What We Actually Do in The Colony
Every number here comes from our own service records, our own inspections and what The Colony asks us for, never an industry average.
Ant control, rodent control and termite control lead The Colony pest control demand
Ant control leads in every town we serve, so the second and third are what make The Colony's list its own, and the first inspection checks for all three.
95%
of pest control visits by Pest Me Off are finished in one tripMeasured across every town we serve. A second trip means coming back between scheduled visits, so this is the share of work that took one visit.
93%
of The Colony 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.
30%
of The Colony pest control jobs Pest Me Off completes are commercialRestaurants, offices and shops on the same routes as the houses, which is why a business in The Colony gets a company already working the street it is on.
Why Homes in The Colony Choose Pest Me Off
Pest Me Off provides licensed residential pest control in The Colony, TX, from everyday ant problems to the rats and mice that get into attics and walls when the weather turns. Ants are the pest The Colony asks about most, and rodents and termites come next, so every first visit starts with a full inspection rather than a quick spray.
Rodents matter here too. Nearly every home in The Colony 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 visit in The Colony looks for where a rodent could get in as well as what is already inside. Close to a third of our work in The Colony is commercial, for restaurants, offices and shops on the same routes as the houses.

Rodent proofing in The Colony
Keep Rats and Mice Out of Your Home in The Colony 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 routes in The Colony
What Our Crews Actually See in The Colony
Our crews run The Colony week after week, the same neighborhoods on a regular cycle. Here are real jobs from our routes, where they were and what we found.
Roaches under the kitchen line
A Grandscape-area restaurant called us in on a long-running German roach problem the last company never finished. We set monitoring glue boards under the kitchen line and around floor drains, treated the cracks and hiding spots, and put growth regulators in to break the breeding cycle. German roaches off the SH-121 food corridor are our most common roach call in The Colony.
Nests on the eaves and fence
On a lake-side quarterly, we cleared paper wasps and mud daubers off the eaves, fence rails, and patio, then treated the spots where they rebuild. Wasps are the call we run most across The Colony from early spring on. The covered patios and shaded fence lines on the older peninsula homes draw them back to the same corners year after year.
A skunk under the downspout
A lake-side home had a skunk denning right against the foundation by a downspout. We set a humane cage trap, removed the animal safely, and sealed the gap it was using. The 600-acre wildlife area on the lake pushes skunks, raccoons, and rodents into yards along the shoreline at night, so we close the entry points, not just trap the one animal.
A yard full of wasps in June
An Austin Ranch homeowner had wasps working the whole yard, so we ran a full-property treatment and knocked down every nest we found on the eaves and fence. The newer mixed-use homes near Grandscape pack a lot of covered structure into tight lots, and that gives paper wasps shelter on every elevation through the warm months.
We build each plan in The Colony around what we actually find, not a generic calendar.

The Pests Homes in The Colony Call Us About Most
Ants first, because they are the pest The Colony searches for most, as every town we serve does. Then rodents and termites, next on The Colony’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 The Colony 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.
Rodents
Roof rats, Norway rats & house mice
Roof rats travel along tree limbs and fences and get in high, through gaps at the roofline, soffits and vents. Norway rats and house mice stay low, using the corners of the garage door and the gap where the heating and cooling lines enter the wall. Scratching in the attic or walls on a fall evening is usually the first sign.
Our rodent control in The Colony runs as one sequence. We find and seal every opening first, then trap, then come back to check, so new rodents cannot replace the ones we remove. Full rodent protection, the Mickey plan, keeps an exterior bait station working between visits.
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 The Colony 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 The Colony
When each pest peaks in The Colony, 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
Great communication from every team member involved from start to finish. We had an ant issue and they have pet-safe spray for inside and outside. I would absolutely use them again.
After a horrible experience with a big national pest control company, three visits and zero results, we called Pest Me Off and the difference was unbelievable. The owner came out first thing the next morning, inspected everything, and solved the problem in one visit. Highly recommend.
