The brothers behind Forterra

Michael Lohner Manager
We're brothers. We argue about everything except the work, the work, we agree on completely.

How it works, The Zero Gap System™
Spray and pray is easy. Sealing is forever.
Every pest that gets inside your home came through a gap, a gas line penetration, an unsealed weep hole, a worn door sweep. Most companies spray a band and leave. We find the gaps and close them, one visit at a time. Whatever we seal stays sealed, even if you fire us tomorrow.
What your tech actually does on a typical Forterra residential pest visit. Every visit is 20–30 minutes and follows the same six-zone pass, so nothing gets skipped between techs or seasons. Numbers on the diagram match the 6 Zones below.
- 01
Inspect the perimeter.
Your tech walks all 6 zones, foundation, eaves, entry points, doors/windows, garage, yard, and logs what they find. They're then able to customize the treatment.
- 02
Treat where pests stage.
Perimeter treatment at the foundation, eave sweep, targeted spot treatments in high-pressure zones. We use the minimum effective product, not the maximum billable volume.
- 03
Seal a gap. Every visit.
This is the part everyone else skips. Weep holes, utility penetrations and seals that failed years ago, each closed with the material that suits it. It's slower. It's better. And it stays with your house forever.
- 04
Report & follow up.
Before we leave, you get a detailed report of what was treated, what was sealed, and what we flagged for the next visit. See a pest between services? Text us. We come back free.

Your technician
Field team · Dallas, Southlake, Aubrey
Every technician is a W-2 employee, not a subcontractor, and licensed under TPCL #850046. Routes are covered by the office nearest you, and every visit is logged so your home's history follows the account. Trucks carry GPS and cameras because careful driving gets the same attention as pests.
We are hiring technicians →Service area
Three DFW offices. One standard.
Local technicians who live in the communities they service. W-2 crews on routes they know, not a rotating cast from out of town.
ON THE ROAD
You'll spot our trucks across DFW, branded and driven by our own licensed W-2 technicians. All of our trucks have cameras and GPS devices installed because we take careful driving as seriously as we take pests.
