Houston Pest Control

Comprehensive Protection Against Common Household Pests

We’ve been protecting homes and businesses from pests and other critters since 1969, and our technicians know how to address the challenges you face effectively and efficiently. When you need assistance quickly, we offer emergency services and strive to accommodate same-day scheduling for non-emergencies. Pest and wildlife issues disrupt your routine, so you shouldn’t have to wait for quality service. 

Our team understands Houston’s unique climate and environment, which helps us identify the underlying causes behind recurring pest issues. High humidity and warmth in the region often allow infestations to thrive. By focusing on both immediate treatments and strategies to help prevent future outbreaks, we address problems at their source. We stay current with local regulations and best practices to meet safety and compliance standards for Houston and the surrounding areas.

We prioritize safety without compromising results by using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques. By understanding pest behavior, life cycles, and environmental interactions, IPM combines proven methods to manage infestations safely and efficiently. This balanced approach minimizes risks to people, pets, and the ecosystem while protecting your property.

Personalized Service for Homes and Businesses

We’re proud of our customer-first philosophy. As homeowners ourselves, we know the challenges and stress that come with pest concerns. That’s why we avoid one-size-fits-all solutions and take time to listen to your unique needs. We assess your property in detail, focus on the conditions that led to the infestation, and develop a customized plan to address your specific pest or wildlife problem. Our goal is to earn your trust through reliable service and solutions.

Many properties in Houston encounter issues with fire ants, cockroaches, spiders, and rodents, especially as our region’s warm weather and heavy rainfall create ideal conditions for pests. We continually update our methods to tackle these threats, adapting to seasonal changes and shifts in local pest populations. Our experience in Houston allows us to select an approach that works for each home or business, providing comprehensive pest control service tailored to the environment.

Common Pests in Houston & How We Manage Them

Houston’s climate makes the city a year-round target for certain pests. Species like American cockroaches and fire ants thrive in the humidity and heat. Rodents often seek shelter indoors during storms, while spiders, earwigs, and mosquitoes tend to appear after periods of heavy rainfall. Our approach addresses both persistent and seasonal pests. We recommend solutions based on your property’s specific risk and the needs of the surrounding area, instead of using a one-size-fits-all treatment.

Here are some of the most common problems we see in homes and businesses throughout the area:

  • Ants: Particularly fire ants and carpenter ants, which threaten property and cause painful stings.
  • Cockroaches: Thrive in humid conditions and multiply rapidly.
  • Rodents: Mice and rats often invade buildings for shelter and food, especially during cool months or after storms.
  • Spiders: Common throughout the area, these pests seek dry, hidden spots.
  • Wildlife: Opossums, raccoons, and squirrels frequently enter properties when searching for food or shelter.

If pest activity rises after storms or during warmer seasons, prompt action helps reduce long-term risks and inconvenience. Our focus on prevention and quick response allows property owners to keep their spaces comfortable and pest-free all year long.

Southwest Exterminating aims to make good service simple and convenient. We offer flexible appointment times and are committed to getting the job done right the first time. You deserve peace of mind in your home without ongoing headaches, and that’s why we’re here. The strong reviews we receive from previous customers speak to the quality and thoroughness of our work. 

Call today at (281) 305-0637. We work with homeowners in Houston, Katy, and throughout the surrounding area.
