Pest Control in Mission, TX

Citrus is Mission's identity — and its rodent buffet

Mission threw the Valley's first Citrus Fiesta a century ago, and half its yards still honor the tradition with a grapefruit or orange tree. Roof rats honor it too: a hollowed-out grapefruit still hanging on the branch is the most Mission-specific service call we get. If your tree's fruit is disappearing from the inside out, the rats are already commuting between the canopy and somewhere warm — usually an attic. Trapping plus exclusion solves it; the poison-only approach leaves you with a smell problem above the kitchen.

Old grove soil, new subdivisions

A lot of Mission's growth — Sharyland Plantation and the subdivisions filling in toward the Expressway — sits on converted grove and farmland, ground that supported subterranean termite colonies long before it supported slabs. Builder pre-treatments fade quietly around year 5–10, and irrigated St. Augustine lawns keep slab-edge soil exactly as moist as termites like it. A free inspection every couple of years is cheap; finding mud tubes during a remodel isn't.

Winter Texan homes: the empty-house problem

Mission's RV resorts and seasonal neighborhoods empty out every spring, and a closed-up house is an unsupervised one — German roaches in a drip-dried dishwasher, crazy ants nesting in the AC unit, wasps under the eaves, all discovered in one overwhelming October walkthrough. For seasonal residents we run quarterly exterior service while you're north (no one needs to be home) so the house you return to is the house you left. A key-holder neighbor's number is all we need on file.
