Precision Pest Control works homes, duplexes, and rental units across Abilene, from properties near Abilene Christian University and Hardin-Simmons to established neighborhoods further from campus. Many of the calls we get follow a lease turnover or a move, when boxes and furniture bring more than students expect. We treat the property, not just the room where something got spotted.


In Abilene we see cockroaches show up wherever an apartment or duplex backs onto another unit, since one infestation rarely stays contained to a single address. Rodents move indoors as the weather turns, working along baseboards and utility lines into older housing stock near downtown. Wasps and bees build under eaves and porch roofs through the summer heat, and silverfish and earwigs turn up in bathrooms and laundry rooms where humidity collects. Bats roost in attic gaps on older homes, and opossums work through unsecured trash and pet food left on porches overnight. We treat each of these differently, not with one generic spray.
Abilene Christian University, Hardin-Simmons University, and McMurry University all send move-in waves through the same few months, and that timing matters more than most landlords realize. A dorm room or a shared house near campus holds several tenants' belongings under one roof, so when a student arrives with roaches in a mattress or bed bugs riding in a duffel bag, the problem spreads to the next room before anyone notices. We inspect baseboards, bed frames, and shared laundry areas at turnover, not after a tenant complains, because catching it during the gap between leases costs far less than treating four occupied units in December.
The rental stock around these three schools ranges from older houses cut into apartments to newer complexes built for student volume, and each type hides pests differently. A house split into units has gaps under old trim and shared crawl spaces that let cockroaches travel between addresses. A newer complex with tighter construction still moves pests through shared walls and stairwells during the August and January turnover crunch. We coordinate with property managers on inspection timing around the academic calendar, treat vacant units before the next tenant moves boxes in, and follow up during the semester rather than waiting for a callback.
