Highland Park homes deal with steady pest pressure from landscaping, irrigated yards, and older structures with small gaps. We start by listening, then we treat where pests live and enter. Our standard plan runs quarterly and focuses on prevention, with targeted interior work where activity shows up. We clear spider webs and wasp starts, treat cracks and crevices, granulate the yard, and build a barrier around the foundation. If problems pop up between visits, we come back.
Shops, offices, and restaurants near Highland Park Village and along Preston Road need consistent control with minimal disruption. We set a plan that fits your hours, your staff flow, and your customer experience. We focus on entry points, storage areas, dumpsters, break rooms, and exterior pressure that pushes pests indoors. You get clear notes after each service, plus follow up visits if activity returns. From small storefronts to multi tenant buildings, we help you keep pests out and complaints down.
Ants in Highland Park show up fast when rain shifts or irrigation runs daily. We look for trails, nests near the foundation, and the spots ants use to enter around doors, weep holes, and plumbing lines. Our goal is to stop the ants you see and reduce the colony driving the traffic.
On the first visit, we treat the exterior perimeter and the areas where ants feed and travel. Inside, we focus on kitchens, bathrooms, and baseboards only where needed. We also point out simple fixes that cut food and moisture issues, like sealing pet food bins and cleaning sticky spots that keep ants coming back.
We handle bed bug service for current Forterra customers only. If you are already on a recurring plan and suspect bed bugs, we start with a conversation about what you are seeing and where bites or spotting show up. Then we schedule an inspection so we can confirm what is going on and rule out other causes.
If bed bugs are confirmed, we walk you through prep steps and what needs to be laundered, bagged, or moved before treatment. We focus on the rooms involved, the seams and cracks where bed bugs hide, and follow up based on the level of activity. If you are not a current customer, we can still point you to the right next step.
Wasps love eaves, porch ceilings, and fence lines in Highland Park, especially during warm spells. We start by identifying what you are dealing with and where the activity is centered. Most calls come from nests on the structure, not a random bee passing through the yard. For wasps, we knock down nests when possible and treat the areas where new nests form.
For bees, we can eliminate them, but we do not remove or rehome them, and we do not remove hives after treatment. Bee treatments are available for customers on a recurring service with us, and pricing depends on access and the setup needed for the job.
Roaches in Highland Park often start outside, then slip in through gaps around doors, plumbing penetrations, and garage areas. We treat the exterior first because outside pressure drives most indoor sightings. Then we target interior entry points and the zones where roaches hide, like under sinks and behind appliances.
If we suspect German roaches, we take a different approach with tighter follow-up because they reproduce fast and stay close to food and water. We use a combination of interior treatment, dust in cracks and crevices, and bait placed where kids and pets cannot reach it. Once activity drops, we shift to monitoring so you know the problem is under control.
Highland Park yards with shade, thick landscaping, and frequent watering create mosquito pressure even when you do not see standing water. Our monthly mosquito service reduces the population with each visit by treating the foliage and resting areas mosquitoes use during the day. We also point out hotspots like clogged gutters, birdbaths, and low areas that hold water after rain.
For stronger long-term control, we pair fogging with the MosquitoCon system. It uses biological sterilization pellets that help break the breeding cycle over time. Rain can reduce the impact of fogging in the short term, but MosquitoCon keeps working and helps steady your results through weather swings.
Rats and mice in Highland Park often show up when temperatures drop and attic spaces stay warm. We start with a free inspection and look for signs like droppings, rub marks, gnawing, and entry points along the roofline, eaves, and utility lines. We also look for conditions that draw rodents in, like pet food outdoors, cluttered storage, and trees or wires touching the structure.
Our service can include attic monitoring traps, interior trapping if rodents get inside, and exterior bait boxes we manage on a quarterly basis. If the home needs exclusion work, we quote it on site based on access and the number of openings to seal. After the problem is controlled, maintenance keeps new activity from restarting.
Scorpions are not common everywhere in the Park Cities, but we do run into them in garages, block walls, and landscaped areas that hold moisture and hide prey. Scorpions follow food, so control starts with reducing crickets and other insects around the home, then treating scorpion harborage outside.
On service day, we focus on cracks and crevices, weep holes, and the base of the home. We also clear webbing and treat areas where scorpions rest, like rock borders, stored items, and fence lines. Inside, we keep treatment limited to the areas where activity is reported. If you see one between visits, call us and we will come back.
Termites in Highland Park can stay hidden until you see swarmers near windows or mud tubes along a slab edge. We offer free termite inspections when you want answers without formal paperwork. If termites are active or you want prevention, we typically recommend the Sentricon bait station system in DFW.
Sentricon stations are installed around the perimeter, placed a short distance from the foundation, and spaced around 10 to 20 feet apart. We service and inspect them every 180 days. If there is active activity, we may add a targeted liquid spot treatment for quicker relief while the bait system works over time. You get a treatment warranty, and we renew coverage as long as you stay on service.
Yes. We service Highland Park and nearby areas like University Park, Preston Hollow, and parts of central Dallas. Most Highland Park addresses fall in 75205, and we know the housing styles, tight lots, and landscaping that drive pest activity here. When you call, we will confirm your address and schedule the soonest appointment we have available for that part of town.
Most homeowners in Highland Park do best on a quarterly plan. It matches the seasonal swings we see in North Texas and keeps a steady barrier around the home. Quarterly service also helps with pests that flare up after rain or heat, like ants and roaches that move in from outdoors. If you have a one time problem, we can start there and move to quarterly after.
We start with a quick set of questions about what you have noticed, then we inspect the exterior for entry points and active areas. We clear spider webs and early wasp starts, treat cracks and crevices, apply granules in the yard when needed, and treat the foundation perimeter. Interior work is targeted to the areas where pests live and enter, not a full house spray. You get notes on what we did.
For standard pest control, most customers stay home. We keep interior work limited and focused, and we can treat while you are there. If we need access to an attic, garage, or a specific room, we will ask ahead of time so the visit runs smooth. Some specialty services may have different instructions. When we book your appointment, we will tell you what to expect.
We can service condos and commercial spaces, and we tailor the plan to the building layout. For attached housing, we pay close attention to shared walls, plumbing penetrations, trash rooms, and door sweeps. For retail and office spaces near Highland Park Village, we schedule around business hours and focus on entry points, storage, break areas, and exterior pressure. If neighbors have an issue too, we will tell you what coordination helps.
If you are on a recurring plan and pests return between visits, call us. We will schedule a follow up visit to address the activity, then adjust the approach if we find a new entry point or a condition that changed. Weather shifts, construction nearby, and landscaping changes can all spike activity in 75205. We also offer a money back guarantee if we cannot resolve the issue after multiple attempts and you remain a customer.
