Commercial pest control in North Texas that doesn't need babysitting.
Monthly service, a local office, and a client portal that logs every visit with reports and invoices on demand. This is commercial pest control North Texas property managers never have to chase, uniformed crews and one office contact included.
"We pick up the phone, run the route, and email you the report. That's the whole vendor relationship."
The facts a vendor packet actually needs. Just the facts.
Many of our commercial customers don't allow us to use their logos in marketing, that's procurement policy, and we respect it. So we'll do this the way good financial firms do it, tell you what's actually true, and let you call references during diligence.

Being a property manager means being the babysitter. Your pest vendor should not add to it.
Stuck between owners, tenants and providers, the premium property managers we work with all want the same thing, one pest provider they never have to chase. Here is what that means in practice.
- 01
A provider who takes proactive action, issues flagged on site before a tenant reports them.
- 02
Written digital reports after every visit, so nobody wonders whether the stations were checked.
- 03
An office that knows the property, so nothing gets re-explained.
- 04
Fast response on a direct line when something surfaces, backed by a client portal with every report on record.
- 05
Service windows that fit the building, docks, kitchens and lobbies included, during business hours.
- 06
A vendor you never have to babysit, because that is the entire point of hiring one.
Forterra is the alternative.
Six property types, known cold.
About 30% of our revenue is commercial. Inside that, this is the breakdown, what we run weekly, what we run monthly, and what we're glad to refer out when it isn't a fit. We tell you upfront either way.
Apartments & HOA properties
Weekly-to-monthly common-area service scaled to the property, weekly for high-pressure properties. Coordinated unit access through your office, not the resident's app.
Office buildings
Class A and Class B properties, lobby, common areas, breakrooms, mechanical rooms, dock and trash enclosures. Early-morning service windows before tenants arrive.
Retail spaces & storefronts
Single-tenant boxes, multi-tenant centers, anchor pads. We service the building shell and exterior, interior is usually a tenant responsibility, but we'll work with whatever your lease structure says.
Warehouses & industrial
Dock perimeters, exterior bait stations, employee break areas. Heavy emphasis on rodent exclusion at loading bays, the dollar leak no one notices until product gets damaged.
Hotels & short-term rentals
Low-profile exterior-led service for guest-facing properties. Uniformed technicians through service entrances on daytime visits; full compliance documentation for AHLA-certified properties.
Restaurants & food service
We take the right ones. We will tell you upfront if your property is outside our scope, high-volume QSR with chronic interior pressure usually needs a specialist, and we'll point you to one.
Tell us the property type and the address. You get a scope and a number back the same business day, in writing.

Same scope of work. Two very different vendor experiences.
We're not going to claim we treat for pests no one else does. The chemistry is largely the same across the industry. What's different is who shows up, how they communicate, and what happens when something doesn't go to plan, which is most of the actual job.
Comparison reflects typical national chain operating models. We're not naming names, we have respect for the trade and a few of those vendors do excellent work in specific verticals.
First call to first visit, fast.
Most commercial accounts go from first phone call to first scheduled service in under a week. Quoting is fast because we already know the building types and we don't subcontract through a national bid desk.
Quoting takes about a week. Often less.
Custom-quoted by property. No tiered packages, no franchise rate sheet.Properties under 50,000 sq ft can typically be quoted from a Google Earth review and one phone call, we know what we're looking at. Larger or unusual properties get an in-person walkthrough first.
- 01
We meet you on the property
Most properties are quoted straight from the call and the form. Restaurants and food service get a 30-minute walkthrough of the exterior, common areas and dock or trash zones first. We document conditions and ask the questions that affect cadence.
- 02
Custom scope & quote in 48 hours
Within two business days you have a written scope covering every service area, the cadence, the chemistry, what's included, what's optional, and the line-item monthly cost.
- 03
Quarter one, establish baseline
We run the property on the agreed cadence for a full quarter. Tech notes, treatment logs, and station maps are documented. You see what we see.
- 04
Month-to-month from there
After Q1, the agreement converts to month-to-month. No auto-renewal. No early-termination fee. You stay because the property is quiet and the reports show up, or you don't.
Monthly commercial service. One line item.
The contract structure looks like everyone else's, monthly visits at a fixed monthly rate. The difference is what's included, what isn't billed back, and how the work actually runs once the contract is signed.
Standard scope
- ✓Monthly on-site service, exterior perimeter, common areas, dock and trash enclosures, mechanical rooms.
- ✓All callbacks & re-treatments, between scheduled visits, no separate ticket, no chargeback.
- ✓Exterior bait stations, installed, mapped, and serviced on the monthly visit. Replacements included.
- ✓Service reports & treatment logs, emailed after every visit. Pest activity logged for compliance audits.
- ✓One office number that answers, and every visit logged to your account history on each report.
- ✓Direct phone & text to the technician and the office, with the client portal keeping every report on record.
Add-on scope
- +Monthly or weekly cadence, for high-pressure or sensitive properties.
- +Termite monitoring, Sentricon stations along the building perimeter.
- +Mosquito reduction, exterior misting or in-season fogging for outdoor common areas.
- +Rodent exclusion, structural sealing of dock bays, utility penetrations, and rooflines. Quoted as a one-time scope.
- +Morning service windows, for tenant-sensitive accounts. Adds to the line item, never surprises.
- +Compliance documentation, for AHLA-certified properties or audit-required accounts.
Custom-quoted by property. One line item, no surprises.
Commercial pricing is too property-specific for a public rate sheet, anyone who shows you one is selling tiers, not service. What we can show you is the structure, the factors that move the number, and what's already inside the line item.
A monthly rate. Monthly visits. Everything inside.
Your contract is written as a fixed monthly rate, billed monthly, with monthly on-property service. Re-treatments, callbacks, and routine bait-station replacements are inside that number. After the first quarter, the agreement converts to month-to-month, no auto-renewal, no early termination fee.

Commercial questions, answered plainly.
If a property is outside our scope, you hear it on the first call, along with a referral to someone who fits. If you don't see your question here, call, a human answers.
The honest difference is structural, not chemical. We do not do long-term contracts. Commercial accounts are month to month with a 30-day notice, from day one. And we are small and local, which means hands-on focus. The owner knows your account, the office answers directly, and re-treatments between visits are inside the monthly rate.
Sometimes, and you hear it on the first call. We are not a fit for restaurants needing night or weekend service, since food-service work runs in morning windows during business hours, and not a fit for operators who let sanitation slide, because no provider can clear a kitchen without it. Everyone else starts with a walkthrough or a remote quote.
Our service area is the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Southlake, Dallas, and Aubrey are our three offices, and we cover roughly a 60-mile radius around them. We don't take properties outside that radius because we can't run them on the same-week service standard we promise. If you have a portfolio that crosses markets, we can be your DFW vendor and refer you to operators we trust in adjacent markets.
Service is monthly at the agreed rate, and the agreement is month to month from day one. No auto-renewal. No early-termination fee. You give us 30 days notice if you want to end service. We don't lock people into 12- or 24-month contracts because we've never had to, properties stay because the work is good, not because the paperwork makes leaving expensive.
If you want a single point of contact, we can set that up. By default the office handles the account. Texts go through, calls get answered, and the account knowledge stays at the office rather than with one person. The owner, David Dance, is in DFW and is reachable. Your client portal keeps service history, reports and invoices on demand whenever you need them.
Yes. Texas Pest Control License #850046, $2M general liability, workers' compensation, auto liability on every truck, and a $5M umbrella policy for the strictest vendor requirements. Certificate of Insurance available on request, with your property listed as an additional insured if your lease structure requires it. We're a BOMA member and familiar with the typical property-management vendor compliance packet.
We route to either model. The default is that service requests come through your management office and we communicate with the property manager, not tenants. Larger multifamily and HOA properties can have us field tenant calls directly, routed through your office for approval. The choice is yours, and the routing stays consistent across visits.
No. Our technicians arrive in uniform, in branded trucks, always identifiable to your staff and tenants, that is a feature, not a bug. What we do run is low-profile scheduling, service entrances by default, agreed time windows, and work that never interrupts a guest experience.
Commercial service, city by city.
Commercial coverage mapped city by city, naming the office behind each account.
Commercial routes across six counties.
Property portfolios rarely sit in one city. Commercial crews run from all three offices, so multi-site accounts keep one standard everywhere.
