Sherwood Forest Pest Control

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.

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.

Prior to mosquitoes transmitting disease in the US, having mosquitoes in our yards just meant moving the party indoors or dealing with a few itchy bites. But with cases of West Nile and Zika in Texas, homeowners are getting more serious about having their yard treated for mosquitos.

If installing bug zappers and burning citronella candles aren’t working, your best bet is to have your yard treated for mosquitoes by a professional mosquito treatment company that can provide a permanent solution to eliminating most, if not all, of the mosquitoes from your yard.
