Protecting Lovelady Homes and Properties

Lovelady might be small, but the pest problems aren’t.

Fire ants in the yard. Mosquitoes near the creek and Trinity River areas. Termites finding their way into homes. Rodents in barns and storage buildings.

And if you’ve got woods around your property, you’re dealing with wildlife too – raccoons, squirrels, and everything else that thinks your attic looks like a nice place to nest.

We’ve been handling pest control in Lovelady since 2006. Same straightforward approach we bring to every property in Houston County.

Pest Issues Common to Lovelady

Fire Ants Taking Over Yards

They’re bad around Lovelady. Sandy soil, warm weather, plenty of moisture – fire ants love it here.

One mound turns into twenty if you don’t stay on top of it. And nobody wants their kids or pets getting stung while playing outside.

Our Premium and Elite plans include broadcast fire ant treatment across your lawn. Keeps populations knocked down year-round.

Mosquitoes Near Water

If you’re anywhere near the creek, Trinity River, or low-lying areas, mosquitoes are brutal from spring through fall.

Our Mosquito Duo Defense program uses monthly treatments and In2Care breeding site control. Makes your yard usable again instead of running inside every time you step out.

Termites in Homes and Outbuildings

Lovelady’s got humidity, moisture, and plenty of wood structures. Termites don’t need much more invitation than that.

We do full inspections, liquid treatments with Termidor, and Sentricon monitoring systems for long-term protection.

Rodents in Rural Properties

Mice and rats are common in barns, sheds, workshops, and storage buildings. They chew through wiring, contaminate stored items, and breed fast.

We trap, bait around the exterior, and seal entry points. Can’t just keep trapping forever – you have to stop them from getting in.

How We Handle Lovelady Properties

Small Town Homes

Usually do well with quarterly service. Essential or Premium Plan covers the basics – ants, roaches, spiders, wasps. Add rodent stations and fire ant treatment with Premium.

Properties with Acreage

More land means more pest pressure. Wildlife near wooded areas. Fire ants across multiple acres. Outbuildings that attract rodents and spiders.

Premium or Elite Plan makes more sense. More comprehensive coverage and protection.

Older Homes

Lovelady’s got its share of older properties. Great character. But also gaps, cracks, and wood damage that pests exploit.

We treat for pests and point out entry points. For heavy exclusion work (sealing up everything permanently), that’s a separate project we can quote.

Our Service Plans

Essential Plan

Quarterly treatments for ants, roaches, spiders, and everyday pests. Interior and exterior work. Web and wasp nest removal up to 15 feet. Re-service guarantee if covered pests come back between visits.

Premium Plan

Everything in Essential plus exterior rodent bait stations, fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft, and wasp removal up to 30 feet. Better for properties with consistent pest pressure.

Elite Plan

Complete coverage. Everything above plus Sentricon termite monitoring and carpenter ant treatment. This is for folks who want full protection and don’t want to worry about pests.

Bundle mosquito or lawn service with any plan and save 10%.

Specific Pest Problems Around Lovelady

Spiders in and Around Homes

Wolf spiders, orb weavers, black widows, brown recluse – all common around Lovelady. They love storage areas, woodpiles, and undisturbed spaces.

We treat the areas where they’re actually living, not just spray and hope. Knock down webs, treat harborage areas, create barriers.

Ants Invading Kitchens

Rover ants, Argentine ants, odorous house ants – they follow moisture and food sources. Once they find your kitchen, they keep coming back unless you treat the colony.

We track where they’re coming from, treat the source, and create barriers. Not just killing the ones you see.

Wildlife in Attics and Crawlspaces

Raccoons, squirrels, possums – they get into attics through damaged vents or gaps in the roofline. Once inside, they tear up insulation and create a mess.

We trap and remove them, then seal entry points so they can’t come back. Some properties need clean-up and sanitation after wildlife removal – we handle that too.

Wasps Building Nests Everywhere

Under eaves, on equipment, in barns – wasps love Lovelady. They’re aggressive when disturbed and build nests fast.

We remove nests up to 15 feet on Essential Plan, up to 30 feet on Premium and Elite. Part of every quarterly visit.
