Your Neighbors in Pest Control Since 2006

Trinity sits right on the lake. Beautiful area. Peaceful. Great for folks who want to be on the water without all the hustle.

But lakefront living comes with pest pressure. Mosquitoes are brutal near the water. Fire ants love the sandy soil. Termites thrive in the humidity. And if you’ve got a pier house or cabin, you’re probably dealing with spiders, wasps, and rodents too.

We’ve been handling pest control in Trinity and across Trinity County since 2006. We know lake properties. We know what works.

Pest Problems Common Around Trinity

Mosquitoes Near Lake Livingston

If you’re anywhere near the lake, mosquitoes are a constant problem from April through October. They breed in standing water, rest in vegetation, and make it miserable to enjoy your deck or yard.

Our Mosquito Duo Defense program uses monthly barrier treatments and In2Care breeding site control. Knocks populations way down so you can actually use your outdoor space.

Fire Ants in Yards and Around Structures

Sandy soil, warm weather, moisture from the lake – fire ants love Trinity. They build mounds in yards, around docks, near structures. Aggressive and painful when disturbed.

Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft. Keeps them suppressed year-round.

Spiders Around Lake Properties

Orb weavers building massive webs across walkways. Wolf spiders running across decks at night. Black widows hiding in storage areas and under docks.

We treat where spiders actually live – vegetation, under structures, around foundations. Not just spray and hope.

Termites Targeting Wood Structures

Humidity from the lake plus wood structures equals termite risk. Homes, cabins, pier houses, docks – all vulnerable.

We do inspections, liquid treatments with Termidor, and Sentricon monitoring systems for ongoing protection.

Rodents and Wildlife

Mice and rats love lake properties – plenty of food and shelter. Raccoons, possums, and squirrels get into attics and storage areas.

We trap, remove, and seal entry points. Can’t just keep trapping – you have to stop them from getting in.

What Trinity Properties Need

Lake Houses and Cabins

Most need at least Premium Plan. Mosquito pressure is high near the water. Fire ants are everywhere. Spiders and wasps love structures near the lake.

Bundle mosquito control with your pest plan and save 10%. Most lake property owners do this.

Year-Round Residences

Essential or Premium Plan works for most. Quarterly treatments for ants, roaches, spiders, and everyday pests. Premium adds rodent stations and fire ant treatment.

Vacation Properties

If you’re not there full-time, pests move in when you’re gone. Rodents nest in storage areas. Spiders take over. Wasps build nests.

Quarterly service keeps things under control even when you’re not around. We can coordinate timing with your visits.

Older Structures

Older lake homes and cabins have gaps, wood damage, and moisture issues. Pests exploit every entry point.

We treat for pests and point out problems. Heavy exclusion work gets quoted separately.

Specific Pest Issues We Handle Around Trinity

Wasps Building Nests Everywhere

Under eaves, on piers, in boat storage, around docks – wasps love lake properties. They’re aggressive when disturbed and build nests fast.

We remove nests as part of regular service. Essential covers up to 15 feet, Premium and Elite up to 30 feet.

Ants Following Moisture

Lake properties often have moisture issues. Leaky pipes, poor drainage, humid crawlspaces. Ants follow moisture right into your house.

We find the source, treat the colony, and create barriers. Not just killing the ones you see on the counter.

Carpenter Ants in Wood Structures

Big black ants tunneling through wood. Common around lake properties with moisture problems or wood-to-soil contact.

Carpenter ant treatment is included in the Elite Plan. For Essential or Premium customers, it’s an additional service.

Invasive Bees

Swarms sometimes establish hives in structures near the lake. Old sheds, storage areas, wall voids.

We remove bee colonies safely. If it’s an aggressive Africanized colony, we eliminate it and remove the hive material.
