What we treat

Exterminator Services We Offer in Irving

Rats, Mosquitoes and Termites Across Irving, from Las Colinas to Valley Ranch

Roof rats and Norway rats

Rodent Control in Irving

The School IPM program at Texas A&M reports that rats are wary of anything new, so traps should sit unset for several days, then be placed along runways with the trigger side against a wall and left about a week. It also advises sealing every opening larger than 1/4 inch in foundations, walls, fascia and roofs, since roof rats typically enter from overhanging trees or power lines.

Mosquitoes

Mosquito Control in Irving

Texas DSHS recommends repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, para-menthane-diol or 2-undecanone, long sleeves and trousers, and tight screens. The state agency also stresses removing breeding spots, since eggs can be laid in very little water. Dallas County adds that its larvicides can be bought at retail stores. Ponds, storm drains and bird baths all need cleaning.

Subterranean termites

Termite Treatment in Irving

Termites do their harm out of sight inside walls, trim and framing, and AgriLife stresses that the age of wood damage can almost never be determined. Look for mud tubes on foundation walls, swarmers or wings near lights, and tunnels lined with mud that run with the grain. AgriLife also suggests sealing slab openings around utilities and applying protective finishes to wood exposed to rain.

Cockroaches in kitchens and commercial buildings

Cockroach Control in Irving

AgriLife says American cockroaches are more common in commercial buildings and use floor drains, door gaps and soffits to get in. German roaches arrive with groceries and cardboard boxes, and they breed fastest in warm spots near water and food, about 100 days per generation. Baits work best when food is scarce, and AgriLife suggests changing the active ingredient if numbers do not fall in two to three weeks.

Red imported fire ants

Fire Ant Control in Irving

The Texas fire ant project measures mounds at rarely more than 18 inches wide, with soft soil and no center hole. It states that the ideal bait window is between 65 and 95 degrees, mid-morning or late afternoon. Colonies move indoors in hot, dry spells, and floods push them into any dry, dark space, so new mounds appear after storms. Treating only the visible mounds is less effective than baiting the yard.

Seasonal Pest Control in Irving

  1. Wet spring, May

    May is the wettest month on average. Rain fills containers and clogs drains, so mosquitoes get a head start, and fire ant colonies relocate toward dry spots around slabs. Swarming termites are typically a first sign in early spring, so check windowsills and light fixtures.

  2. Summer, July

    Summer peaks in July, and the 1980 record of 112 degrees still stands. Fire ants nest deeper and forage at cooler times, then push indoors when the soil dries out. Rats and roaches stay active through the heat around kitchens and trash areas, so keep lids closed and drains clear.

  3. Fall bait season to winter cold

    Fall bait goes down from late August through October. January is the coolest month, and the lowest temperature on record is minus 8 degrees from 1899. Cold weather moves roof rats into attics, garages and wall voids, so seal entry points before the first freeze.

Irving Pest Control FAQ

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

How do I keep rats out of my Irving house?

Seal every gap larger than 1/4 inch in foundations, walls, fascia and roofs, add screens to vents and trim branches that touch the roof. Rats are cautious about new objects, so traps work best after sitting out for several days. We start with an exterior walk and find the entry points.

What repellent should I use for Irving mosquitoes?

Texas DSHS says to use an EPA-registered repellent, with ingredients such as DEET, picaridin or IR3535, and to wear long sleeves and pants. Drain standing water and use screens. Yard treatment can help where water cannot be removed. Ask us about it when you request an estimate.

Are termites a risk in Irving?

Yes. Subterranean termites affect all parts of Texas, according to AgriLife, with about $500 million in damage each year. Mud tubes, swarmer wings and mud-lined tunnels in wood are warning signs. Irving's older east side houses and newer slabs both deserve routine checks.

Do you treat cockroaches in Irving hotels and restaurants?

Yes. We serve Irving hotels, restaurants, offices and warehouses. Roaches come in through drains, door gaps and deliveries, so kitchens, floor drains and dock doors are checked first. We use eco-friendly products and can start from a free online estimate request.

What does service cost in Irving?

Plans begin at $57. The final amount depends on the size and condition of the property and the pest involved, and a free estimate is given first. Phone (512) 561-7451 or request one online and tell us if it is rodents, mosquitoes, termites, roaches or ants.

Can I schedule a pest inspection for an Irving home sale?

Yes. Our real estate inspection looks for termite and other pest activity in wood, along slab edges and in the attic. It suits buyers, sellers and agents in Las Colinas, Valley Ranch and the older east side. You can schedule it on our website.

Why do fire ants appear after Irving storms?

Floodwater drives colonies into any dark, dry spot, which can include buildings, and fresh mounds tend to appear once the ground dries. Bait the entire lawn between 65 and 95 degrees, ideally in fall, and treat nuisance mounds near doors. We provide that two-step approach.

Is it worth trimming trees near my Irving roof?

Yes. Texas A&M says roof rats usually get in from overhanging trees or power lines, so a gap between limbs and the roof removes their easiest bridge. Pair trimming with sealing holes. We note branches and entry points during the first visit and recommend fixes.

Irving, Texas

Why Irving Is a Hotspot for Pests

Irving stretches from the office towers of Las Colinas to older bungalow streets, with airport property and freeways in between. Hotels, corporate kitchens, airport property and houses all give pests a reason to settle.

Irving is the 12th most populous city in Texas, with 256,684 residents at the 2020 census, and it covers about 68 square miles at an elevation near 482 feet. Founded in 1903 and incorporated in 1914, it grew from about 357 people in 1920 to roughly 45,000 by the early 1960s. Texas Stadium, once the Dallas Cowboys' home, opened here in 1971.

Las Colinas is a planned community of more than 12,000 acres with many large companies, and Valley Ranch is another master-planned area. The DART Orange Line runs through to the airport, and part of DFW Airport lies inside city limits.

What Makes Irving Different for Pest Control

Planned communities, older streets and airport traffic in Irving

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

  1. Newer areas such as Valley Ranch and Las Colinas have landscaping that overhangs rooflines, and rats climb those branches. Texas A&M's school IPM guidance says roof rats mostly come in from overhanging trees or power lines, so trimming limbs is a quick repair, along with screening vents and sealing gaps larger than a quarter inch.

  2. East Irving has older houses where settling and old plumbing open paths for termites and roaches. On our first visit we look at slab edges, plumbing penetrations, drains and trees, deal with live problems using eco-friendly products and tell you which small repairs come next.
