Protecting Lake Conroe Properties

Lake Conroe brings people to Montgomery County. Waterfront homes, weekend retreats, year-round lakefront living. Beautiful area. Great for boating and fishing. Peaceful environment.

But lakefront living means higher pest pressure. Mosquitoes breeding near the water. Fire ants in sandy lakefront soil. Spiders everywhere. Termites threatening structures in humid conditions. Rodents and wildlife finding entry points.

We’ve been handling pest control around Lake Conroe since 2006. We know lakefront properties and what they need.

Pest Challenges at Lake Conroe

Mosquitoes Near the Water

If you’re on or near Lake Conroe, mosquitoes are relentless from April through October. They breed in standing water, storm drains, boat covers, and anywhere moisture collects. Makes outdoor time miserable without treatment.

Our Mosquito Duo Defense program uses monthly barrier treatments and In2Care breeding site control. Reduces populations significantly so you can enjoy your dock, deck, and yard without constant swatting.

Fire Ants in Lakefront Yards

Sandy soil around Lake Conroe is perfect for fire ants. They build mounds in yards, near docks, around boat storage, in landscaping. Painful stings. Aggressive behavior. Colonies spread fast.

Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft. Keeps populations suppressed year-round so your property stays safe for family, guests, and pets.

Spiders Around Waterfront Properties

Orb weavers spinning massive webs across walkways to your dock. Wolf spiders on decks after dark. Black widows hiding under boats and in storage areas.

Lakefront properties attract spiders because insect activity is high near the water. We treat vegetation, under structures, around foundations – where spiders actually live and breed.

Termites Threatening Lake Homes

Lake humidity plus wood structures equals serious termite risk. Homes, cabins, docks, boathouses – all vulnerable to termite damage over time if not protected.

We inspect for termites, treat active infestations with Termidor liquid applications, and install Sentricon monitoring systems for ongoing protection and early detection.

Rodents in Lake Properties

Mice and rats love lakefront properties. Food, water, and hiding spots everywhere. They nest in storage areas, boat storage, sheds, attics. Chew wiring, contaminate stored items, breed rapidly.

We trap inside structures, place bait stations outside strategically, and seal entry points to stop them from getting in.

What Lake Conroe Properties Need

Year-Round Waterfront Homes

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

Add monthly mosquito service during warm months – most waterfront homeowners do because mosquitoes are constant near the lake and impossible to ignore without treatment.

Weekend and Vacation Properties

If you’re not there full-time, pests move in while you’re gone. Spiders take over interiors. Wasps build nests on furniture and fixtures. Rodents find ways inside.

Quarterly service keeps things controlled between visits. We can coordinate timing so your property is ready when you arrive.

Waterfront and Dock Properties

Highest pest pressure of any property type. Direct water access means maximum mosquito exposure. Humidity attracts carpenter ants and termites. Spiders thrive in the environment.

Premium or Elite Plan recommended for waterfront Lake Conroe properties. More comprehensive coverage for the unique challenges of living directly on the water.

Older Lake Homes

Lake Conroe has properties from different decades. Older homes often have gaps, moisture damage from humidity, and wood deterioration that pests exploit.

We treat for pests and identify problem areas. Heavy exclusion or structural repair work gets quoted separately from regular pest service.

Service Plans for Lake Conroe

Common Pest Problems at Lake Conroe

Wasps on Docks and Structures

Paper wasps, red wasps, mud daubers – they build nests under eaves, on boats, around docks, on outdoor furniture. Aggressive when disturbed, especially near kids and pets.

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

Ants Following Moisture

Lakefront properties often have moisture issues from humidity. Ants follow water straight into homes. Argentine ants, rover ants, carpenter ants find any entry point.

We find and treat the colony at its source – not just kill the ones trailing across your counter.

Carpenter Ants in Damp Wood

Large black ants tunneling through wood. Common around lake properties with moisture problems, damaged wood, or humidity issues from being near the water.

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

Wildlife Getting Into Structures

Raccoons, squirrels, possums – they find gaps in structures and move right in. Tear up insulation, chew wires, leave contamination and damage.

We trap, remove, and seal entry points so they can’t return. Some properties need clean-up and sanitation after wildlife removal.
