Sherwood Forest Pest Control

The Importance of Pest Control in Sherwood Forest

Sherwood Forest lies in the thick of Houston, a dense urban area with homes and businesses filled with all kinds of treats that attract pests. Top that with Houston’s subtropical climate and lots of water and you’ll find everything from roaches and ants to mice and wildlife animals knocking at your door. Well, they won’t be knocking, they just let themselves in. Pests are able to creep in your home through holes, cracks, and crevices, which need to be sealed off. These insects, rodents, and animals not only eat your food and dirty up your home, but they can also carry life-threatening diseases such as staphylococcus and Hantavirus pulmonary fever. So if you do have pests in your home, it’s important to call a pest control specialist that knows about local pest control problems and how to handle them. With John Moore, you’ll be backed by two decades of specialized expertise in pests that are commonly found in Sherwood Forest homes.

Safe, Effective Termite Treatment in Sherwood Forest

Concerned about termites destroying your home? If you live anywhere in Houston, like Sherwood Forest, you have to be concerned and proactive about termite activity in your home. Termites are prevalent in the Houston area with more than three types of termites causing damage to homes and structures. The three main types of termites we find are drywood termites, formosan termites, and subterranean termites. The problem with termite control is that most homeowners don’t know they have a termite problem until they’ve already significantly damaged the structural wood beams of their home. By seeking help from a professional termite company like John Moore, we can help you detect a termite problem early on and deliver solutions to permanently get rid of them.

What’s great is that John Moore offers free termite inspections, so you can have your home checked every year, which is highly recommended for humid areas like Sherwood Forest. If we find signs of termites in your home, we’ll create a treatment plan based on the type of termites we find, where they were found, and the age and layout of your home. We will also recommend a continuous protection plan to prevent termites from starting new colonies in and around your home. And for your peace of mind, our wood and termiticide treatments have been cleared by the EPA as safe for use around children and pets.

Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal in Sherwood Forest

Eliminating mice, rats, and other rodents from your home for good requires more than setting up snap traps in your cabinets and attic. To remove them permanently and safely from your home, you may need the help of an experienced pest control specialist, like John Moore. With 20 years delivering pest control services in Sherwood Forest, we know how mice, rats, and different wildlife breed and where they hide in homes. Most importantly, we know how to safely get rid of them and prevent future infestations.

John Moore’s rodent and wildlife removal process begins with pinpointing any access points to your home and finding where the rodents or animals are breeding and hiding. They can hide in many places including your appliances, attic, garage, walls, cabinets, and underneath your home. Once we identify where they have colonized, we will then seal entry points into your home using steel wire screens that cannot be chewed through. If you have rodents, glue boards and snap traps will be safely set-up in critical areas of your home in far reach of kids and pets. After the capture is completed, we sanitize your home with a disinfectant spray to kill bacteria and pheromones that could potentially attract more animals to your home. Wildlife animals such as possums, bats, and birds will be placed into an animal sanctuary to comply with Texas State law.
