Home Pest Control in Crockett, TX & East Texas
Ants in the kitchen, roaches in the bathroom, scorpions in the closet: in East Texas, pests are part of life until someone stops them at the source. Critter Gitters is the family-owned residential pest control company Crockett homeowners have trusted since 2006. We protect houses across Houston County and East Texas with quarterly home pest control plans, family- and pet-safe treatments and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Every plan starts with a free inspection by a licensed technician (TPCL #13381), so you get a treatment built around your home, not a one-size-fits-all spray.

Residential Pest Control for Every Pest in Your Home
No two homes are the same. A wooded lot near the Davy Crockett National Forest sees different pests than a house in town, and a pier-and-beam home needs different protection than a slab. That is why every residential plan starts with an inspection and is built around your home. Choose a pest below to learn how we treat it.
We work quietly, professionally, and on your schedule — minimizing disruption while maximizing protection.
Ants & Fire Ants
Stop the trails before they start. From sugar ants in the kitchen to fire ant mounds in the yard, we find colonies at the source and treat inside and out so they do not come back.
Roaches
Keep roaches out of your kitchen and bathrooms. We target the cracks, voids and entry points roaches use, with treatments for outdoor American roaches and indoor German roach infestations.
Spiders
Fewer webs, fewer surprises. We treat eaves, entry points and hiding spots, and remove webs and wasp nests, so your porch, garage and living spaces stay spider-free.
Rats & Mice
Rodents do not belong in your attic. We find how rats and mice are getting in, set monitoring and bait stations, and recommend exclusion repairs to keep them out of your home.
Termites
Protect the biggest investment you own. As Sentricon-certified technicians, we install and monitor termite bait systems and provide liquid treatments and inspections to stop termites before they cause damage.
Mosquitoes
Take back your backyard. Our mosquito treatments target the resting and breeding areas around your property so your family can enjoy evenings outside again.
Fleas & Ticks
Protect your pets and your family. We treat lawns, shaded areas and pet zones where fleas and ticks hide, cutting down bites and the diseases ticks can carry.
Scorpions
Peace of mind in every room. Scorpions are common in East Texas homes. Our scorpion plan treats the gaps, wall voids and outdoor hiding spots they use to get inside.

Quarterly Home Pest Control Plans
Most pest problems in East Texas are seasonal, so one-time sprays rarely last. Our quarterly pest control plans treat your home four times a year, inside and out, and keep a protective barrier in place between visits. If covered pests come back between treatments, we come back too, at no extra charge.
- Essential Plan: everyday pests including ants (Argentine, rover and odorous house ants), roaches, spiders, millipedes, centipedes, crickets, earwigs, silverfish, ground beetles and pill bugs. Includes interior and exterior treatments every 3 months, crack, crevice and perimeter applications, and web and wasp nest removal up to 15 ft.
- Premium Plan: everything in Essential, plus exterior rodent bait stations and monitoring, wasp nest removal up to 30 ft and fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft.
- Elite Plan: everything in Premium, plus a full Sentricon® termite monitoring system and carpenter ant treatment.
All plans are paid in easy monthly payments, and you save 10% when you add Mosquito Duo Defense or Lawn & Ornamental care. Compare our home pest control packages.
How Much Does Home Pest Control Cost?
The cost of home pest control depends on your house and what is bugging it. We give every homeowner a free, no-obligation quote after a quick inspection, so you know the exact price before any work starts. The main things that affect your price are:
- Home and lot size: a larger house or a wooded acreage lot needs more product and more time than a small in-town home.
- The pests you have: general pests are covered by our quarterly plans, while termites, bed bugs, German roach infestations and wildlife need specialty treatments.
- The plan you choose: Essential, Premium or Elite, plus any mosquito or lawn add-ons.
- How established the problem is: a heavy infestation may need a clean-out visit before regular service.

Seasonal Pests in East Texas Homes
Our warm, humid climate means something is always trying to get inside. Here is what East Texas homeowners usually see through the year:
- Spring: ant trails, fire ant mounds and termite swarmers as the ground warms up.
- Summer: mosquitoes, fleas and ticks in the yard, and wasps building nests under eaves.
- Fall: spiders, scorpions and rodents moving indoors as nights cool down.
- Winter: mice, rats and roaches looking for warmth inside walls, attics and kitchens.
Quarterly service is timed to stay ahead of each season, so pests are stopped at your perimeter before they become an indoor problem.
What to Expect at Your First Home Pest Control Visit
- Inspection: we walk your home inside and out to find the pests, entry points and conditions that attract them.
- Interior treatment: targeted crack and crevice applications in kitchens, bathrooms, garages and other problem areas.
- Exterior barrier: a perimeter treatment around your foundation, doors and windows, plus web and wasp nest removal.
- Recommendations: simple steps to keep pests out, like sealing gaps or trimming plants back from the house.
- Follow-up: we schedule your next quarterly visit, and you can call us anytime between visits if covered pests return.

Home Pest Control FAQs
How often should I get pest control for my home?
For most East Texas homes we recommend quarterly service, which means four visits a year. Treating every three months keeps a fresh barrier in place as pests change with the seasons. If covered pests return between visits, we re-treat at no extra charge.
How much does home pest control cost?
Your price depends on the size of your home and lot, the pests you are dealing with and the plan you choose. We provide a free quote after a quick inspection, and our quarterly plans are paid in easy monthly payments. Call (936) 546-7493 for an exact price.
Is home pest control safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use family- and pet-safe products and targeted applications in cracks, crevices and around your foundation rather than broad spraying. Your technician will let you know if pets should stay off any treated area until it dries.
Do I need to leave my house during treatment?
Not for our regular quarterly service; most families stay home while we work. If you need a specialty treatment such as a bed bug or German roach clean-out, we will explain any preparation in advance.
What happens if pests come back between visits?
Just call us. Every residential plan includes free re-service between scheduled visits if covered pests return. That is part of our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Does your home pest control plan cover termites?
Our Elite Plan includes a full Sentricon® termite monitoring system. We also offer termite inspections, WDO real estate reports and liquid termite treatments for any home, whether or not you are on a plan.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Crockett and serve homes across Houston County and East Texas, including Grapeland, Lovelady, Palestine, Huntsville, Conroe, Montgomery, The Woodlands and the surrounding communities. See our service areas or call us to confirm.
