Our motto is simple: Bugs belong outside. Never inside. Princeton homes see ants, spiders, wasps, and the occasional rodent. Our Basic Pest Prevention plan gives your home ongoing quarterly protection that targets the spots pests use. We sweep eaves, dust weep holes and cracks, granulate the yard, and treat the foundation and key interior areas where activity shows. If bugs show up between services, call. We come back at no extra charge, backed by our straightforward money-back guarantee. You get clear pricing online and honest recommendations tailored to Princeton neighborhoods.
From shops off US-380 to offices near downtown, Princeton businesses depend on consistent pest control that keeps customers comfortable and operations smooth. We build service plans for restaurants, offices, churches, and light industrial spaces that focus on entry points, dumpsters, kitchens, and storage areas where pests thrive. Your technician learns your building, documents each visit, and adjusts treatments with the seasons. If activity pops up between visits, we return to treat again at no extra cost. We work with your schedule, including early or limited weekend slots.
Ants in Princeton yards and kitchens can feel endless, especially fire ants along walkways and carpenter ants near decks or siding. Our ant control starts with identifying the species and locating colonies, not just spraying a trail. We use targeted baits and treatments that worker ants carry back to the nest, which helps break down the colony instead of just knocking down the ants you see.
Most ant problems in Princeton fall under our Basic Pest Prevention plan, which treats the yard, weep holes, and foundation and includes free re-services between regular visits. Carpenter ants or heavy fire ant activity may need an upgraded initial treatment, and we will explain those options before we start. You get clear pricing, honest advice, and long-term relief from the worst ant issues on your property.
Bed bugs show up in Princeton after travel, guest visits, or thrifted furniture and can spread from room to room quickly. Small reddish bites in lines, dark spotting on sheets, and live bugs along mattress seams are common signs. We walk you through what to look for, how to bag and wash linens, and which areas in bedrooms or living rooms tend to hide activity.
We handle bed bug treatments only for existing Forterra customers who already use our ongoing pest services. That way you work with a team that knows your home and history. When needed, we send a prep sheet, schedule longer service windows, and return for follow-up checks until activity is gone. If you are in Princeton and already part of the Forterra family, call our office to talk through next steps.
Princeton neighborhoods around US-380 and near Lake Lavon see steady wasp and hornet activity on eaves, playsets, and patio overhangs. Nests near doors or kids’ areas can turn a normal day outside into a sting risk. Our technicians start by identifying whether you are dealing with paper wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, or honey bees, then choose the right products and application method for the structure and height.
For wasps and hornets we sweep and knock down nests with extension poles, then treat contact areas to cut down new activity. Bee treatments are available only for current recurring customers and always carry an extra charge, since they fall outside our Basic Pest Prevention plan. We do not remove or relocate hives, but we will treat problem areas and stand behind the work with our re-treat guarantee.
Roaches in Princeton homes show up in kitchens, bathrooms, and warm wall voids, especially in older houses or tight townhomes. We see both large American roaches coming from sewers and the smaller German roaches that thrive around appliances. Our first step is inspection so we know which species we are dealing with and how heavy the activity is in cabinets, pantries, behind refrigerators, and under sinks.
Most general roach problems fall under our Basic Pest Prevention plan, which combines exterior granules, crack-and-crevice dusting, and targeted interior treatments. Heavy German roach issues need a different approach with special sprays, bait placements, glue boards, and frequent follow-ups until activity drops off. Because those jobs require more time, they carry an added initial fee, and we explain that during your quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Warm nights around Princeton, especially near Lake Lavon and local creeks, bring heavy mosquito activity that can make patios unusable. Our mosquito program pairs monthly fogging with our MosquitoCon system to tackle both resting adults and breeding sites. We walk the yard, treat shaded vegetation, and treat harborage around decks, fences, and play areas so you see fewer swarms when you step outside in the evening.
MosquitoCon uses biological pellets that mosquitoes carry into standing water, which disrupts their ability to reproduce without you having to find every puddle. Each visit usually takes around twenty minutes, depending on yard size. Our treatments hold up well between visits, and if weather or heavy rains cause a big spike in activity before your next service, we back the work with a strong re-treat guarantee for our Princeton customers.
Rats and mice in Princeton often follow new construction and open fields along FM-982 and US-380 into nearby neighborhoods. Scratching in the attic, droppings in the garage, or chewed pet food bags are common warning signs. Our rodent control starts with a free inspection where we look for entry points, rub marks, droppings, and conducive conditions in the attic, roofline, and around the foundation of your home or shop.
From there we build a plan that usually includes sealing entry holes, placing bait boxes outside, and setting traps in attics or interior spaces. Larger jobs may call for a dedicated Rodent Service add-on that covers ongoing monitoring and discounted future exclusion work. As long as you stay on that program, interior trapping stays under warranty, and we keep checking your Princeton property on a regular schedule.
Striped bark scorpions are a fact of life in North Texas, including Princeton. They like woodpiles, rock borders, and gaps around foundations, then wander into garages or living spaces at night. Stings hurt, especially for kids, and most homeowners want numbers down. During your service we focus on harborage areas, treat along the base of exterior walls, and look for gaps and weep holes that give scorpions shelter.
Scorpions are included in our Basic Pest Prevention plan for Princeton customers, so you do not need a separate specialty program. Regular quarterly treatments, combined with knocking down spider webs and wasp nests, cut down both scorpions and the insects they feed on. If you continue to see scorpions between scheduled visits, just reach out and we will come back, inspect, and treat again at no extra charge.
Princeton sits in a prime zone for subterranean termites, especially in slab-on-grade homes with landscaping beds against the foundation. Mud tubes on slab edges, damaged trim, or swarming termites each spring are common warning signs in Collin County. When you call us for a termite concern, we inspect the exterior, interior, and accessible attic areas to look for active colonies, moisture issues, and construction details that raise risk.
For most Princeton homes we recommend the Sentricon termite baiting system, installed in stations around the perimeter and serviced twice per year. Each station works quietly in the background as termites feed on the bait and share it within the colony. For active infestations we may pair Sentricon with targeted liquid spot treatments or, on new builds, pre-construction soil and wood treatments. All termite programs include an ongoing service warranty while you remain a customer.
In Princeton we recommend quarterly general pest control for most homes. North Texas pests follow the seasons. Termites ramp up in March and April, mosquitoes hit hardest April through October, and rodents move inside more from October through January. Quarterly visits let us adjust treatments with the weather, spot problems early, and give you unlimited free re-services between appointments if anything pops up between scheduled stops.
Yes. We already treat homes and small businesses throughout Princeton and the 75407 ZIP code, from neighborhoods near Princeton High School and Longneck Road to properties closer to Lake Lavon. Our routes run daily along US-380 between McKinney, Princeton, and Farmersville, so we can fold your home or storefront into an existing route and still give you reliable scheduling and quick follow-ups when needed.
Our Basic Pest Prevention plan in Princeton covers the pests most North Texas homes deal with day to day. That includes ants, spiders, scorpions, crickets, roaches, earwigs, beetles, silverfish, wasps, and more. Fleas, ticks, carpenter ants, and German roaches are covered too, but those need an upgraded initial treatment because of the extra work involved. Your technician will walk you through coverage during your first visit.
In many cases, yes. We work hard to offer next-day service in Princeton and can sometimes fit true same-day visits during peak season. Current customers get priority scheduling when an urgent issue comes up. New customers who call or fill out our online form hear from us quickly, since our team responds to leads right away and books your first visit as soon as we find an open spot.
We base Princeton pricing mainly on the square footage of your home and the type of service you need. You can see example prices online, so there are no hidden fees or surprise add-ons. We often run promotions like half-off the initial with a one-year agreement, plus small discounts for military families, referrals, and paying the year in full. Commercial work is quoted on-site after an inspection.
We do handle bed bug treatments in Princeton, but only for existing Forterra customers who already use our recurring pest services. Bed bug work is intensive and usually involves prep sheets, longer appointments, and follow-up visits, so we reserve it for customers we already know well. If you are on our plan and suspect bed bugs, call our office and we will talk through options and inspection timing.
