"He was very thorough and engaging"
General Pest Control in Southlake, TX
Four visits a year aimed at the yard rather than the building. On Southlake properties the question is not how something crossed the wall, it is why so much of it is sitting against it.

Forterra General Pest Control is a quarterly residential pest service for the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, starting at $49/month. Every visit is delivered using the proprietary Zero Gap System™, a treatment method that identifies and seals pest entry points with copper mesh, silicone, and caulk instead of relying on chemicals alone. The service covers over 50 of the most common DFW pests, including ants, roaches, spiders, scorpions, wasps, crickets, fleas, and rats and mice. Forterra rotates products and strategies based on the season to prevent pest resistance and re-treats free between maintenance visits if pests return. All services are backed by the Forterra Money-Back Guarantee and performed under Texas Pest Control License TPCL #850046. Does not include termites, mosquitoes, squirrels or wildlife.

Large homes, and the landscaping around them.
Southlake properties give the quarterly plan a different job. The buildings are newer and generally sound, so the routes in are fewer and more specific, but the lots are large and heavily planted, which means the pressure against the building is constant. Beds built up against brick, mulch holding moisture at the slab line, irrigation running on a timer and mature planting touching the wall all move insects from the yard to the foundation.
That makes the visit as much about the ground as the structure. Perimeter treatment, the bed edges, the fence line and anywhere planting contacts the building, plus the specific gaps that newer construction tends to leave at roofline transitions and service penetrations. Large homes also mean large attics and garages, which get looked at rather than assumed. The plan is $49 a month with initial service from $149, starting any month.
Outdoor living space changes the priorities here too. Covered patios, outdoor kitchens and pool areas are where problems actually get noticed on these properties, so those get treated as living space rather than as yard. A programme that services the house perimeter and ignores the entertaining area misses where the complaints come from.

A perimeter service built to keep the bugs where they belong: outside.
General Pest Control is our foundational quarterly service. A Forterra technician, the same one, ideally, every visit, treats the exterior perimeter of your home: the foundation line, eaves, windows, doors, utility penetrations, garage, and yard zones where pests stage before they get inside.
Treatment is only half of it. The rest is exclusion: finding and sealing the gaps that act as highways for pests. Weep holes, gas-line and AC penetrations, gaps around door sweeps, unscreened vents. We use copper mesh, silicone, and sealant-grade caulk, materials that stay with the house whether you remain a customer or not.
Because we treat the outside thoroughly, we almost never need to spray the inside. That's better service and a better-protected home.

Spray and pray is easy. Sealing is forever.
Every pest that gets inside your home came through a gap, a gas line penetration, an unsealed weep hole, a worn door sweep. Most companies spray a band and leave. We find the gaps and close them, one visit at a time. Whatever we seal stays sealed, even if you fire us tomorrow.
- 01
Inspect the perimeter.
Your tech walks all 6 zones, foundation, eaves, entry points, doors/windows, garage, yard, and logs what they find. They're then able to customize the treatment.
- 02
Treat where pests stage.
Perimeter treatment at the foundation, eave sweep, targeted spot treatments in high-pressure zones. We use the minimum effective product, not the maximum billable volume.
- 03
Seal a gap. Every visit.
This is the part everyone else skips. Copper mesh in weep holes. Silicone around utility penetrations. Fresh caulk where the old stuff failed. It's slower. It's better. And it stays with your house forever.

Report & follow up.
Before we leave: detailed report of what was treated, what was sealed, and what we identified for next visit. See a pest between services? Text us. We come back free.
DFW pest pressure by month.
North Texas has a long pest season, it never stops, although it does slow down during the colder months. But for those who have lived here know how crazy the weather can get. 70 degrees in January? No problem. Our quarterly treatment schedule adjusts to the pest pressures we deal with during that time of year.
When to start: Any time, but new customers who start in January–March typically see the smoothest first summer. Mid-summer starts still work (we just treat a little harder on visit one).

$49 a month on the quarterly plan, with the initial service starting at $149. That initial visit is longer and more thorough than the quarterly ones that follow, which is why it costs more. Nothing is quoted blind; you see the number before you commit.
Four visits a year, scheduled by the Southlake office without you booking each one. On these properties the visits concentrate on the landscape edge and the irrigated beds against the foundation, because that is where the pressure on the building comes from.
Products are placed where pests travel, along the slab line, the bed edges and the entry points, rather than across floors and lawn where children and pets actually are. We give you re-entry times for anything treated rather than a vague reassurance. If you want a particular room or a play area left alone, say so and we will work around it.
The default is a one-year agreement, and we would rather be straight about that than advertise no contract and produce one at signup. Other arrangements exist for people who will not commit to a year, and the office will set them out. Cancelling inside the term has terms attached, which you see in writing beforehand.
You can do a one-time treatment and it will help for a few weeks. What it will not do is hold, because the population outside is unaffected and the routes in stay open. Quarterly works because product life and the turn of the seasons both land at about ninety days, so each visit arrives as the previous one fades rather than long after.
Ring the office and we return at no additional charge. On Southlake properties a between-visit callback often points at an irrigation or planting change rather than a treatment failure, and we would rather find that than reapply over the top of it.
It is the sealing side of the work rather than the spraying side. Gaps smaller than a golf ball and reachable without a ladder get closed as part of the plan, because closing a route beats treating what comes through it. Anything larger, or needing ladder work, carries an additional charge and we tell you before doing it.
General pests and exterior rodent work are in. Termites and mosquitoes are separate. With creek corridors and greenbelt behind many Southlake properties, mosquito service is the one most households here end up adding, and we will say so plainly rather than implying it is covered.
