What we treat
Termites, Fire Ants and Mosquitoes Across Grand Prairie's Creeks and Subdivisions
Subterranean termites
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension estimates termites cost Texas about $500 million a year and wants every house checked at least annually. Look for mud tubes on slabs and walls, shed wings on sills and damage tucked behind trim. Colonies get in through wood touching soil, cracks in the foundation and utility openings, so keep the dirt line well under the top edge of the foundation.
Red imported fire ants
According to the Texas fire ant program, mounds seldom top 18 inches across, and in drought the ants head indoors toward damp spots such as laundry piles, bathrooms and the area around a water heater. Its two-step approach is bait spread across the lawn one or two times yearly, then individual treatment of nuisance mounds, which it says reduces mound counts 80 to 90 percent.
American cockroaches
AgriLife calls the American cockroach the biggest Texas species, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in length and able to fly. It enters through weak door seals, roof soffits and floor drains. The extension's advice: keep drain P-traps full of water, caulk around sinks and pipes, and place bait close to hiding spots, because sprays and foggers are less effective.
Mosquitoes and West Nile virus
Texas DSHS says about 80 percent of people infected with West Nile virus never feel sick, but roughly 1 in 150 develop severe illness in the brain or spinal cord. No human vaccine exists, and the department calls avoiding bites the best protection. Warmer parts of Texas can see risk all year, which matters in a city with so much water.
Roof rats
A Texas A&M city bugs article reports that a roof rat can slip under a door through a gap half an inch tall. Garage door gaps, roof vents, flashing and spaces under siding are typical doorways. Scratching overhead and droppings give them away, and chewed wiring may start a fire. Cement, low-expansion foam and steel wool are the recommended plugs.
Spotted something?
AgriLife says termite swarms peak in spring and early summer around the state. Wings on a window sill or beneath an indoor light point to a colony close by. Fire ant bait is a poor bet this early if the air is under 65 degrees, since foraging workers will not carry it home.
When dry heat bakes the soil, fire ants come inside looking for water, and the program suggests baiting in late afternoon or evening instead of treating single mounds. Mosquitoes keep breeding in anything that holds water, from clogged gutters to plant saucers.
For yard-wide bait the extension favors late August into October, which keeps colonies in check through winter. Cooler nights also nudge roaches and rats toward garages, attics and wall voids, making this a smart moment to seal gaps.
Describe it on the phone and we will tell you what it likely is and how we would treat it. Estimates are free.

Yes. AgriLife treats subterranean termites as a statewide problem, with losses near $500 million yearly. Damage often hides behind siding or trim, so look for mud tubes, wings by windows and soft wood. A professional inspection makes sense, and it is close to essential before you buy an older home.
The fire ant program recommends spreading bait over the entire lawn once or twice a year and then dealing with leftover mounds one at a time. Bait performs best between roughly 65 and 95 degrees, with late August to October preferred. Treating only visible mounds tends to leave colonies behind.
Big roaches are usually American cockroaches, which grow to 1 1/2 to 2 inches and live in sewers and drains. They come through floor drains, door gaps and soffits. Spotting one in daylight often signals a large population nearby. Keep traps filled with water, seal gaps and ask for a free estimate.
It can be. Texas DSHS says the virus spreads by mosquito bite, that about 1 in 150 infections becomes severe and that no human vaccine exists. Empty standing water weekly, fix screens, use repellent and stay in at dusk. A yard mosquito treatment can reduce the number of biters.
Plans start at $57, and the total reflects lot size, building size and which pests are present. We give a free estimate up front, so no price comes as a surprise. The line is (512) 561-7451, or ask through our website and name the pest bothering you.
Yes. We inspect for real estate sales, covering wood damage, foundation lines and signs of rodents or insects. Everyone involved receives the same findings. Schedule online and mention your closing date so the report is ready on time.
Yes. Restaurants, warehouses, offices and retail space in the city are all covered. Floor drains, dumpsters, loading doors and break rooms get the closest look since roaches, rats and ants settle there. Eco-friendly products go on every job, and the free estimate is a request away on our website.
Close every hole larger than a quarter, because roof rats fit through gaps about half an inch wide. Texas A&M suggests cement, low-expansion foam and steel wool, with snap traps checked daily. Footsteps overhead or droppings show rats are inside already, so our rodent work starts with finding the entries.
Grand Prairie covers about 81 square miles that border Arlington, Fort Worth, Irving, Dallas and Mansfield, while Johnson Creek and the Trinity's West Fork cross it. Wet ground, hot summers and dense housing keep several pests busy all year.
Grand Prairie had 196,100 residents at the 2020 census and sits mostly in Dallas County, with sections reaching into Tarrant and Ellis counties. The city stands about 528 feet above sea level, and with roughly 8.9 square miles of water plus the West Fork of the Trinity and Johnson Creek, damp soil is never far from a foundation.
The weather adds pressure. July highs average about 95.5 degrees and rainfall totals about 37 inches a year. The 2020 census counted 68,284 housing units, spanning downtown houses, rental apartments and newer master-planned growth like Goodland, and each type hands termites, ants, roaches and mosquitoes a different way in.
Local field notes
What our technicians check first on a Grand Prairie property
Unique to Grand Prairie
Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Grand Prairie details that shape every plan we write here.
Low ground that collects moisture makes grading important here. Extension advice is to slope soil away from the house, keep wood off the dirt and close the gaps where pipes and utilities cross the slab. Sprinklers aimed at a wall can also draw foraging termites to the foundation.
Rentals and commercial buildings add complexity, because many people share one structure. On the first visit we note where moisture, gaps and clutter are helping pests, deal with active pests using eco-friendly materials, and hand you a short repair list: downspout extensions, door sweeps, trimmed branches.
