Our Program

We offer an eco-friendly program called Stride Forward. In this program, we partner with our clients in the long-term removal and prevention of pests. It means working together to keep your property free of unwanted insects and rodents.

Stride Forward was created to educate clients on proactive and preventative steps they can take to keep their property pest-free. Some techniques we use include:

• Modification of cultural behavior
• Habitat manipulation
• Biological control
• Use of products designed to repel or eradicate

Our Process

Stride Pest Control performs a five-step process to get rid of pest infestations in your home:

• Inspection. We perform a thorough inspection to determine where insects are entering the building and where they may stay once inside.
• Identification. We identify any species present inside the home. Our professionals can also identify conditions that can cause infestations, such as wood piles close to the home.
• Recommendation. We’ll do what we can to keep pests out, but you’ll have to do your part as well. We’ll make recommendations on what action items you can do yourself.
• Treatment. Treatment options may include the following:
• Exclusion. A large percentage of insects enter through missing or worn door and window seals, openings around utility and electrical lines, and other areas of easy access. If feasible, we can seal any cracks, gaps, or holes to prevent entry.
• Product usage. Most of the products we use are applied on the exterior of the home to get bugs at their source. We also apply a residual dust into all cracks and crevices during the winter and will treat the interior for free.
• Evaluation. A regular maintenance plan is recommended to prevent future issues. Even if pest activity slows down in the fall and winter months, do not skip services. You are much more likely to have a pest issue the following spring.

Common Pests in Stone Oak

In Stone Oak, scorpions and spiders are common due to the rocky terrain. So are cockroaches, ants, fleas, wasps, and termites. Here’s a look at these common pests in more detail:

• Scorpions. Scorpions are arachnids that are closely related to spiders. They tend to hide in rocks and wood piles during the day and are active at night. They have eight legs and pincers. Scorpions can sting, causing pain, tingling, and numbness.
• Spiders. Spiders are also eight-legged creatures. They can get into your home through the smallest gaps and cracks. While most spiders are safe, brown recluse spiders and black widows can be dangerous, with their bites toxic.
• Cockroaches. Cockroaches are nasty pests. They are known to carry up to 33 different kinds of bacteria and can spread this bacteria very quickly. They can run up to 3 miles per hour and live up to nine days without their heads. Cockroaches are also known to trigger allergies and asthma attacks.
• Ants. Ants are social creatures that tend to travel in large groups. There are thousands of species of ants. They are attracted to food. Even the smallest crumbs can attract large numbers of ants. Ants can contaminate food, so it’s best to get rid of them as soon as possible.
• Fleas. Fleas are not solely found on cats and dogs. They can infest your home or yard as well. They tend to live in carpets and bedding. You can get them out of your home by frequently vacuuming and sweeping. Outdoors, fleas like shade, so keep your lawn mowed, avoid overwatering plants, and keep rodents out.
• Wasps. Wasps are known for their painful stings. They can sting over and over again, unlike honey bees, which tend to die after stinging once. Wasps start new nests every spring. While they are highly defensive of their territory, they are generally not aggressive when left alone.
• Termites. Termites cause billions of dollars in damage every year. They eat wood around the clock, destroying homes and other structures. Termites typically go undetected, though, and by the time you notice them, it may be too late. Fumigation is needed to get rid of these annoying pests.
