Pest Control for Latexo Homes and Properties

Latexo’s small. Just a few hundred folks. But the pest problems are the same as anywhere else in Houston County.

Fire ants in yards. Mosquitoes near wooded areas and creeks. Termites targeting older homes. Rodents in outbuildings. And if you’ve got land, wildlife getting into structures.

We’ve been handling pest control in Latexo since 2006. Same reliable service we bring to every property across Houston County.

The Pest Situation in Latexo

Fire Ants in Yards and Pastures

Fire ants love Latexo. Warm weather, soft soil, plenty of moisture – perfect conditions.

They build mounds across yards, pastures, and anywhere people walk. Painful stings. Aggressive behavior. They spread fast if you don’t stay on top of them.

Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft. Keeps them knocked down year-round.

Mosquitoes Near Wooded Properties

Most Latexo properties have trees, brush, or low areas that hold water. Mosquitoes thrive in those conditions.

April through October, they’re relentless. Our monthly mosquito program uses barrier treatments and In2Care systems to reduce populations significantly.

Termites Finding Homes and Barns

Humidity and wood structures – that’s all termites need. Latexo’s got both.

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

Rodents in Rural Structures

Mice and rats love barns, sheds, and storage buildings. They nest in stored items, chew wiring, and contaminate everything.

We trap, place exterior bait stations, and seal entry points. Ongoing issues need ongoing treatment.

How We Approach Latexo Properties

In-Town Homes

Essential or Premium Plan works for most. Quarterly treatments cover ants, roaches, spiders, and everyday pests. Premium adds rodent control and fire ant treatment.

Rural Properties with Land

More acreage means more pest pressure. Wildlife. Fire ants across multiple acres. Mosquitoes near wooded areas.

Premium or Elite Plan gives you better coverage. For larger properties, we quote fire ant and mosquito service based on actual size.

Older Homes and Outbuildings

Latexo’s got older properties with character – and also with gaps, wood damage, and entry points pests exploit.

We treat and point out problems. Heavy exclusion work (permanent sealing) is a separate quote.

Pest Problems We Handle Around Latexo

Spiders Around Rural Properties

Black widows in woodpiles. Brown recluse in storage areas. Wolf spiders running across floors at night. Orb weavers building webs everywhere.

We treat where spiders actually live – not just spray baseboards. Knock down webs, treat harborage areas, reduce their food sources.

Ants Trailing Into Homes

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

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

Wasps Building Nests

Under eaves, in barns, on stored equipment – wasps build nests everywhere around Latexo properties.

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

Wildlife in Attics and Crawlspaces

Raccoons, squirrels, possums – they find gaps in older homes and move right in.

We trap and remove them, then seal entry points so they can’t return. Some jobs need attic clean-up and sanitation after removal.
