Our Pest Control Services in Converse
Converse TX sits in eastern Bexar County with a humid subtropical climate that keeps pest pressure high nearly year-round. Hot summers push ants, roaches, and mosquitoes into overdrive, while mild winters mean most insects never fully die off. Over 43% of households in Converse are raising kids under 18, and new construction, irrigated turf, and daily cooking gives pests exactly what they need. Insect control and rodent control are not seasonal here – they’re year-round needs.
Stride Pest Control is a family-owned company providing Converse pest control out of our San Antonio office under TDA License TPCL #827449. Certified applicator Alex Randall holds both Pest and Termite categories on that license, and every service member passes a full background check and drug screening before stepping on your property. We’re QualityPro certified, meeting 16 standards above state and federal requirements, and we’re active members of the National Pest Management Association. Our pest treatment approach follows integrated pest management principles as outlined by the EPA. We inspect first, identify the species, and target the problem. Our pest control services run on service agreements, not contracts – and every one comes with a guarantee.
| Pest | Signs You Have a Problem |
|---|---|
| Ants (fire ants, carpenter ants) | Mounds in yard, trailing lines along counters or baseboards, small piles of wood shavings near walls |
| Cockroaches (American, German) | Droppings in cabinets, musty odor under sinks, egg cases in cracks, live roaches at night |
| Rodents (roof rats, house mice) | Gnaw marks on wiring or food packaging, droppings along walls, scratching in attic or walls at night |
| Mosquitoes | Standing water in gutters, pots, or toys; bites on ankles and arms; buzzing at dusk |
| Bed bugs | Small rust-colored spots on sheets, bites in rows or clusters, dark specks along mattress seams |
| Termites (subterranean) | Mud tubes on foundation, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windows or doors |
| Spiders (brown recluse, black widow) | Webs in corners, garages, or closets; spider sightings in dark undisturbed areas |
| Scorpions (striped bark scorpion) | Sightings at night near exterior walls, in shoes, or around bathtubs and sinks |
| Fleas, ticks, chiggers | Pets scratching excessively, tiny bites on ankles, small dark specks jumping in carpet |
Converse Ant Control
Fire ants are the number one ant complaint we handle in Converse. Bexar County’s warm soil temperatures let fire ant colonies stay active most of the year, and their mounds pop up fast in lawns, along driveways, and next to foundations. A single colony can house hundreds of thousands of workers, and they’ll sting anything that disturbs the mound – kids, pets, you. Carpenter ants are the other major concern here. They don’t eat wood the way termites do, but they hollow it out for nesting, and that structural damage adds up quietly over months.
Our ant control treatment follows the Texas A&M AgriLife two-step fire ant control method – a broadcast bait application across the yard paired with targeted mound treatments for the worst colonies. For carpenter ants, we trace the colony back to its nesting site and treat directly. We also identify the entry points into your home and seal what we can. If ants come back between scheduled visits, we come back too – no charge. That’s part of every service agreement.
Converse Cockroach Control
Converse’s humid subtropical climate is exactly what cockroaches want. American roaches – the big ones that fly at you – thrive in the warm, damp conditions around sewer lines and exterior walls. German roaches are smaller but worse in a lot of ways. They reproduce fast and set up inside kitchens and bathrooms, close to food and water. According to the NPMA’s pest identification guide, cockroaches can trigger asthma and allergies, and they carry bacteria that contaminate food prep surfaces.
We treat roach problems with a combination of gel baits, crack-and-crevice applications, and dust in wall voids – all odorless and pet-safe. The key with roaches is hitting every hiding spot, not just the ones you can see. Our service members inspect under sinks, behind appliances, inside wall plates, and along plumbing penetrations. We also point out the moisture and sanitation conditions that attracted them in the first place. Converse homeowners on a regular pest management plan see roach problems drop off fast because we’re treating on a schedule, not waiting for an infestation to get out of hand.
Converse Rodent Control
Rodent calls pick up in Converse every fall when temperatures start dropping and rats and mice look for warm shelter. Roof rats are especially common in the area – they’re good climbers and get into attics through gaps you’d never think they could fit through. House mice squeeze through openings the size of a dime. Once inside, both species gnaw on wiring, contaminate stored food, and leave droppings in insulation. If you hear scratching overhead at night or find chew marks on food boxes, you’ve probably got company.
Our rodent control approach starts with a full inspection of your home’s exterior. We identify every entry point – pipe penetrations, gaps at the roofline, weep holes, A/C line entries – and seal them with exclusion materials that rodents can’t chew through. Inside, we set snap traps in active runways and monitor them on a regular schedule. We don’t use poison bait indoors because nobody wants a dead mouse decomposing inside a wall. The goal is to trap what’s inside and lock everything else out. For serious infestations, we set up exterior bait stations around the perimeter as an added layer of defense.
Converse Mosquito Control
Converse averages close to 27 inches of rain per year, and it only takes a bottle cap of standing water for mosquitoes to lay eggs. The humid conditions in eastern Bexar County give adult mosquitoes longer lifespans and more active feeding windows, especially from late spring through early fall. According to the CDC, mosquitoes can transmit diseases including West Nile virus and Zika – making them more than just a nuisance for families spending time outdoors.
Our mosquito control uses a two-prong approach. We treat adult mosquitoes with a targeted barrier application around your yard’s perimeter, focusing on shaded resting spots like fence lines, shrubs, and under eaves. At the same time, we treat standing water sources with larvicide to stop the next generation before it hatches. The treatment is safe for pets and kids once it dries. Most Converse homeowners on our mosquito program notice a dramatic difference after the first visit. We come back on a regular schedule through the active season to keep the population down, and if you’re still getting eaten up between treatments, we’ll come back for a re-service at no extra cost.
Converse Bed Bug Control
Bed bugs don’t care how clean your house is. They hitchhike in on luggage, used furniture, and even clothing. With Randolph AFB nearby and plenty of travelers moving through the area, Converse homes are just as vulnerable as anywhere else in the San Antonio metro. The CDC notes that bed bugs are visible to the naked eye but hide so well in mattress seams, headboards, and baseboards that most people don’t realize they have a problem until the bites show up.
Our bed bug exterminator service starts with a thorough inspection of bedrooms and surrounding areas. We check every seam, fold, and crack where bed bugs tend to hide. Treatment involves targeted chemical applications to all confirmed and suspected hiding spots, and we schedule a follow-up inspection at 10 to 14 days to confirm the treatment worked. Bed bugs are stubborn, and skipping that follow-up is how reinfestations happen. We also walk you through prevention steps – mattress encasements, reducing clutter, and knowing what to look for – so you catch any new activity early.
Converse Termite Control
Subterranean termites are the main threat to homes in Converse and across Bexar County. These colonies live underground and build mud tubes up foundations to reach the wood framing in your walls, and they can go undetected for months – or years – before you notice the damage. According to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, subterranean termites are the most economically damaging wood-destroying insect in Texas. The warm soil and clay-heavy ground in this part of Central Texas give them exactly the moisture they need to thrive.
Stride holds the Termite category on our TDA license, and Alex Randall is a certified operator for both pest and termite work. We offer free termite inspections, full subterranean termite treatment, and Wood Destroying Insect Reports (WDIR) for real estate transactions. Our termite treatment involves installing a bait station system around your home’s perimeter that eliminates the colony over time. We monitor those stations on a regular schedule, and the protection is ongoing – not a one-and-done deal. If you’re buying or selling a home in Converse, we can turn around a WDIR quickly so it doesn’t hold up your closing.
Converse Spider Control
Most spiders in Converse are harmless and actually help by eating other insects. But two species found here deserve your attention: the brown recluse and the black widow. Brown recluses hide in boxes, closets, and undisturbed storage areas. Black widows prefer garages, sheds, and exterior wall crevices. Both deliver bites that can require medical attention, especially for kids.
The best spider control starts with controlling the bugs they feed on. When we treat your home on a regular plan, spider populations drop because their food source disappears. Our licensed, insured service members also knock down webs, treat entry points, and apply product in the dark corners where spiders set up.
Converse Scorpion Control
The striped bark scorpion is the most common species in the Converse area. They’re nocturnal, about two to three inches long, and they turn up in bathrooms, closets, and shoes – especially during warmer months. Their sting is painful and can be dangerous for small children and pets.
Scorpion control works best as part of an ongoing residential pest control plan. We treat the exterior perimeter of your home, focusing on weep holes, door thresholds, and gaps around pipes. Reducing moisture and clearing debris from exterior walls takes away their hiding spots. When we knock down the bug control around your house, scorpions lose their food source and move on. Contact Stride Pest Control for a free inspection.
Converse Flea, Tick, and Chigger Control
Fleas, ticks, and chiggers thrive in Converse’s warm, grassy yards. Pets that spend time outdoors bring fleas in fast – a single flea lays up to 50 eggs a day. Ticks latch on in tall grass and some Texas species carry diseases. Chiggers leave intensely itchy bites around ankles and waistlines.
We treat yards to knock down adults on contact and break the breeding cycle. Inside, we target carpets, pet areas, and baseboards where flea eggs hide. Coordinate with your vet on pet prevention for best results. Call our same-day Converse exterminator team at (210) 547-8410 before 3:00 PM. We also serve Schertz, Live Oak, Universal City, and Selma from our A+ BBB-rated San Antonio office. Visit the Stride Pest Control homepage for more.
Our Specialized Pest Control Services
For pests that require targeted treatment methods, we offer dedicated service programs. Every service starts with a free inspection.
Termites
Central Texas is home to multiple subterranean termite species that stay active year-round in our warm, humid climate. We provide termite treatment, ongoing monitoring, and Wood Destroying Insect Reports (WDIR) for real estate transactions.
Rodents
Mice and roof rats are a year-round problem in Austin, TX, with call volume increasing in the fall and winter as rodents seek shelter indoors. We use interior trapping and exterior exclusion to seal entry points and remove existing populations. Every rodent service starts with a free inspection.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are hitchhikers that can show up in any Central Texas home regardless of cleanliness, often arriving on luggage, furniture, or clothing. We use targeted chemical applications with a follow-up inspection at 10-14 days to confirm elimination.
Mosquitoes
Central Texas heat and humidity create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes from early spring through late fall. Our two-prong approach targets both adult mosquitoes and larvae to reduce populations around your property.
Cockroaches
Roaches thrive in the warm, humid conditions across Central Texas and can carry bacteria, contaminate food, and trigger allergies and asthma. We identify the species to determine the right treatment approach - German roaches require specific prep steps and targeted application.
Ants
Central Texas is home to multiple ant species that invade homes looking for food and water, including fire ants, carpenter ants, and acrobat ants. We identify the species first because different ants require different treatment methods. Every service starts with a free inspection and includes pet/family-friendly products.
Spiders
Central Texas homes commonly see brown recluse and black widow spiders along with wolf spiders, jumping spiders, and orb weavers. We treat the interior and exterior of your home, focusing on the entry points and areas where spiders nest. Every service starts with a free inspection by a TDA-licensed technician.
Scorpions
Scorpions are common across Central Texas, especially in newer developments built on previously undeveloped land where scorpion populations are already established. We treat around the foundation, entry points, and harborage zones where scorpions hide during the day. .

San Antonio Service Area
Stride's San Antonio office at 3501 Pin Oak Dr sits just off I-10 near the Medical Center, which puts most of the metro within a 30-minute drive. The team runs routes Monday through Saturday across Bexar County and into Comal, Guadalupe, and Kendall counties, covering residential neighborhoods, commercial properties, and multi-family housing.
Route scheduling is built around geography, so your technician knows the roads and the pest pressures specific to your part of the metro rather than driving in cold from across town. That local familiarity also means they know which species are most active in each area and what construction types to watch for during inspections.
