Pest Control in Mesquite, TX

Ants in Mesquite can show up in kitchens, bathrooms, yards, and around foundations. Many species follow scent trails from the colony straight to your food or water, which is why sprays alone rarely fix the problem. We focus on the colony, not just the ants you see, using targeted products that foraging ants carry back to nesting sites.

Our technicians inspect the property, locate trails and moisture issues, then combine baits, spot treatments, and exterior barriers around your Mesquite home or business. If carpenter ants are involved, we look for wood damage, piles of frass, and other signs that help us separate ant activity from possible termite activity, then recommend the right follow-up. Ant re-treats are included under our Basic Pest Prevention plan.

We handle bed bug work only for existing Forterra customers, because these jobs are intensive and we want full context on the home and any past issues. If you are already on a plan with us in Mesquite and suspect bed bugs, we start with a detailed inspection to confirm activity and locate harborages in bedrooms, living areas, and furniture.

Once confirmed, we walk you through preparation steps, explain what to move, what to bag, and when you need to be out of the home. Treatments focus on cracks, seams, and other tight spots where bed bugs hide. Because we limit this service to existing customers, we can track progress over time and tie follow-up visits into your regular service schedule rather than one-off visits.

Stinging insects around entries, patios, and play areas are a big concern for Mesquite families. Our technicians handle wasp nests on structures often as part of regular service, starting with a full inspection of eaves, light fixtures, vents, and yard features where nests build up. Many calls we receive are for visible nests on or near the home, which we can usually address during a regular visit.

Bee work is different. We treat bees only for recurring Forterra customers and do not provide one-time bee jobs. We can eliminate bees but do not remove or relocate hives, and pricing depends on access, height, and equipment needed. For ground nests and yellow jackets, we often use dust products that reach deep into voids. When we think bees may just be passing through, we may recommend waiting a short period, since transient swarms often move on.

Cockroaches spread quickly in Mesquite kitchens, garages, and multifamily buildings, and different species need different approaches. For non-German roaches, we usually start outside by granulating around the structure, dusting cracks and crevices, including the attic, and treating entry points. That exterior work helps cut down the population before they reach interior spaces.

German roaches need a more intense approach, with targeted sprays, gel baits, and dust in tight gaps. We schedule follow-ups every few days at first because German roaches reproduce fast and often hide behind appliances and in wall voids. Once activity drops, we switch to monitoring with glue boards and bait to confirm control. German roach work is covered under our Basic Pest Prevention plan with an added charge on the initial visit when we already know they are present.

Mosquitoes are a big part of life around Mesquite, especially near standing water, shaded yards, and greenbelts. Our mosquito service uses monthly fogging to knock down adult mosquitoes on shrubs, fences, and shaded areas, paired with our MosquitoCon system that targets breeding water on the property. Together, those methods reduce numbers with each treatment and help keep activity lower between visits.

Technicians walk the yard, look for low spots and containers that collect water, and point out changes you can make that reduce breeding sites without more product. The MosquitoCon system uses biological pellets that interfere with mosquito reproduction and can be used in water where pets and fish live. We back the program with a re-treat guarantee, and we only offer mosquito service from spring through fall when mosquitoes are active in North Texas.

Rats and mice in Mesquite often start outside around trash, pet food, or heavy vegetation, then move into attics and wall voids. Our rodent program starts with a free inspection to identify droppings, entry points, gnawing, and tunneling in insulation. We ask questions about where and when you hear activity to narrow down whether you are dealing with rats or mice, then design a trapping and exclusion plan around that.

Exclusion and trapping work includes sealing active entry points, placing traps in attics and key interior areas, and installing exterior bait boxes. After the initial service, you can move onto our ongoing Rodent Service, which includes monitoring traps, quarterly maintenance on bait boxes, interior trapping under warranty, and discounts on future exclusion work. Attic sanitation is available as an added service when needed and is quoted based on attic size.

Scorpions worry many Mesquite homeowners, especially near rock borders, stacked materials, and cracks along foundations and walls. We treat scorpions as part of our Basic Pest Prevention plan, which covers a wide range of crawling pests, including scorpions, spiders, and beetles. Exterior work focuses on building a barrier, dusting weep holes and gaps, and treating harborage areas where scorpions like to hide during the day.

During service, technicians point out clutter, wood piles, or gaps that give scorpions shelter and help you decide what to change. Inside, we may treat baseboards, closets, and other areas where you report sightings, while keeping product use focused on likely harborage zones rather than broad spraying. Because scorpions often move in from neighboring properties, our quarterly schedule helps keep pressure down over time. Re-treats are included if you see activity between visits.

Termites are a serious concern in North Texas, and Mesquite is no exception. We focus on subterranean termites, including Eastern subterranean and Formosan species, which move from soil into homes through hidden mud tubes. Our preferred solution is the Sentricon termite baiting system, installed in stations around your foundation and serviced twice per year for ongoing protection, whether you have active termites or want a preventative program.

For active infestations, we may add a targeted liquid termiticide treatment or Sentricon Flex Packs in problem areas to give faster relief while the bait system works. We also offer pre-construction treatments, wood treatments, and liquid trench-and-treat options in select situations. Termite services include an ongoing treatment warranty while you stay on the plan, plus available annual renewal inspections and real-estate WDI reports when documentation is required for a sale or refinance.
