This photo shows a black widow spider crawling on the exterior soffit of a home in Farmersville, Texas. Our technician treated the soffit and surrounding eaves and inspected the roofline for webs and egg sacs.

A raised sandy fire ant mound with open holes, built up in a patch of green and brown lawn grass.

This photo shows a fire ant mound pushed up through the grass on a McKinney lawn. The sandy mound with open holes is only the entrance to a much larger colony below ground. Treating the nest at the source, not just the visible mound, is how the whole colony is eliminated.

During an attic inspection in Allen, TX, we found a communication cable gnawed through by a rodent, leaving the inner copper wiring frayed and exposed above the blown insulation. Rodents chew wiring constantly, which can cause service outages and fire hazards. We identified the activity and recommended a treatment plan for the rodents in the … Read more

Metal sheet flashing fastened and sealed over a gap where the roofline meets the siding, above asphalt shingles.

Where this Frisco roofline met the siding, a gap sat wide open just above the shingles. Rodents use spots like this to slip straight into the attic. We covered the opening with sheet metal flashing and sealed the edges so mice and roof rats no longer have a way in.

A bright green anole lizard resting on painted exterior wall trim above a brick surface.

During a visit to a Richardson home, we spotted this green anole resting on the exterior wall trim just above the brick. Anoles are harmless and feed on insects, but their presence often points to an active bug population nearby. We inspected the area and advised the homeowner on keeping exterior pests in check.
