Precision Pest Control covers homes across Garland, including plenty that back straight up to the Duck Creek Greenbelt or sit within a few blocks of Lake Ray Hubbard. Properties near Spring Creek Forest Preserve and the wooded creek corridors on the north side deal with a different set of visitors than a house out near Firewheel. We treat each one according to what's actually living nearby.


Raccoons denning in attics and chimneys are a real problem for homes that back up to Duck Creek Greenbelt or the tree line along Spring Creek Forest Preserve, and snakes follow those same creek corridors right into yards and garages. We also handle wasps and bees nesting under eaves near wooded lots, ants working their way in from mulch beds and tree roots, and silverfish in older homes with humid crawl spaces. Rodents move in wherever a greenbelt borders a fence line, and fleas usually ride in on the wildlife before anyone notices a bite.
Garland sits right up against a string of green spaces that keep wildlife closer to backyards than most people realize. Duck Creek Greenbelt cuts through the middle of the city, Spring Creek Forest Preserve holds one of the last stretches of mature hardwood forest in this part of Dallas County, and Lake Ray Hubbard forms the eastern edge of town. Subdivisions built right up to those tree lines and creek banks put raccoons, snakes and wasps within a fence line of a house rather than somewhere out in the county.
Raccoons follow the creek corridors in from Spring Creek and Duck Creek looking for an easy attic or chimney to den in, especially once cooler weather starts in fall. Snakes move along the same greenbelts and drainage channels, and they turn up in garages and under decks more often on lots that border undeveloped land. Wasps and bees build nests under eaves and in tree hollows near any wooded lot, and ants and rodents follow the tree cover right up to the foundation. None of that is unique to one neighborhood, but it shows up hardest on the properties closest to Garland's remaining woods and water.
