Houston Heights Pest Control

Although a large portion of the Heights has been renovated, many older homes and businesses are prone to infestations. As structures age, more cracks and openings form that allow insects and animals to creep their way in. Add that to the plethora of restaurants in the Heights with scrap-filled dumpsters and you’re bound to have little critters loitering in the area and ultimately infiltrating your home. In addition, Houston itself is literally a hotbed for insects, like termites and mosquitoes, because of its subtropical climate. The weather makes it ideal for them to breed and thrive. Be prepared with one of the leading pest control companies in the Heights: John Moore.

If you think you have a termite problem, it may be difficult to diagnose. Some termites, like the formosan termite and subterranean termites, will leave behind clues like dirt tunnels or tracks around your home. But then there’s drywood termites that are pretty much undetectable. The good news is that John Moore provides free termite inspections in the Heights. Because there are three types of termites that are prevalent in the area, we will need to determine the type before formulating a termite treatment plan for you. This information along with the location of the termites, the age of your home, and the layout of your home will help us come up with the best termite treatment plan for you.

All the termiticides we use have been cleared by the FDA and deemed safe for use around kids and pets. We may also use a wood treatment on exposed, infested areas of wood in your home to kill off termites. When used with liquid or foam termiticides, this wood treatment has proven to be effective at exterminating termites. Whatever strategy we choose for your home, we will keep you informed every step of the way.

With low-lying land in the Heights, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that mosquitoes feel at home here. Anywhere that water is able to collect and stand provides the ideal grounds for  mosquitoes to breed. This can make the outside of your home uninhabitable. Outdoor gatherings, yard work, or doing anything in your yard becomes a nightmare when your ankles are getting bit by mosquitoes. Besides ruining the comfort of your own home, families also have to worry about exposure to diseases such as West Nile or Zika Virus.
