Central Texas Pest Control

GENERAL PEST CONTROL

Many pests thrive in dirty environments. Pests enter a home to seek shelter, food, and water. Bugs do not want to enter your home simply to inconvenience you, but because the wood, mulch beds, and bricks of your home mimic the natural habitats they seek out for protection. Add to that the fact that your windows also emit light to the outside world and provide warmth, your home becomes even more attractive to pests and bugs. You are likely not as concerned with why a pest has found their way into your home. You only want them out as quickly as possible. Stride Pest Control is a highly skilled and dedicated Central Texas pest control company. We provide free inspections so you know up front what you are dealing with. We are here to help you with your problem. We have experience dealing with many types of pests, including:

TERMITE CONTROL

Termites are not just a nuisance, but they can strike real fear in the hearts of homeowners. Termites cause billions of dollars’ worth of damage every year in Central Texas and they can wreak havoc on the structure of a home in a very short amount of time. This is because termites work hard feeding on wood 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and one colony can include thousands of termites. These critters do not sleep, and homeowners almost never see them. Still, approximately one-third of homeowners in Texas will deal with them at some point. Mud tubes, and shed wings in spider webs and window sills are some of the most common signs of a termite infestation. Contact us, we come out and do free inspections and can tell you what you are up against before you make a decision about whether to should even schedule a termite treatment.

Once your pest problems have been erased, you will notice a big difference in your family life knowing that your Central Texas home is a safe environment for you and your kids.

RODENT CONTROL

One in three people have found they have mice in their home or business in the past 12 months. That is not surprising, considering that mice can fit through a hole as small as a dime. Rats only need a space the size of a quarter. Due to the warm weather in Central Texas, rodent infestations are a problem people deal with all year round in the state. Many people also have gaps and holes in their foundation, along their windowsills, and in other areas of their home or business, making it very easy for rodents to find their way in.

Mice and roof rats are some of the most common rodents in Texas. Signs of these rodents include droppings found throughout a structure, greasy areas along the bottom of walls, and hearing scratching or scampering sounds in the walls. At Stride Pest Control, we have the experience and skill to eliminate these rodents for you. While we do not deal with raccoons, possums, and other large rodents, we do know the resources available that can help with your pest issues.

MOSQUITO CONTROL

Unlike many other pests, you will likely know you have a mosquito problem because you see them and notice the red, itchy bites on your skin. Too many people are content to think that mosquitos are a part of life and they simply must learn to co-exist with them. At Stride Pest Control, we know this is not true. We also know that many of the products on the market, such as zappers, are ineffective.

When dealing with a mosquito problem in Central Texas, you have to not only kill the bugs you can see, but also the larva that will soon grow into full grown adults. We have the effective solutions you need that will eliminate the pesky critters from your home and yard and that will make you feel comfortable in your own skin again.

FLEA/TICK/CHIGGER CONTROL

Many people know about fleas and ticks, but they are not as familiar with chiggers. Chiggers are a type of mite and they only attach to people and animals during their larva stage. They do not infest homes or spread disease, but they can cause an intense rash that can become infected if it is scratched excessively. Hikers and people that spend a lot of time in overgrown lawns, woods, and flowerbeds and gardens are most at risk for being exposed to chiggers.

It is natural to dread the thought of fleas entering your home because they are extremely invasive and can cover you or your pet with bites. Fleas though, do not only cause itchy bites but can also trigger skin allergies and transmit tapeworm and other parasites to pets. Meanwhile, ticks are also known spreaders of Lyme disease, which is a condition that can have lifelong effects for some.

Whether you are dealing with chiggers, fleas, or ticks, our experienced Central Texas pest control technicians can eliminate the problem to mitigate the health risks these pest issues are to you and your family, including your pets.

Bed bugs are extremely prevalent in Texas. While they do not pose a health threat, they can make it impossible to get a good night’s sleep, which can result in some consequences to a person’s health. Too many people simply douse their beds and other furniture with toxic chemicals that are not only ineffective, but that can also pose serious risks to the health of anyone in the home. Others simply place the infested items in another area of the home, or sleep in different bedrooms, which only spreads the problem throughout the house.

At Stride Pest Control, we will apply an effective treatment to get rid of the bugs regardless of their stage of life. We will then schedule a follow up visit to ensure the bugs are gone once and for all.
