Professional Pest Control in The Woodlands

The Woodlands is one of the largest master-planned communities in the country. Tree-lined streets, parks, walking trails, golf courses. Mix of residential neighborhoods, town centers, and commercial districts. Beautiful area to live and work.

But all those trees and green spaces mean pest pressure. Fire ants in landscaping and common areas. Mosquitoes breeding in wooded sections. Termites working on homes in humid conditions. Roaches, spiders, rodents – they thrive here just like everywhere else.

We’ve been providing pest control in The Woodlands since 2006. We know what this community needs.

Pest Issues in The Woodlands

Fire Ants Throughout the Community

The Woodlands has extensive landscaping, parks, and green spaces – all perfect for fire ants. They build aggressive colonies in yards, common areas, playgrounds, golf courses. Stings are painful and dangerous.

Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment covering up to 20,000 sq ft. Quarterly applications keep populations suppressed year-round so your property and common areas stay safe.

Mosquitoes Breeding in Wooded Areas

With all the trees and preserved forest throughout The Woodlands, mosquito pressure is higher than typical suburban areas. They breed in natural low spots, storm drains, and anywhere water collects. Makes outdoor living miserable without treatment.

Our monthly Mosquito Duo Defense uses barrier treatments and In2Care breeding site control. Reduces populations significantly so you can enjoy your deck, patio, and yard comfortably.

Termites Threatening Homes

The Woodlands has homes built over four decades. Termites love the area’s humidity, mature trees, and wood-to-soil contact points around homes. They work silently until damage becomes expensive.

We inspect for termite activity and damage, treat active infestations with Termidor liquid applications, and install Sentricon monitoring systems for continuous long-term protection.

Rodents Finding Ways Inside

Mice and rats get into attics, walls, and garages throughout The Woodlands. They chew wiring (serious fire risk), contaminate insulation, and multiply fast if not addressed quickly.

We trap inside structures, place exterior bait stations strategically, and seal entry points to keep new rodents out.

What Woodlands Properties Need

Established Village Homes

Older sections of The Woodlands need regular pest control plus monitoring for termites, carpenter ants, and moisture issues that attract pests over time.

Premium or Elite Plan recommended for established Woodlands properties. More comprehensive coverage and better protection against wood-destroying pests.

Newer Village Construction

Most newer Woodlands homes do well with Essential or Premium Plan. Quarterly treatments control ants, roaches, spiders, and everyday pests. Premium adds rodent control and fire ant treatment.

Properties Backing to Woods

If your property backs to forest or greenbelt areas, pest pressure increases significantly. More spiders. More mosquitoes. More rodents and wildlife finding entry points.

Premium or Elite recommended for wooded Woodlands properties. Bundle mosquito service if you want to use your outdoor space during warm months.

Townhomes and Condos

Attached housing needs pest control just like single-family homes. We work with HOAs and individual owners for ongoing maintenance and quick response to pest issues.

Commercial Properties

We service offices, retail stores, restaurants, medical facilities, warehouses. Monthly or quarterly service based on business type and regulatory requirements.

Common Pest Problems in The Woodlands

Spiders in and Around Homes

Black widows hiding in garages and storage areas. Brown recluse in closets and attics. Wolf spiders running across floors. Orb weavers building massive webs across walkways and between trees.

We treat where spiders actually hide and breed – vegetation around foundations, under decks, in harborage areas, around entry points. Not just spray baseboards and call it done.

Ants Following Food and Moisture

Argentine ants, rover ants, odorous house ants – they follow trails straight into homes. Once they establish routes to kitchens or bathrooms, they keep coming unless you treat the colony at its source.

We locate nesting sites, treat colonies directly when possible, and create barriers around foundations to prevent new colonies from moving in.

Wasps Nesting Everywhere

Paper wasps, red wasps, mud daubers – they build nests under eaves, in attics, on outdoor furniture, around light fixtures. Aggressive when disturbed, especially around children and pets.

We remove nests during regular service. Essential Plan covers up to 15 feet, Premium and Elite Plans up to 30 feet for higher locations.

Carpenter Ants in Wooded Areas

Large black ants tunneling through wood. Common in Woodlands properties near forest or with moisture problems, damaged wood, or wood-to-soil contact.

Carpenter ant treatment included in Elite Plan. Additional service for Essential or Premium customers who need it.

Fleas and Ticks Around Properties

Common around Woodlands properties with pets or backing to wooded areas. We treat yards and outdoor spaces to knock down populations. Combined with vet-approved pet treatments, keeps them controlled.

German Roaches in Some Properties

Small roaches that breed incredibly fast and infest homes. Require specialized clean-out treatment – multiple visits, intensive homeowner prep, strategic product applications.

Not covered in regular plans because treatment approach is completely different. We quote German roach clean-outs separately based on infestation severity.
