Protecting Westwood Shores Lake Properties

Westwood Shores is all about lake life. Quiet neighborhoods. Water access. Great place to retire or have a weekend getaway.

The pests didn’t get that memo though. Mosquitoes swarm near the water. Fire ants take over yards. Spiders build webs across every walkway. And if you’ve got a pier house or you’re close to the woods, rodents and wildlife are constant issues.

We’ve been handling pest control around Lake Livingston since 2006. We know what lake properties need.

The Pest Pressure in Westwood Shores

Mosquitoes From April to October

Living near Lake Livingston means dealing with mosquitoes. They breed in standing water, rest in vegetation around your property, and make it impossible to enjoy your deck or yard.

Our monthly mosquito program uses barrier treatments and In2Care breeding site eliminators. Reduces populations significantly so you can actually use your outdoor space.

Fire Ants in Sandy Soil

Westwood Shores has sandy soil – perfect for fire ants. They build mounds across yards, near docks, around driveways. Painful stings. Aggressive behavior. They spread fast.

Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft. Quarterly applications keep them knocked down.

Spiders Everywhere

Orb weavers spanning walkways with massive webs. Wolf spiders on decks at night. Black widows under storage areas and boats.

Lake properties attract spiders because there’s abundant insect activity. We treat vegetation, under structures, and around foundations where spiders actually live.

Termites Threatening Structures

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

We inspect, treat active infestations with Termidor, and install Sentricon systems for continuous monitoring and protection.

Rodents in Storage Areas

Mice and rats love lake properties. Plenty of food, water, and places to hide. They nest in storage rooms, chew through boxes, contaminate everything.

We trap inside structures, place bait stations outside, and seal entry points where possible.

What Westwood Shores Properties Need

Year-Round Lake Homes

Essential or Premium Plan works for most full-time residents. Quarterly treatments handle ants, roaches, spiders, and everyday pests. Premium adds rodent control and fire ant treatment.

Add mosquito service during warm months. Most year-round residents do this – makes a huge difference in quality of life.

Weekend and Vacation Homes

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

Quarterly service keeps things under control between visits. We can time treatments around when you’re using the property.

Pier Houses and Waterfront Properties

Higher pest pressure near the water. Mosquitoes are relentless. Spiders love the environment. Moisture attracts carpenter ants and termites.

Premium or Elite Plan makes sense. More comprehensive coverage for the unique challenges of waterfront living.

Older Lake Homes

Westwood Shores has properties from different eras. Older homes often have gaps, moisture issues, and wood damage that pests exploit.

We treat for pests and identify problem areas. Heavy exclusion or repair work gets quoted separately.

Service Plans for Westwood Shores

Essential Plan

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

Common Pest Issues Around Westwood Shores

Wasps on Decks and Structures

Paper wasps, red wasps, mud daubers – they build nests under eaves, on porch furniture, around docks. Aggressive when disturbed.

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

Ants Trailing Into Homes

Argentine ants, rover ants, odorous house ants – they follow moisture and food sources into kitchens and bathrooms.

We locate the colony, treat it directly when possible, and create barriers. Not just killing the trail you’re seeing.

Carpenter Ants Near Water

Big black ants that tunnel through wood. Common around lake properties with moisture problems, leaky pipes, or wood touching soil.

Carpenter ant treatment is included in Elite Plan. Additional service for Essential or Premium customers.

Wildlife Getting Into Attics

Raccoons, squirrels, possums – they find gaps in older homes and move right in. Tear up insulation, chew wires, leave a mess.

We trap, remove, seal entry points, and handle clean-up if needed.
