Selma, TX Pest Control
Our Selma pest control service protects homes and businesses throughout this growing Bexar County community. Located along IH-35 between San Antonio and New Braunfels, Selma faces serious pest pressures from its mix of established neighborhoods near Retama Park and newer developments spreading east toward Forum Parkway and Lookout Road. Termites damage wood framing in both older homes around the Olympia Parkway area and new construction near Stone Oak. Rodents enter structures searching for food and shelter, contaminating insulation and wiring. Mosquitoes breed in standing water common after heavy rains that flood yards and detention ponds. Our Selma exterminators provide pest extermination in Selma with same day service when you call by 3pm, and we offer free estimates on all treatments.

Our Pest Control Services in Selma:
Selma Termite Extermination
Subterranean termites destroy wood structures throughout Selma, causing thousands of dollars in damage before homeowners notice the infestation. These insects build mud tubes up foundation walls to access floor joists, wall studs, and roof trusses. We inspect crawl spaces, attics, and exterior perimeter areas for active colonies and evidence of prior damage. Our treatment methods include liquid termiticides applied to soil around foundations and direct wood treatments where colonies are feeding. We establish monitoring stations to detect new termite activity and provide documentation for real estate transactions.
Selma Rodent Extermination
Roof rats and Norway rats infest attics, wall voids, and garages in Selma homes, spreading diseases through their urine and droppings. These rodents chew through electrical wiring, creating fire hazards, and destroy insulation. We identify entry points where rodents access structures, including gaps around pipes, damaged vent screens, and openings under garage doors. Our technicians install tamper-resistant bait stations in strategic locations and set snap traps in active runways. We seal entry points with steel mesh and other exclusion materials to prevent future infestations.
Selma Mosquito Treatments
Mosquitoes transmit West Nile virus, Zika virus, and other serious diseases while making outdoor spaces unusable during summer months. Aedes and Culex mosquitoes breed in flower pots, clogged gutters, bird baths, and any container holding water for more than a week. We apply residual insecticides to vegetation, fences, and building exteriors where adult mosquitoes rest during the day. Our technicians treat standing water sources with larvicides that kill mosquito larvae before they mature into biting adults. Monthly treatments from April through October provide continuous protection during peak mosquito season.
Selma Chigger Extermination
Chigger larvae attach to skin and inject digestive enzymes that cause intense itching and red welts lasting for weeks. These mites thrive in overgrown grass, weedy areas, and unmowed sections of lawns common in larger Selma properties. We apply miticides to lawns, focusing on shaded areas with thick vegetation where chiggers concentrate. Treatment targets the soil surface and lower vegetation where larvae wait for hosts. Multiple applications during spring and summer months control chigger populations when they are most active and dangerous.
Selma Tick Extermination
Lone Star ticks and American dog ticks transmit serious diseases including Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis. These parasites wait in tall grass, brush piles, and leaf litter along property edges and wooded areas. We treat yards with acaricides that kill ticks on contact and provide residual control for weeks. Our technicians focus applications on transition zones between lawns and natural areas where ticks move from wildlife hosts to human activity areas. We recommend removing leaf litter, clearing brush, and maintaining a barrier of gravel or wood chips between lawns and wooded sections.
Selma Flea Extermination
Fleas infest homes when pets bring them inside, and these parasites rapidly multiply in carpets, furniture, and bedding. Adult fleas bite humans and animals while larvae develop in carpet fibers and cracks in flooring. 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, underneath furniture, and along baseboards where flea populations concentrate. Outdoor yard treatments target shaded areas where pets spend time and wildlife may introduce new fleas.
Selma Bed Bug Extermination
Bed bugs hide in mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, and furniture, emerging at night to feed on sleeping humans. These insects cause itchy bites and anxiety that disrupts sleep and daily life. We inspect bedrooms, living areas, and other spaces where people rest or sit for extended periods. Our treatment methods include targeted insecticide applications to harborage areas and crack-and-crevice treatments where bed bugs hide during the day. We kill all life stages including eggs, which are resistant to many treatments. Follow-up inspections confirm elimination and catch any surviving bed bugs before they reestablish populations.
