Expert Pest Control for Lake Livingston Properties

Lake Livingston draws people for the water, the fishing, the peaceful environment. It’s a great place to live or have a weekend place.

But lakefront living comes with serious pest pressure. Mosquitoes breed near the water. Fire ants love the sandy soil. Termites thrive in the humidity. Spiders, wasps, rodents – they’re all drawn to lake properties.

We’ve been protecting Lake Livingston homes and cabins since 2006. We know what it takes.

Pest Challenges Around Lake Livingston

Mosquitoes Are Relentless Near Water

If you’re on or near Lake Livingston, mosquitoes make summers miserable. They breed in any standing water, rest in vegetation, and swarm at dusk.

You can’t enjoy your deck. Kids can’t play outside. Evening fishing trips turn into getting eaten alive.

Our Mosquito Duo Defense program uses monthly barrier treatments and In2Care breeding control. Makes a massive difference in how much you can actually use your property.

Fire Ants Taking Over Everything

Sandy lakefront soil is perfect for fire ants. They build mounds in yards, around docks, near walkways. Step on one and you’re in pain for days.

Our Premium and Elite plans include broadcast fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft. Keeps populations suppressed so your property is usable.

Spiders Thriving Near the Lake

Orb weavers build giant webs between trees and across walkways. Wolf spiders hunt at night on decks. Black widows hide under boats, in storage areas, around docks.

We treat where spiders actually live – not just spray baseboards. Vegetation, under structures, harborage areas. That’s where it matters.

Termites Attacking Wood Structures

Lakefront humidity creates perfect conditions for termites. Homes, cabins, docks, decks – all at risk.

We inspect for termites, treat active infestations with Termidor liquid treatment, and install Sentricon monitoring systems for long-term protection.

Rodents and Wildlife Problems

Mice and rats love lake properties – food, water, shelter. They nest in storage areas, chew wiring in boats and equipment, contaminate stored items.

Raccoons, squirrels, possums – they get into attics and crawlspaces. We trap, remove, and seal entry points.

Different Properties, Different Needs

Full-Time Lake Residents

Essential or Premium Plan works for most year-round homes. Quarterly treatments handle everyday pests. Premium adds rodent control and fire ant treatment.

Bundle mosquito service during warm months – most full-time residents do because mosquitoes are constant near the water.

Weekend and Vacation Properties

Pests move in when you’re not there. Spiders take over. Wasps build nests. Rodents find their way inside.

Quarterly service keeps things under control between your visits. We can coordinate timing with when you use the property.

Waterfront and Pier Houses

Highest pest pressure. Right on the water means maximum mosquito exposure. Moisture issues attract carpenter ants and termites. Spiders love the environment.

Premium or Elite Plan recommended. More comprehensive coverage for waterfront challenges.

Rental Properties

Guests don’t want to deal with pests. Bad reviews mention bugs and mosquitoes. Regular pest control protects your investment and reputation.

We work with rental property owners across Lake Livingston. Flexible scheduling around bookings.

Specific Pest Problems at the Lake

Wasps Building Nests Everywhere

Paper wasps, red wasps, mud daubers – they nest under eaves, on boats, around docks, on porch furniture. Aggressive and dangerous when disturbed.

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

Ants Invading Kitchens

Moisture from the lake environment attracts ants. They follow plumbing, trail along foundations, and set up colonies near your house.

We find and treat the colony – not just kill the ones marching across your counter.

Carpenter Ants in Damp Wood

Big black ants tunneling through wood. Common in lake properties with moisture problems, leaky pipes, or damaged wood.

Included in Elite Plan. Additional service for Essential or Premium customers.

Fleas and Ticks Near Wooded Areas

If your property has woods nearby, fleas and ticks are a problem. They ride in on wildlife and pets, then infest your yard.

We treat yards and outdoor areas. Combined with pet prevention from your vet, keeps them under control.
