Fairfield, Teague, and Oakwood

Freestone County’s on the western edge of our service area. We’ve been taking care of properties around Fairfield, Teague, and Oakwood for years. Rural properties, small-town homes, lake places near Fairfield Lake – we handle all of it.

Pest Challenges in Freestone County

Freestone County gets the full range of East Texas pests. Fire ants. Mosquitoes. Termites thriving in the humidity. Roaches and spiders finding ways inside. Rodents and wildlife on properties with acreage or outbuildings.

And because a lot of properties here are more spread out with barns, shops, and outbuildings, pest pressure can be higher than a typical residential lot.

What We’re Seeing Around Freestone County

Fire Ants

They're everywhere. Yards, pastures, driveways, around mailboxes. We include fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft on Premium and Elite plans. Larger acreage gets quoted separately.

Termites

Active termite populations throughout Freestone County. Older homes, wooden fences, outbuildings – they're all at risk. We do inspections, treatments, and Sentricon monitoring for long-term protection.

Mosquitoes

Trees, ponds, stock tanks – all breeding grounds. Our Mosquito Duo Defense program treats vegetation where adults rest and targets larvae in standing water to cut populations down.

Rodents and Wildlife

Rats, mice, raccoons, squirrels, armadillos, possums. Rural properties deal with this constantly. We trap what's there and seal entry points to keep them from coming back.

Spiders and Wasps

Black widows in barns and storage buildings. Brown recluse in closets and storage areas. Wasp nests on every structure. We treat for all of them and remove nests as part of regular service.

Service Plans for Freestone County

Essential Plan – Quarterly treatments for ants, roaches, spiders, crickets, and other common pests. Interior and exterior. Web and wasp removal up to 15 feet. If covered pests come back, so do we – guaranteed.

Premium Plan – Essential plus rodent bait stations, fire ant treatment, and wasp removal up to 30 feet. Better for larger properties or ongoing pest issues.

Elite Plan – Complete coverage. Premium plus Sentricon termite monitoring and carpenter ant treatment. For folks who want everything handled without thinking about it.

Add mosquito control or lawn services to any plan and save 10%.

What Service Looks Like on Rural Properties

Rural properties take more time. We’re treating the house, shop, barn, shed – wherever pests are active. Checking for rodent activity, wasp nests, spider harborage areas.

First visit, we walk the property with you. Figure out what’s going on and where. Then we recommend a plan that actually fits your situation.

Treatments are thorough but targeted. We treat where pests are living and where they’re getting in. Not just spraying everything and hoping it works.

Common Questions from Freestone County Customers

“Can you treat all the outbuildings too?”
Yep. We treat all structures on the property – house, garage, barn, shop, storage buildings. That’s where a lot of pest activity originates.

“What about fire ants in the pasture?”
If it’s a large area, we’ll quote it separately. But for yards and high-traffic areas around the house, Premium and Elite plans include treatment up to 20,000 sq ft.

“Do you handle wildlife getting into the barn or attic?”
Yeah. We trap and exclude for raccoons, squirrels, rats, armadillos, and other wildlife. It’s a separate service from pest control, but we do it.

“How often do I need service out here?”
Most properties do fine with quarterly treatments. If you’ve got heavy pest pressure or specific issues, we might recommend more frequent visits at first to get control.
