What we treat

Exterminator Services We Offer in Conroe

Termites, Crazy Ants and Roaches Between the Piney Woods and Lake Conroe

Subterranean termites

Subterranean Termite Control in Conroe

AgriLife Extension calls termites the most destructive wood pests in the world, and puts the odds of damage within 25 years at roughly 70 percent for an unprotected Texas house. Foragers stay close to the surface, mostly in the top few inches of soil, feeding on fallen wood, and move into buildings through wood touching the ground or shelter tubes over cracks. Native swarmers fly in spring and early summer.

Tawny crazy ants

Crazy Ant Control in Conroe

Montgomery County is on Texas A&M's list of counties with confirmed tawny crazy ants. The reddish-brown workers, about 1/8 inch long, travel in loose, erratic trails, nest under moisture-holding objects and build no mound. They gather in electrical equipment and cause short circuits. Most baits do not attract them, so extension entomologists suggest combining bait with contact insecticides.

Smokybrown and American cockroaches

Cockroach Control in Conroe

The smokybrown cockroach favors tree holes, palm fronds, soffits, attic eaves, mulch and other ground cover, which suits a wooded city. The American roach, up to 2 inches, lives in sewers and, like the smokybrown, often comes in through floor drains. German cockroaches stay indoors for life, and they are the ones that infest kitchens. Seal gaps and keep floor drains wet.

Red imported fire ants

Fire Ant Control in Conroe

A single colony averages 100,000 to 500,000 workers, and on pasture with several queens, an acre can hold about 40 million ants. Mating flights follow rain, mostly in spring and fall. With the San Jacinto watershed so near, floods matter: flooding forces colonies out, and they float until they reach land and can start a new mound hundreds of feet away.

Floodwater, Aedes and Culex mosquitoes

Mosquito Control in Conroe

Texas A&M entomologists name three groups: floodwater mosquitoes, which hatch right after rain; container breeders such as Aedes in old tires, buckets and gutters; and Culex in stagnant water and storm drains. After each storm, tip out whatever has collected water around the yard. Repellents with DEET, picaridin or lemon eucalyptus oil help outdoors, and long sleeves add protection.

Norway and roof rats

Rodent Control in Conroe

Norway rats burrow under foundations and rubbish piles, while roof rats nest high in attics and double walls. Both chew wiring, and AgriLife warns of fire risk and of diseases spread through droppings. Store materials 18 inches off the ground and remove food and water. Snap traps, set along walls where droppings or runways show, work for light infestations.

Pest control treatment in Conroe, TX

Seasonal Pest Control in Conroe

  1. Spring, March to May

    Termite swarmers emerge, fire ants fly after wet afternoons, and wasp queens start nests. The lake area and wooded lots stay damp, so crazy ants and roaches move toward kitchens. A good time to check where the soil sits against the slab.

  2. Summer, June to September

    Hot, humid weather keeps mosquitoes and roaches active. Floodwater mosquitoes appear after storms, and Culex builds in storm drains once the water goes stagnant. Wasp nests are at full size, so check eaves, sheds and garages before using the patio.

  3. Fall and winter, October to February

    Fire ants take wing again after autumn rain, and Norway rat litters come mostly in spring and fall. Roof rats breed most in winter, which can send them into attics. Mild winters mean pests slow but do not leave.

Conroe Pest Control FAQ

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

Are there tawny crazy ants in Conroe?

Montgomery County is among the Texas counties where Texas A&M has confirmed them. They are small, reddish-brown ants that wander erratically, nest under damp objects and crowd into electrical equipment. Most baits do not attract them, so they usually call for more than a store-bought bait.

How serious are termites around Conroe?

Quite serious. Extension specialists rate the chance that an unprotected Texas home suffers termite damage in 25 years at roughly 70 percent. A wooded lot, damp ground and wood against the soil raise the risk. Mud tubes on the foundation or discarded wings by a window are warning signs.

What kills big roaches coming up the drains in Conroe?

Start by keeping floor drains filled with water, since American and smokybrown cockroaches enter through them. Mulch, palm fronds and tree holes outside also shelter them, so trimming and clearing help. Identification matters because the small German roach lives only indoors.

What do pest plans cost in Conroe?

Plans start at $57 in Conroe. A small house downtown and a large lot by the lake need different work, so a free estimate comes first and the plan fits the property and its pests. Once you see the plan and price, you decide whether to book a visit.

Does Precision Pest Control serve Conroe businesses?

Yes. We handle restaurants, offices, shops, warehouses and apartment properties alongside houses. Food, drains and outdoor storage invite roaches and rodents, so the walkthrough takes in the building and its grounds. Ask for the free estimate and describe what you have noticed in the space.

Can I get a termite inspection before closing in Conroe?

Yes. Wood damage is hard to date, AgriLife notes, so a written inspection helps both sides of a sale. For a Conroe closing, our termite and pest inspection leaves the buyer, the seller and the agents with the same record to refer back to.

Are your treatments safe near Lake Conroe?

Our products are eco-friendly. If your property touches the lake or the river, or you have pets and a garden, tell us when you ask for the estimate and the plan will take it into account. Mosquito and roach problems often begin outdoors, so the yard is part of the conversation.

Conroe, Texas

Why Conroe Is a Hotspot for Pests

Conroe is about 205 feet above sea level and receives roughly 51 inches of rain a year. Pines, a large lake and a river watershed keep the ground damp for termites, ants, roaches and mosquitoes.

Conroe is the county seat of Montgomery County, about 40 miles north of Houston, and counted 89,956 residents in the 2020 census. It stands 205 feet above sea level in the southwest corner of the East Texas Piney Woods. The West Fork of the San Jacinto River runs along its western edge, and the whole city lies within that watershed.

Lake Conroe, a 19,640-acre reservoir created by a dam in 1973, lies northwest of downtown, and W. Goodrich Jones State Forest is nearby. Isaac Conroe opened a sawmill here in 1881, the city was incorporated in 1904, and the Conroe Oil Field was discovered in 1931. Neighborhoods such as April Sound and McDade Estates show how homes now spread along the lake and the river.

What Makes Conroe Different for Pest Control

Pine lots, lake moisture and slab foundations in Conroe

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

  1. Homes in a pine-woods setting give termites plenty of dead wood nearby. Texas A&M advises removing stumps, vines and grade stakes, pruning shrubs away from walls and leaving a gap of several inches between soil and the top of the foundation. Fix gutters and roof leaks promptly because damp wood is easier for termites to enter.

  2. Near the lake or the river, check low spots and drainage for standing water after storms, and clear buckets, gutters and boat covers that collect rain. Seal gaps around pipes and utility lines, keep mulch away from siding, and store lumber off the ground so rodents and roaches have less shelter.
