Pest control in Aubrey, TX → How we work in homes with pets and kids
Pest control built around who actually lives there.
Dogs that patrol the fence line, cats that inspect every corner, kids underfoot. That is who we plan each treatment around, and it changes what we use, where we put it, and what we tell you.
Stage 01
01
Choose products
EPA-registered products, selected for homes with animals.
Everything we apply is EPA-registered for residential use, and within that set we choose formulations and concentrations suited to homes with pets and children. Baits are the workhorses because they target pest biology in tiny amounts, placed where only pests go.
Stage 02
02
Place carefully
Out of reach is the placement rule, always.
Bait stations are locked and anchored. Crack-and-crevice work goes inside the gaps, not on open surfaces. Exterior treatment favors the harborage zones over play areas, and anything a nose or a small hand could reach is simply not where we put product.
Stage 03
03
Tell you everything
You get the what, where and when after every visit.
Every visit ends with a written summary of which products were used, where they went, and the dry times, typically 15 to 30 minutes by weather and location. Questions about a specific pet, a reptile, a rabbit, a koi pond, get a specific answer.
Household by household
The same visit, adjusted for who's home.
Tell us who lives there and the treatment plan adjusts before we arrive. Here is what actually changes, animal by animal.
01
Dogs
Yard treatments favor the harborage zones over the open lawn dogs patrol, dry times are called out explicitly, and bait stations go outside patrol routes, locked and anchored against determined jaws and noses.
The adjustments Zone-first yard work · locked stations · written dry times
02
Cats
Cats reach places dogs never will, so interior work leans on crevice placements and enclosed baits in voids cats cannot enter. Counters and cat-tree zones stay product-free, full stop.
The adjustments Void placements · no open surfaces · climb zones respected
03
Birds & small pets
Birds are the sensitive ones, so their rooms are scheduled around, covered or temporarily relocated during interior work, with airflow planned before anything is applied nearby. Cage rooms get the most conservative plan in the book.
The adjustments Room scheduling · coverage planning · most conservative products
04
Fish & reptiles
Aquariums and terrariums get covered and their air pumps paused for interior work in the same room, then restarted at the all-clear. Tanks are noted on the service record so every future technician plans around them by default.

A visit with pets at home
How a pet-household visit runs, step by step.
The first step is the only one with a fee at risk, and it's free. Everything below it is optional, you'll have a written quote in 24 hours and decide from there.
- 01
Tell us who lives there
Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, aquariums, chickens. The household roster shapes the treatment plan before we arrive. Birds and aquariums get special handling on the visits that need it, mainly interior flea work, with a written prep sheet ahead of time.
- 02
Transparent plan
The products, the placements and the final price, written down before any work starts, with the pet-specific notes built into the plan rather than improvised on your porch.
- 03
Treat around the household
Pets rest inside or away from work zones during application, exterior-first sequencing where possible, and locked stations wherever bait earns its place.
- 04
Clear all-clear
Dry time typically runs 15 to 30 minutes, weather and location depending, with interior treatments taking longer than exterior. You get the all-clear in writing, the full product list on request, and free re-service if pests return between visits.
Frequently asked
Questions, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 665-6527 or text us, a human will answer.
For most visits, just keep pets off treated areas until dry, typically 15 to 30 minutes, with interior drying slower than exterior, and we tell you exactly which areas and how long. Exterior-first treatment is the point of the program. Birds and aquariums need covering only when a visit calls for it, and interior flea jobs come with a written prep sheet in advance.
EPA-registered residential products, leaning heavily on enclosed baits and crack-and-crevice placements that pets never contact. You receive the exact product list for your home after every visit, and your technician will walk through any label with you. Specific concerns about a specific animal get specific answers.
Stations are locked, tamper-resistant and anchored in place, built so that paws, jaws and small hands cannot get to the contents, and we place them out of patrol routes on top of that. Inside living spaces we favor traps and crevice placements over bait entirely. Tell us about the everything-eater and we plan for him by name.
No. It is the same Zero Gap program with placement and product discipline turned up, and sealing does most of the work in any case. Pests that never get in never need treating inside. Homes with pets get the same guarantee as every other home, re-service free between visits.
The same as our standard service, from $49 monthly at standard home size on the quarterly plan, because working around your household is how we operate, not an upcharge. Tell us the household roster when you book; the technician confirms any animal-specific planning on arrival, and a written prep sheet goes out before any treatment that needs one.
