What we treat

Exterminator Services We Offer in Carrollton

Cockroaches, Termites and Mosquitoes in Carrollton's Dense Neighborhoods and Business Parks

American cockroaches

Cockroach Control in Carrollton

The largest cockroach in Texas, according to AgriLife, grows to about two inches and can fly. It is common in commercial buildings and sewer systems, which fits a city with so many restaurants and warehouses. The extension says to keep floor drain P-traps filled with water, check the seals under doors and screen roof soffits, steps that shut down its main routes inside.

Subterranean termites

Subterranean Termite Control in Carrollton

Termites eat roughly $500 million worth of Texas property in a typical year, per AgriLife, and the eastern species is present across the state. The agency lists earthen tubes on foundation walls, pier supports and utility openings as the sign to look for. It suggests sealing openings where plumbing enters the slab and cutting back shrubs so the wall can be inspected.

Southern house mosquitoes

Mosquito Control in Carrollton

Dallas County's health department blames the southern house mosquito for West Nile transmission, and part of Carrollton lies in that county. Larvae develop in pots, kiddie pools, bird baths, ponds, discarded tires, gutters and drains, plus low yard spots that hold water. Treatable larvicide is an option where water can't be emptied, and the county urges DEET, long sleeves and avoiding dusk and dawn.

Red imported fire ants

Fire Ant Control in Carrollton

A fire ant mound is a heap of loose soil, seldom wider than 18 inches, with no visible entrance hole, according to the Texas fire ant program. Heavy rain flushes colonies toward dry indoor corners, and drought draws them to utility rooms and bathrooms. The program says baiting works with temperatures from 65 to 95 degrees and not in cool spring weather.

Roof rats

Rodent Control in Carrollton

Texas A&M's city bugs writers note that a roof rat can slip through a coin-sized hole or a half-inch gap beneath a door. Garage door edges, roof vents, siding bottoms and crawl space openings are the places to inspect first. Droppings show where to place traps, and the same article warns that poison baits can leave dead rats in walls that smell and draw flies.

Pest control treatment in Carrollton, TX

Seasonal Pest Control in Carrollton

  1. Spring rains, April and May

    May is the wettest month on average, and moisture along slabs and under shrubs draws termites. AgriLife says swarmers usually appear from early spring into early summer, so spot shed wings on sills and around lights, then call before the colony grows.

  2. Summer heat, June to September

    Hot, dry stretches pull ants and roaches toward kitchens, laundry areas and water heaters. Meanwhile mosquitoes keep multiplying in buckets, planters and clogged gutters, and Dallas County reminds residents to drain standing water and use repellent.

  3. Late fall and winter

    Cold snaps are brief, and the record low of 1 degree in 1989 stands out as an exception. Rodents still move into attics and garages when nights cool, and German cockroaches stay active indoors, since AgriLife says they live only inside Texas buildings.

Carrollton Pest Control FAQ

Looking for pest control near you in Carrollton? Call (512) 561-7451 or request a free estimate.

Are there big roaches in Carrollton homes?

Yes, usually American cockroaches. AgriLife says they grow to about two inches and live in sewers and commercial buildings. They enter through floor drains, worn door seals and roof soffits. Keep drain traps full, repair weatherstripping and call for treatment if you see them in daylight.

How can I tell if Carrollton termites are active?

Look for mud-like tubes on foundation walls, piers or utility openings, plus wings shed on windowsills. AgriLife says swarmers inside a home usually mean an active infestation. Break a tube open and check for live insects, or request an inspection so a technician can look for you.

Is West Nile virus something to watch for in Carrollton?

It can be. Dallas County says southern house mosquitoes that carry West Nile are very active locally. Drain pots, tires and gutters, wear light long clothing, use repellent and stay in during dusk and dawn. Texas DSHS adds that about 80 percent of infected people never get sick.

What attracts fire ants to my Carrollton yard?

Warm soil, open lawn and moisture do it. The Texas fire ant program says colonies move into shelter after floods and toward water during drought. Large mounds of loose soil without an opening are the giveaway. We combine yard-wide bait with treatment of mounds that keep returning.

How much is pest control in Carrollton?

Our plans start at $57, and the exact amount depends on your property and what is bothering you. Every job begins with a free estimate. The number is (512) 561-7451, or use the estimate request on our website, and mention whether it is a house, apartment or business.

Do you inspect Carrollton homes for termites before closing?

Yes, termite and pest inspections for Carrollton home sales are part of our service. The report covers wood, foundation lines, attic spaces and any sign of rodents or roaches, so buyers, sellers and agents can discuss repairs with the same facts. Use our online scheduling to book.

Do you treat pests at a Carrollton restaurant or warehouse?

Yes. We serve restaurants, offices, retail strips and warehouses around the city. Drains, grease areas, dock doors and dumpsters are the first stops, since roaches and rats gather there. Products are eco-friendly, and the website has a form for a free estimate.

How do I stop rats from getting into my Carrollton garage?

Start with gaps beside the garage door, roof vents and crawl space openings, since roof rats can pass through a half-inch gap. Texas A&M recommends sealing with steel wool or cement, then using snap traps near droppings. Scratching in the ceiling means rodents are already in.

Carrollton, Texas

Why Carrollton Is a Hotspot for Pests

Carrollton is entirely urban, so insects and rodents find food and shelter in the same houses, shopping strips and drainage lines that people use. Humid subtropical weather keeps them active for most of the year.

Carrollton is home to 133,434 people according to the 2020 census, spread across 37 square miles at an elevation of 482 feet. The city lies in parts of three counties, Dallas, Denton and Collin, and DFW International Airport is about 5 miles to the southwest. Interstate 35E, the President George Bush Turnpike and the DART Green Line all cross it.

The city is entirely urban, and the water that does exist, such as Josey Ranch Lake, sits inside neighborhoods. July is the warmest month, and May brings the most rain on average. Heat, rain and a dense layer of buildings and storm drains make steady conditions for roaches, ants, mosquitoes and wood-eating insects.

What Makes Carrollton Different for Pest Control

Drains, door seals and shrubs around Carrollton homes

Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Carrollton details that shape every plan we write here.

  1. Because Carrollton is built out wall to wall, pests move easily between homes, yards and shopping strips. AgriLife advises trimming vegetation away from exterior walls so inspections are easy, and sealing gaps where pipes, wires and utilities pass through the foundation or siding.

  2. When we visit, we check drains, door sweeps, soffits, irrigation near the slab and any limbs touching the roof. Active problems get eco-friendly treatment, and you leave with a short list of fixes such as caulk, screens or downspout extensions that make your home harder for pests to use.
