Oak Lawn has older homes, new builds, condos, and apartments, so we treat with the structure in mind. Our quarterly service focuses on the places pests sneak in: eaves, doors, windows, garage edges, and plumbing lines. We treat the exterior foundation and yard hot spots, and we handle the interior where it makes sense for your home. If covered pests show back up between visits, call us and we will come back out.
Pests can cause bad reviews fast, especially in busy Oak Lawn retail and restaurant spaces. We start with a clear inspection, then treat entry points, dumpster areas, storage rooms, and restrooms where activity starts. Our team works around your operating hours, keeps service notes simple, and helps you spot the conditions that keep pests coming back. If something pops up between scheduled visits, we respond fast and get you back to normal.
Ants usually start outside, then follow moisture and food into kitchens, pantries, and pet bowls. We track where they are trailing, identify the likely nest zones, and treat the exterior first so pressure drops fast.
Inside, we focus on cracks, baseboards, and plumbing entry points. When the situation calls for it, we use baiting so foraging ants carry it back to the colony. That matters because killing the ants you see does not fix the ants you do not see. We will also point out simple fixes that help, like sealing gaps and cutting back vegetation touching the structure.
We do bed bug work for existing recurring customers only. We do not market it heavily, and we will be upfront if your situation is a better fit for a specialist.
If you are already on a Forterra plan and you suspect bed bugs, start with a call. We will talk through what you are seeing, then schedule an inspection when it makes sense. If signs point to bed bugs, we will give clear prep steps and a treatment plan built around your home and your timeline. If you are not a current customer, we can still point you in the right direction so you can get help fast.
Most Oak Lawn calls are for nests on the structure, like under eaves, patio covers, and fence lines. We can identify what you are dealing with over the phone, and for bee or ground nest situations we will set up a free inspection.
For bees, we require recurring service and do not offer one time service. If you are only seeing a few bees for a couple of days, we may tell you to wait since they often move on. If activity keeps going for a couple of weeks, they may be building a hive and we can step in. We can eliminate bees, but we do not re home them and we do not remove hives.
Roaches love tight, hidden areas like wall voids, attics, and plumbing penetrations. For most roach issues, we treat the exterior with granules, handle attic areas, dust cracks and crevices, and spray interior entry points where they travel.
German roaches are a different job. They usually need a tighter plan with a targeted product application, bait placement in the right spots, and follow up visits every 3 to 5 days until activity drops. We also use monitoring so you can see progress over time.
Oak Lawn yards back up to green space, alleys, and shaded pockets that hold moisture, so mosquito pressure can build fast. Our mosquito program runs seasonally, April 1 through October 31.
We pair monthly fogging with a population control approach using MosquitoCon. A typical visit takes about 20 minutes, depending on yard size, and we can return if mosquitoes spike again. Rain can reduce the impact of fogging, but MosquitoCon keeps working and helps reduce the population over time.
If you hear scratching in the attic or see droppings in the garage, you need more than a quick trap. We start with a free inspection, then build a plan around entry points, attic activity, and exterior conditions that attract rodents. We handle rats and mice.
Exclusion plus trapping starts at $650 for a one story home and $950 for a two story home, with pricing based on what we find on site. After that, many customers move to ongoing maintenance that includes exterior bait boxes and continued monitoring.
Scorpions show up when they have food and cover. That usually means other insects, clutter, gaps around doors, and dark edges like garages and storage rooms. Our first step is inspection, because scorpion activity often points to a wider pest issue we can knock down.
We focus treatment where scorpions travel and hide: exterior foundation lines, fence lines, weep holes, and crack zones around plumbing and utility penetrations. Then we reduce the insect food source with the same barrier approach we use for general pests. Scorpions are included in our general pest coverage list, so we can fold it into a consistent plan instead of chasing sightings one at a time.
Termites are a major risk in Dallas, and Oak Lawn homes are no exception. Our go to approach is Sentricon termite monitoring and control, installed around the perimeter and checked twice per year.
Bait stations work over time, so if we find active termites, we may also do a spot treatment with a liquid termiticide to give you faster relief while the system does its job. We offer a treatment warranty while you remain a customer, but we do not warranty termite damage.
We service the Oak Lawn area and nearby Dallas neighborhoods, including routes near Cedar Springs Road, Lemmon Avenue, Turtle Creek, and Love Field. If you are in 75219, 75204, 75235, 75201, or 75205, you are typically in our normal service footprint. If you are close but not sure, send your address and we will confirm scheduling options for your block.
We move quickly when we have openings. Many Oak Lawn customers can get an appointment as soon as the next day, especially during lighter parts of the week. During peak season, spots fill faster, but we still push for the earliest available window. Once you are booked, we send reminders and a heads up when your technician is on the way.
Most Oak Lawn homes and small businesses do best on a quarterly schedule. Consistent service keeps pressure down from ants, roaches, spiders, and other common pests that move in from landscaping and neighboring structures. If you have a specific issue like rodents or mosquitoes, that can require a different schedule. We will recommend a plan that fits your property and what you are seeing.
We start with the exterior because that is where pests enter. We treat the foundation and key entry points, then we address interior areas as needed based on what you report and what we find. Interior work often targets cracks, baseboards, and plumbing lines rather than blanket treatments. If you prefer exterior only service, tell us and we will structure the visit around that.
Yes, and Oak Lawn has a lot of rentals and shared wall properties, so we deal with this daily. We can treat your unit and the exterior areas you control, like patios and garages. For building wide issues, we may recommend involving property management so the source gets addressed. We will also share practical steps you can take inside your unit while we handle treatment.
A little access goes a long way. Clear clutter away from kitchen and bathroom sinks, move a few items off baseboards in problem rooms, and unlock gates so we can reach the full perimeter. If you have pets, tell us where they will be during service. For businesses, let us know your busiest hours so we can treat discreetly and stay out of the way.
