Zero Gap System
Overview What is Forterra's preventative pest control?
Forterra Preventative Pest Control is the Zero Gap System on a schedule, entry points found and sealed, gaps smaller than a golf ball and reachable without a ladder covered as part of the plan from $49/month, and the perimeter maintained quarterly so pests never establish. Larger openings or ladder work are quoted separately in writing. The entry-point audit repeats as the property changes, so the seal list never goes stale. Money-back guarantee, TPCL #850046.

Pest control in Aubrey, TX → The Zero Gap philosophy
Prevention means the pests never make it inside.
Most pest control is a reaction to something you already saw. Prevention works the other way, seal the routes, hold a treated perimeter, and keep the pressure outside where it belongs.
Stage 01
01
Seal first
The Zero Gap System closes the routes before anything walks them.
Every home gets the entry-point audit, weep holes, door thresholds, utility penetrations, garage seals, soffit gaps. Most pest guys spray and leave the doors open. We seal off, then spray, which is why the name is on the system.
Stage 02
02
Hold the barrier
A maintained perimeter beats an emergency call every time.
The exterior barrier gets renewed every quarter, timed to the season's pressure. Consistent, boring, effective. The colonies that would have become your infestation break against the perimeter instead, where you never see them.
Stage 03
03
Watch the yard
Harborage and moisture invite pests. We flag both.
Every visit notes what is changing on your property, mulch creeping against the foundation, a new leak, firewood on the slab, gutters feeding a damp wall. You get the list in writing, because half of prevention is the conditions, not the chemicals.
What the barrier is up against
The pressure calendar, what's testing your house each month.
A DFW home is under some kind of pest pressure every month of the year. This is the schedule the barrier absorbs, so your kitchen never has to.

Frequently asked
Questions, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 665-6527 or text us, a human will answer.
Because the cheapest infestation is the one that never establishes. A German roach cleanout, a rodent exclusion or a carpenter ant job each cost multiples of a year of prevention, and that is before the drywall, wiring or food you throw away. Prevention is the boring, cheaper timeline.
Same engine, different emphasis. The quarterly plan is the delivery vehicle; the preventative program is what we do with it. The Zero Gap sealing work up front, the entry-point audit, and the property-condition notes each visit. If you start with no active problem, this is the version of the plan you are buying.
Our rule that sealing comes before spraying. Pests enter through gaps, weep holes, thresholds, utility penetrations, so we close the routes with materials pests cannot chew, then maintain the treated perimeter. Most companies skip the first half because it takes longer. It is also why our results hold.
It stacks the odds heavily. The conditions we correct, moisture against the slab, wood-to-ground contact, open weep holes, are exactly what invites termites and rodents. For full termite protection we add Sentricon monitoring, and for rodent-prone homes the exclusion work goes further; both are quoted plainly if your home needs them.
Most DFW homes pay the standard quarterly rate of $49 a month, and the entry-point audit comes performed on the initial service. Homes needing significant up-front sealing get that work itemized separately, in writing, so you decide with the numbers in front of you.
