Our Pest Control and Extermination Services in Krum

Ant control, ant extermination, and carpenter ant removal

Ants are a persistent issue in Krum, especially given the open land surrounding many neighborhoods. Fire ants can quickly take over a yard, making it unsafe for children and pets, while odorous house ants often invade kitchens after heavy rain. Carpenter ants are a specific concern for older wood structures where moisture may have accumulated. Effective ant control requires identifying the species correctly, as using the wrong store bought spray can sometimes cause a colony to fracture and spread to new areas of the home.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Visible trails of ants on sidewalks or climbing foundation walls
• Large winged ants appearing inside near windows
• Mounds of fine dirt appearing in flower beds or lawns
• Painful bites or stings from ants in the yard
• Piles of wood shavings or frass in attics
• Ants recurring quickly after spot treatments
• Small ants swarming around pet food bowls

How we approach treatment:

We begin with pest tracking to locate the nesting site, which is often hidden outdoors or deep within a wall void. Our approach utilizes integrated pest management, employing baiting systems that workers carry back to the queen. This ensures complete ant extermination rather than just killing the foragers you see. We also assist with exclusion techniques for pests, helping you identify and seal gaps around utility lines where ants often enter.

Bed bug eradication and treatment planning

Bed bugs are stressful and invasive, easily hitching rides into homes on luggage or furniture. Once inside, they hide in mattress seams, headboards, and behind baseboards, coming out at night to feed. Bed bug eradication is not a task for do it yourself methods, as these pests are resilient and can survive for months without feeding. Missing even a few eggs can lead to a rapid resurgence of the population.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Waking up with itchy red bites in rows or clusters
• Dark spots or blood stains on sheets and pillowcases
• Discarded skins or egg shells in bedding folds
• A sweet or musty odor in the bedroom
• Live bugs visible in the seams of furniture
• Anxiety and sleeplessness due to suspected activity

How we approach treatment:

We perform a detailed inspection to assess the extent of the infestation. Our treatment planning targets bed bugs at every life stage. We use professional grade applications to treat hiding spots that standard cleaning cannot reach. We also provide clear guidance on how to prepare your home for treatment, ensuring that we can access all necessary areas to restore comfort to your sleeping quarters.

Roach extermination and roach infestation control

Cockroaches are a common sanitation and health concern in our region. They are drawn to moisture and food residue, often thriving in kitchens and bathrooms. German cockroaches are particularly troublesome in indoor environments, reproducing quickly and hiding inside appliances. Roach extermination is essential to stop the spread of bacteria and allergens that can affect indoor air quality.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Scattering insects when lights are turned on
• Pepper like droppings found in drawers or cabinets
• Egg casings found behind refrigerators or stoves
• Unpleasant oily or musky smells in the kitchen
• Chew marks on food packaging or paper goods
• Roaches appearing in sinks or drains

How we approach treatment:

We do not just spray surfaces; we target the nesting sites. Our roach infestation control strategy involves using insect growth regulators to halt reproduction and baits that are highly attractive to adults. We focus on cracks and crevices where roaches congregate. We also offer sanitation guidance to help you remove the food and water sources that attract them, ensuring long term success.

Spider removal and indoor pest control support

Spiders often move indoors during the hot Texas summers or when temperatures drop, seeking climate controlled shelter. While most are harmless, species like the Brown Recluse and Black Widow are present in our area and require caution. Spider removal focuses on reducing the population and clearing away unsightly webs. Often, a spider problem indicates the presence of other insects that serve as their food source.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Cobwebs in corners, garages, or near high ceilings
• Spiders found in shoes, closets, or storage boxes
• Egg sacs visible in undisturbed areas like basements
• Sightings of large wolf spiders on floors
• Concerns about venomous spiders in the home
• Recurring webs on exterior light fixtures

How we approach treatment:

Our team assists with indoor pest control by removing accessible webs and treating hiding spots. We inspect the perimeter to create a barrier that discourages spiders from entering. A key part of our strategy is general insect control to remove their food supply, naturally forcing spiders to look elsewhere. We also provide advice on reducing clutter to eliminate harboring areas.

Flea treatment and tick removal for safer living spaces

Fleas and ticks are a concern for families with pets, but they can also affect homes without animals if local wildlife brings them into the yard. Flea eggs can remain dormant in carpets for long periods before hatching, leading to sudden outbreaks. Tick removal is important for health safety, as ticks can transmit diseases. Managing these pests requires treating both the source and the environment.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Pets scratching or biting at their fur frequently
• Small black specks known as flea dirt in pet bedding
• Tiny insects jumping on furniture or ankles
• Ticks found on clothing after gardening
• Red itchy bites on humans, often around the legs
• Noticing pests in the yard during warm months

How we approach treatment:

Effective flea treatment involves breaking the life cycle to prevent eggs and larvae from developing. We focus on treating areas where pets rest and high traffic zones. For ticks, we address outdoor harboring areas such as tall grass or brush. We work with you to ensure your home is prepared for treatment, which helps maximize the effectiveness of our applications.

Termite inspection, termite treatment, and long term protection

Termites are a silent threat to property value in Krum. The shifting clay soil can compromise physical barriers, allowing subterranean termites to reach the wood in your home. They feed on cellulose and can cause significant structural damage before they are detected. Regular termite inspection is the only way to catch activity early and prevent costly repairs.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Mud tubes rising up the exterior foundation
• Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
• Discarded wings found on window sills
• Bubbling paint or drywall resembling water damage
• Doors or windows becoming hard to close
• Frass or wood pellets found near wooden beams

How we approach treatment:

We offer comprehensive termite treatment options tailored to your home’s specific construction. This may include liquid soil treatments to create a protective zone or baiting systems that intercept foraging termites. Our goal is colony elimination. We also emphasize long term protection through periodic checks to ensure the barrier remains intact.

Rodent removal, mice extermination, and rat control

As fields are harvested or temperatures drop, mice and rats often seek shelter in homes, barns, and garages. Rodents can chew through electrical wiring and contaminate insulation. Rodent removal must be handled promptly because a small problem can quickly become a large infestation. Effective control focuses on stopping the entry.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Scratching or scampering sounds in walls or attics
• Droppings found in cupboards or garages
• Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, or wires
• Nests made of shredded material in hidden spots
• Rub marks or grease stains along baseboards
• Ammonia like odors in enclosed spaces

How we approach treatment:

Our approach includes trapping and removal to reduce the immediate population. Simultaneously, we perform a rigorous inspection to find entry points, such as weep holes or gaps in roof returns. We employ rodent barrier installation techniques to seal these gaps. Whether it is mice extermination or rat control, we also provide sanitation guidance to remove attractants.
