Pest control in Houston is moisture with legs. Formosan and other subterranean termites work damp soil and the wood that touches it, including pier elements, form boards left in slabs, and mulch piled on the brick. Mosquitoes explode after flood rain in toys, gutters, and low yards. American roaches move up from sewers when water rises. Fire ants take the lawn. The pressure does not pause for a dry week, because a dry week is rare.
Name the creature and the water. Wings on a sill in a humid spring are a termite conversation. Roaches in the kitchen after the street flooded are a sewer and entry conversation. Mosquitoes in the evening mean standing water you can see if you walk the lot. Rats near a bayou or in an attic after a storm tore the soffit need the hole closed, not only a bait tossed in the garage. Say what changed when the weather changed.
Ask the visit to look at structure. Termite mud, a swollen sill, and soft trim at a wet window are evidence. So is a crawl space or a bath trap that stays damp because the soil never dries. Spraying baseboards and leaving the mulch against the brick will not change the harbor. If wind opened the eave, the pest work and the roof work touch, but they are separate trades. Point at the gap you can already see.
Recurring service fits a coast without an off-season. One panicked treatment after a hatch of mosquitoes does not answer a colony in the soil. Ask how often the exterior is walked, what is checked for termites, and whether rodents are included. Tell the truth about stored boxes, a damp garage, and irrigation that keeps the foundation bed wet. Bait and dust have to stay away from kids and pets. Say that up front so the plan matches the house.
Describe what you saw: wings, mounds, roaches, bites at dusk, or droppings in the attic. Give the address and say whether water stood under the house or against the slab. Mention a torn soffit if a storm made the entry. Ask what will be closed and what will be treated. Call the number on this page.
