Pest control in Irving, TX.

Yes. Flea treatment covers carpets, rugs, furniture and pet resting spots inside, plus the shaded parts of the yard where pets lie. On the day, wash pet bedding and vacuum thoroughly before the technician arrives, then keep vacuuming daily for two weeks, since that pulls newly hatched fleas into the treatment. A return visit applies if fleas persist after that prep.

Very little. Note where and when you have seen pests, since that points your exterminator to the right spots first. Move stored items a foot away from garage walls if you can, clear under the sinks and unlock any side gates. Keep pets inside until outdoor treatment dries, which usually takes about half an hour, and you will hear the exact time before the visit ends.

Yes. Rats usually get into DFW houses through gaps around AC lines, low openings near the foundation and crawl space vents, not through brick weep holes, which are usually too small for them. Your exterminator seals those entries first, traps inside for about a week, and then keeps exterior bait stations serviced every quarter. The inside inspection costs nothing when rodents are why you called.

They help. The canals and Lake Carolyn move slowly, and the planters, courtyard fountains and drains around them hold still water through much of the year, so north Irving mosquitoes often appear in March and linger past October. The canal water itself, kept moving, breeds fewer than the small containers around homes. The seasonal program treats your shrubs and shaded walls where adults rest, with MosquitoCon stations working on larvae close by.

Because cleanliness only affects one kind. American roaches in south Irving live in sewer lines and come up through drains and settled seams in seventy-year-old foundations no matter how clean the kitchen is. German roaches arrive in boxes and used appliances. Your technician identifies which one you have, treats outside and closes the gaps for the big ones, and uses gel bait with a growth regulator indoors for German roaches.

Often. Townhomes in Las Colinas share firewalls, attic spaces and plumbing runs, so roaches and mice move between units more easily than between detached houses. A neighbor's problem can show up in your kitchen or garage within weeks. Your technician treats your unit inside and out, closes gaps around pipes and attic penetrations, and suggests your HOA coordinate treatment across the row when pressure keeps returning.

The old fixes are usually the way in. South Irving homes from the fifties often have window AC units with gaps around the frame, abandoned gas lines for wall heaters, garage conversions and gable vents with tired screens. The winter mouse push finds them all. Your technician walks those spots first, closes them, and then traps indoors, and the interior inspection costs nothing when mice are the problem.
