Protecting Tyler Homes and Commercial Spaces Since 2006

Tyler, TX — the Rose Capital of the World and Smith County’s largest city — sits in the heart of East Texas’s highest-risk termite zone. The combination of deep East Texas clay and sandy loam soils, a warm humid climate, and abundant pine and hardwood timber makes Tyler one of the most termite-active markets in the state. Orkin and Terminix dominate advertising in Tyler, but Critter Gitters brings something those national chains can’t match: an ACE-certified entomologist who personally inspects your property.

Critter Gitters is a Certified Sentricon Always Active Specialist — one of the most recognized termite certifications in the industry — and holds an ACE (Associate Certified Entomologist) credential held by fewer than 1% of pest control professionals nationwide. From Tyler’s historic Azalea District to new construction in South Tyler, we deliver precision pest control for Smith County homeowners and businesses.

Pest Pressure Around Tyler

Fire Ants in Yards and Parks

Tyler’s warm climate and long growing season create ideal conditions for fire ants. These aggressive pests build mounds throughout lawns, playgrounds, parks, and landscaped areas. Their painful stings can make outdoor spaces uncomfortable and unsafe for families and pets.

Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment for properties up to 20,000 sq ft. Quarterly applications help keep fire ant populations under control year-round.

Mosquitoes During Warm Months

With Tyler’s abundant trees, landscaping, ponds, creeks, and frequent rainfall, mosquitoes can become a major problem from spring through fall. Standing water and shaded areas create perfect breeding conditions.

Our Mosquito Duo Defense program combines monthly barrier treatments with In2Care breeding site eliminators to dramatically reduce mosquito populations so you can enjoy your outdoor spaces again.

Termites Throughout East Texas

Termites are a serious concern for homeowners throughout Tyler. The area’s humidity, frequent rainfall, and wood-frame construction create favorable conditions for termite activity. Both older homes and newer construction can be vulnerable.

We perform thorough termite inspections, treat active infestations with Termidor, and install Sentricon monitoring systems for long-term protection and peace of mind.

Rodents Finding Their Way Inside

Mice and rats often seek shelter in attics, garages, and wall voids, especially during seasonal weather changes. Once inside, they can damage wiring, contaminate insulation, and quickly multiply.

We use a comprehensive approach that includes interior trapping, exterior bait stations, and exclusion services to help prevent future infestations.

FAQ’s

Common Questions from Our Customers

What pests are most common in Tyler, TX?
Tyler homeowners most frequently encounter subterranean and Formosan termites (East Texas clay soils are ideal termite habitat), fire ants in lawns and clay yards, German cockroaches in residential and commercial kitchens, mosquitoes near Lake Tyler and Faulkner Park area drainage, and roof rats in older Tyler neighborhoods near the UT Tyler campus.
National pest control chains in Tyler rotate technicians, price to national averages rather than East Texas conditions, and treat every home on the same schedule regardless of what’s actually active. Critter Gitters brings an ACE-certified entomologist who inspects your property personally, recommends treatments based on what’s actually present, and provides consistent service from a real East Texas pest professional.
Yes. We provide WDO/WDI termite inspection reports for Smith County real estate transactions and VA loan approvals. Our ACE-certified technician inspects the full structure. Visit our termite control page or call (936) 544-3800 to schedule.
Yes. East Texas clay soils retain moisture extremely well — and subterranean termites require moisture to survive and forage.
