbug. They are huge and scary-looking. Common Ground Pest Control can take care of these critters, but they are not what we are talking about when it comes to roach infestations.
Actually, we are referring to German Cockroaches. These creatures are smaller in size, live indoors near food and water (think about the inside of the walls in your kitchen), and reproduce to the tune of 3-6 generations per year. It only takes 50-60 days for these critters to reach adulthood. A German cockroach infestation can cause illnesses such as food poisoning, asthma, and allergic reactions.
Our technicians at Common Ground Pest Control will thoroughly inspect your home or business in order to identify the spaces where German cockroaches are hiding in your structure. Once located, the size of the infestation will determine the treatment plan. Smaller numbers can usually be treated by insecticide bait. Larger infestations may need serious attention, and the employment of a flush-out treatment followed up with bait.
