What We Actually Do in Melissa
Every number here comes from our own service records, our own inspections and what Melissa asks us for, never an industry average.
Ant control, wasp and bee control, termite control lead Melissa pest control demand
Ant control leads in every town we serve, so the second and third are what make Melissa's list its own, and the first inspection checks for all three.
97%
of Melissa pest control visits are finished by Pest Me Off in one tripA second trip means coming back between scheduled visits, so this is the share of Melissa work that held the first time.
48%
of Melissa plan customers choose Pest Me Off's full rodent control tierThat tier adds rat and mouse coverage, an exterior bait station and a rodent proofing inspection, so none of it has to be arranged separately.
93%
of Melissa homes Pest Me Off inspects need rodent proofing in some formIt is nearly always one of three places, the corners of the garage door, where the heating and cooling lines come through the wall, or a missing filter cover. Rodent proofing, which the trade calls exclusion, closes them for good.
Why Melissa Homes Choose Pest Me Off
Pest Me Off provides licensed residential pest control in Melissa, TX, from everyday ant problems to the rats and mice that get into attics and walls when the weather turns. Ants are the pest Melissa asks about most, and wasps and bees, plus termites come next, so every first visit starts with a full inspection rather than a quick spray.
Rodents matter here too. Nearly every Melissa home we inspect needs rodent proofing somewhere, usually at the corners of the garage door or where the heating and cooling lines come through the wall, so a Melissa visit looks for where a rodent could get in as well as what is already inside.

Rodent proofing in Melissa
Keep Rats and Mice Out of Your Melissa Home for Good
Rodent proofing, which the trade calls exclusion, seals the gaps a rat or mouse uses to get into a house. Trapping alone only removes the animals already inside, and new ones follow the same route in. Sealing the route is what ends the problem instead of treating it again every fall.

From our Melissa routes
What Our Melissa Crews Actually See
Our crews run Melissa week after week, the same neighborhoods on a regular cycle. Here are real jobs from our routes, where they were and what we found.
A full fire ant treatment, lawn and home
On a lot we ran a complete carpenter ant and fire ant treatment of the home and the lawn, and told the homeowner to give it 21 days to run its course, since a few stray ants for up to a month is normal afterward. On Melissa’s Blackland clay a single mound treatment never holds for long, so the granular program across the whole yard is the part that keeps the colony from rebuilding.
Mice in a brand-new home
A homeowner who had just moved in was hearing scratching in the attic and finding droppings inside. Our inspection turned up rodent activity in all three attics, several entry points to seal, and spots near the garage corners and the air-conditioning line where mice had chewed the foam. We set traps to monitor, placed exterior bait stations, and built the sealing plan. New Melissa homes against cleared farmland get this displacement pressure first.
Twenty nests on one home
On an initial service in west Melissa we removed 20 wasp nests, 7 of them active, swept the eaves, patios, garage, and fence line, and treated the eaves so they would not draw a new colony. The deep covered patios and tall soffits on these newer homes give paper wasps far more sheltered nesting space than an older roofline, which is why a single Melissa house can carry this many at once.
Sealing 14 eaves on a clay-lot home
On the same central-Melissa home we returned to install metal over the eaves, stuff the weep holes with copper mesh, wrap the air-conditioning line, and seal the garage corners, fourteen eaves in all. Sealing every opening permanently before we keep trapping is the part that holds, because on these new clay lots new mice will simply replace the ones we remove if the entry points stay open.
We build each Melissa plan around what we actually find, not a generic calendar.

The Pests Melissa Homes Call Us About Most
Ants first, because they are the pest Melissa searches for most, as every town we serve does. Then wasps and bees, plus termites, next on Melissa’s own list.
Ants
Fire ants, odorous house ants & carpenter ants
Fire ant mounds come up in lawns, flower beds and along sidewalks after spring rain, and a disturbed mound can sting a child or a pet many times over. Odorous house ants trail into kitchens and bathrooms looking for sugar and water. Carpenter ants are the ones to watch around wet wood, because they nest in it rather than eat it.
Our ant control in Melissa starts with which ant it is, because each one needs a different treatment, and the aim is the whole colony rather than only the ants you can see. House ants are covered from the BugOff plan up, and fire ants and carpenter ants from the Stinger plan up.
Wasps and Bees
Paper wasps, yellow jackets & mud daubers
Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, porch ceilings and fence rails. Yellow jackets nest in the ground and inside wall gaps, and grow more aggressive as late summer arrives and their colonies peak. Mud daubers build tubes of mud on walls and siding and rarely sting, but their nests still need to come down.
Our wasp control in Melissa removes the nest as well as the wasps, so they do not simply rebuild in the same spot. Paper wasps and yellow jackets are covered from the Stinger plan up, while bald-faced hornets and honey bees are quoted separately. A nest by a door or play area is a same-day call.
Termites
Eastern subterranean termites
Eastern subterranean termites live in the soil and come up into a house through mud tubes on the foundation, eating wood from the inside where nobody sees it. Flying termites indoors on a warm spring day, often near a window, are usually the first sign, along with hollow-sounding trim or paint that bubbles.
Our termite treatment in Melissa starts with a full inspection of the foundation, the garage and any wood touching the soil. Termites are not part of the recurring plans, so treatment and monitoring are quoted on their own, and we come back to check the treatment is holding.
Seasonal Pest Activity in Melissa
When each pest peaks in Melissa, so you know when to call before it gets bad.
Spring
Fire ant mounds come up after the spring rains, house ants trail indoors, and termite swarms appear on warm days after rain.
Summer
Cockroaches peak in the heat, mosquitoes rise along the creeks, and wasps build nests under eaves and in shrubs.
Fall
Rodent season starts as the nights cool, with roof rats heading for rooflines and mice for garages, which makes fall the best time for rodent proofing.
Winter
Rodents stay indoors in walls and attics, and German cockroaches keep breeding in heated kitchens.

What Our Customers Say
I had a problem with yellow jackets nesting in my chimney. Pest Me Off sent a tech (Dylan) the same day within a few hours and tackled these wasps right away. Dylan treated the area with the wasp infestation and also sprayed around the entire perimeter of the roof. No complaints.
Dylan did an awesome job. Sprayed my entire yard (big yard), found 5 starter wasp nests and removed them. Even cleaned out cobwebs from the front of the house light fixtures outside. He asked questions, answered with knowledge, and was friendly to my pets.
