Rowlett neighborhoods deal with ants in the kitchen, spiders in the eaves, and the occasional roach in the bathroom. We built our Basic Pest Prevention plan to stop those problems before they spread, using quarterly treatments and detailed exterior work around your home. Our techs sweep eaves, treat weep holes, granulate the yard, and apply a strong foundation barrier, with interior treatments as needed. If bugs come back between visits, just call and we return for a free re-service. That is how we keep Rowlett homes comfortable year-round.
Rowlett businesses cannot afford pests bothering customers or staff. We work with offices, restaurants, warehouses, and churches to build pest plans that fit their schedule and risk level. Our commercial visits focus on entry points, storage rooms, dumpsters, and mulch beds where activity usually starts. We document what we find, talk through options, and adjust treatment frequency as seasons shift. You get a direct line to our team and free re-services between visits if something pops up. We treat your building like our own every single visit.
Ants are one of the most common complaints we see in Rowlett homes. Kitchens, bathrooms, and patios attract sugar ants, fire ants, and carpenter ants looking for food and moisture. You might notice long trails along baseboards or tiny piles of dirt pushing through cracks in the driveway. Left alone, colonies grow fast and can spread through yards, walls, and even attic spaces. Carpenter ants can also damage wood trim and siding, which worries many homeowners who already juggle busy family schedules.
Our ant control in Rowlett starts with figuring out which species you have and where the colony sits. We use targeted baits and exterior treatments so worker ants carry product back to the nest instead of only killing what you see. Our Basic Pest Prevention plan includes coverage for most ant species, including fire ants, with a small add-on for carpenter ants on the initial visit. If activity pops up between visits, we come back for free re-treatment.
Bed bugs cause a lot of stress for Rowlett families, especially after travel or when kids share rooms. Bites along arms or backs, tiny spots on sheets, and dark specks near mattress seams are common signs. Many people first try store products or foggers and then see bugs again a few weeks later. Bed bugs hide in headboards, nightstands, and even electrical covers, so do-it-yourself attempts usually miss key spots and allow the problem to linger.
We handle bed bug work only for existing Forterra customers in Rowlett, since these cases involve detailed prep and close follow-up. Our team walks you through prep steps, then applies directed treatments to sleeping areas, furniture, and cracks where bugs hide. We focus on breaking the life cycle and checking progress over time instead of rushing one quick visit. If you are already on our service, call our office and we will talk through next steps.
Stinging insects around your Rowlett home or business can disrupt patios, deliveries, and customer entrances. Wasps love high eaves, porch ceilings, and play areas, building paper nests that grow through the summer. Bees and yellowjackets may appear in wall voids, soffits, or the ground near sprinklers. Kids, pets, and employees feel on edge when they hear constant buzzing near doors. Many people knock down nests themselves and end up with multiple stings or nests that return even larger.
Our bee and wasp control in Rowlett focuses first on correct identification. Most calls turn out to be wasp nests on the home, which we remove and treat using targeted products and an extendable pole. For bee issues, we only perform treatments for recurring Forterra customers and we do not relocate hives. In some short-term swarming cases, we may advise waiting a bit, since those bees sometimes move on without treatment.
Few pests unsettle Rowlett homeowners like roaches racing over a countertop at night. In our area we see both large American roaches and smaller German roaches in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages. Roaches spread bacteria and trigger asthma for some people, especially kids. They thrive in wall voids, plumbing penetrations, and warm attic spaces, so killing the few you see on the floor does not solve the real problem hidden behind the scenes.
Our Basic Pest Prevention plan tackles standard roach activity with exterior granules, dust in attics, crack-and-crevice treatments, and focused interior work around pipes and entry points. For German roaches, we follow a more aggressive program that combines Alpine sprays, baits, dusts, and regular follow-up visits until activity stops. Both options include our re-treat guarantee, and German roach work carries an additional charge on the initial service because of the extra time and material required.
Warm evenings in Rowlett should be spent on the patio, not swatting mosquitoes every few seconds. Yards near Lake Ray Hubbard, creeks, or drainage areas can see heavy mosquito activity once temperatures climb. They rest in shaded vegetation during the day and then swarm people and pets at dusk. Store-bought foggers and candles might reduce bites for a short time but rarely touch breeding spots, so population levels bounce back right after each rain.
Our mosquito control program combines backpack fogging with the MosquitoCon system for steady reduction through the season. We treat shaded areas, under decks, around patios, and along fence lines, then place MosquitoCon stations that interrupt breeding in standing water. Each visit takes about twenty minutes depending on yard size, and our team points out conditions that contribute to the problem so you can correct them without extra products. If mosquitoes remain heavy, we return for a free re-service.
Rats and mice in Rowlett tend to show up first as scratching in the attic, droppings in the garage, or chewed pet food bags. With nearby water and older neighborhoods, rodents can move along fences, tree branches, and utility lines to reach your roof. Once inside, they damage insulation, wiring, and stored items. Snap traps from the hardware store might catch one or two, but they rarely address entry holes or the full population.
Our rodent control starts with a free inspection of your roofline, attic, and exterior to find how rodents get in. We design an exclusion plan, seal active entry points, set interior traps, and place professional bait stations outside the home. Pricing for exclusion work in Rowlett starts near six hundred fifty dollars for a single-story home, with ongoing rodent service available for continued monitoring, bait maintenance, and interior trapping coverage if activity returns.
Striped bark scorpions show up in many North Texas suburbs, and Rowlett is no exception. They hide under rocks, garden timbers, and wood piles outside, then slip under doors or through weep holes into garages and living spaces. Most stings feel similar to a wasp sting but still worry parents when kids play in the yard or on bedroom floors. Finding even one scorpion inside usually means more are hiding along the exterior of the home.
Our scorpion control in Rowlett focuses on sealing off common entry points and reducing the insects they feed on. During regular services we treat weep holes, cracks, and crevices with long-lasting products, granulate the yard, and sweep eaves for spiders and wasps. Scorpions are covered under our Basic Pest Prevention plan, so you can address them without a separate specialty contract. If you see activity between visits, we schedule a free re-service to knock numbers back down.
Subterranean termites are a quiet threat in Rowlett, especially in homes with soil contact near siding, decks, or porch posts. Mud tubes on foundation walls, damaged trim, or swarming winged insects in spring are common warning signs. Termites feed twenty-four hours a day and can move through expansion joints and plumbing penetrations without drawing attention. Many homeowners first notice them during a real estate transaction or remodel, when damage around baseboards or studs becomes visible.
We offer termite inspections, Sentricon monitoring programs, and pre-construction or limited liquid treatments, depending on your situation. For most Rowlett homes we recommend Sentricon stations placed around the foundation, serviced twice per year, with spot liquid treatments if active termites are present. Our team also completes Wood Destroying Insect reports for real estate deals. Termite programs include a treatment warranty while you stay on service, so if activity appears again we return to address it.
