Our Pest Control Services in Leander:
Leander Termite Extermination
Subterranean termites and drywood termites destroy wooden structures throughout Leander, consuming floor joists, wall studs, and roof framing from the inside out. These insects build mud tubes up foundation walls and slab edges to access wood framing, causing thousands of dollars in structural damage before homeowners notice hollow-sounding wood, sagging floors, or stuck doors and windows. Drywood termites infest window frames, door casings, and attic timbers without any ground contact, leaving piles of frass that signal active colonies feeding on structural wood. We inspect crawl spaces, attics, and foundation areas for termite activity, mud tubes, damaged wood, and live insects. Our treatment methods include liquid termiticides applied to soil around foundations, bait stations positioned at termite entry points, and direct wood treatments where colonies actively feed. We establish monitoring systems to detect new termite activity before it causes additional structural damage and provide documentation for real estate transactions and insurance claims.
Leander Rodent Extermination
Roof rats and Norway rats infest attics, wall voids, and garages throughout Leander, spreading hantavirus, leptospirosis, salmonella, and rat-bite fever through their urine and droppings. These rodents chew through electrical wiring, creating fire hazards that threaten homes and families. They destroy insulation, gnaw through wooden support structures, and contaminate stored belongings with feces and urine. Rodents breed rapidly, with females producing up to six litters per year containing 6-12 pups each. We inspect properties to locate entry points including gaps around plumbing penetrations, damaged vent screens, openings under garage doors, and holes in soffits and eaves. Our technicians install tamper-resistant bait stations in attics, crawl spaces, and around building exteriors based on rodent activity patterns. We set snap traps along active travel routes identified by droppings, gnaw marks, and greasy rub marks on walls and rafters. We seal entry points with steel mesh, metal flashing, and concrete to block future rodent access.
Leander Mosquito Control Treatments
Mosquitoes transmit West Nile virus, Zika virus, dengue fever, and chikungunya while making yards and outdoor spaces unusable during summer evenings. Aedes and Culex mosquitoes breed in bird baths, clogged gutters, flower pots, pet water bowls, tire swings, and any container holding water for more than a week. Properties near Lake Travis, Brushy Creek, and areas with poor drainage face constant mosquito pressure from breeding sites in standing water. We apply residual insecticides to vegetation, fence lines, and building exteriors where adult mosquitoes rest between blood meals. Our technicians treat standing water sources with larvicides that kill mosquito larvae before they mature into disease-carrying adults. Monthly treatments from April through October provide continuous protection during peak mosquito season when these insects pose the greatest health threat to families spending time outdoors around pools, patios, and recreational areas.
Leander Chigger Extermination
Chigger larvae attach to skin and inject digestive enzymes that cause intense itching and painful welts lasting for weeks. These mites wait in grass, groundcover, and overgrown vegetation for hosts to pass by. The landscaped yards and natural areas throughout Leander neighborhoods harbor high chigger populations during warm months. Chigger bites often appear in clusters around ankles, waistbands, underarms, and other areas where clothing fits tightly. The itching becomes so severe it disrupts sleep and daily activities. We apply miticides to lawns, gardens, and vegetation where chiggers concentrate in large numbers. Treatment targets the soil surface and lower plant growth where larvae gather before attaching to skin. Multiple applications during spring and summer months kill chigger populations when they are most active and dangerous to homeowners using yards, walking trails, and outdoor spaces near greenbelt areas.
Leander Tick Extermination
Lone Star ticks, American dog ticks, and brown dog ticks transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, and Lyme disease to humans and pets. These parasites wait in tall grass, leaf litter, and vegetation along property edges where yards meet natural areas and undeveloped land. Properties backing to greenbelt spaces and near Lake Travis trails face constant tick pressure from wildlife hosts including deer, raccoons, opossums, and feral cats. We treat yards with acaricides that kill ticks on contact and provide residual control for weeks. Our technicians focus applications on vegetation edges, leaf piles, wood piles, and transition zones where ticks move from wildlife to areas where people and pets spend time. We create protective barriers between lawns and natural areas to reduce tick exposure in outdoor living spaces and play areas.
Leander Flea Extermination
Fleas infest homes when pets bring them inside from yards or when wildlife introduces them to outdoor areas. These parasites multiply rapidly in carpets, furniture, and pet bedding. Adult fleas bite humans and animals while larvae develop in carpet fibers, cracks in flooring, and underneath furniture. Cat fleas are the most common species and will feed on any available host. A single female flea lays up to 50 eggs per day that fall off pets into carpets, furniture, and pet resting areas. We treat indoor areas with products that kill adult fleas and insect growth regulators that prevent larvae from maturing into breeding adults. Our technicians treat pet resting areas, carpeted rooms, upholstered furniture, and baseboards where flea populations concentrate. Outdoor yard treatments target shaded areas under decks, porches, and trees where pets spend time and wildlife may introduce new fleas to properties.
Leander Bed Bug Extermination
Bed bugs hide in mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, headboards, nightstands, and furniture, emerging at night to feed on sleeping humans. These parasites cause itchy bites and anxiety that disrupts sleep and daily activities. Bed bugs spread through luggage, used furniture, clothing, and visitors, making any home vulnerable to infestation regardless of cleanliness. They can survive months without feeding and hide in cracks as thin as a credit card. We inspect bedrooms, living areas, and furniture to locate bed bug harborage sites and evidence of feeding activity including blood spots, fecal stains, and shed skins. Our treatment methods include targeted insecticide applications to cracks, crevices, and hiding spots where bed bugs shelter during daylight hours. We use heat treatments or chemical applications that kill all life stages including eggs, which resist many conventional treatments. Follow-up inspections confirm elimination and detect any surviving bed bugs before they reestablish populations.
Leander General Pest Control
Ants, spiders, cockroaches, silverfish, scorpions, and other pests invade Leander homes through foundation cracks, gaps around doors and windows, and utility penetrations. German cockroaches infest kitchens and bathrooms, spreading E. coli, salmonella, and bacteria that contaminate food preparation surfaces. Fire ants build mounds in lawns and flowerbeds throughout neighborhoods, delivering painful stings that cause severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Black widow spiders and brown recluse spiders hide in storage areas, garages, attics, and closets, posing serious bite risks that require immediate medical treatment. Scorpions enter homes seeking water and shelter, hiding in shoes, towels, and bedding where they sting unexpectedly. Carpenter ants excavate galleries in wooden structures, causing damage that weakens framing and support beams. We apply EPA-approved products to baseboards, door frames, window sills, and other areas where pests enter structures and travel inside. Our treatments create barriers that kill pests on contact and provide residual control between service visits to prevent infestations.
