Call about Pest Inspection Report →Most of the work happens where you'd never think to look: attic insulation, garage slab edges, the gap where the foundation meets brick. Round Rock houses sit on slab-on-grade over clay that shifts with the weather, and those hairline cracks are where ants and roaches get in.
This one is about finding entry points in a house with no basement, where the attic and garage do the work a cellar would elsewhere.
We work around your open hours, not ours, so treatment often happens before opening or after close. Loading docks, dumpster pads, and employee break rooms get as much attention as the dining room or sales floor, because that's where pests actually show up first.
Scheduling bends around your business hours, and we leave behind the kind of written record a health inspector will want to see.
A short visit every month keeps the barrier around your home fresh before it has a chance to break down. This is less about one big treatment and more about staying ahead of breeding cycles so populations never get the chance to build.
The whole point is frequency — small visits stacked close together so nothing ever gets established.
Four visits a year, timed around the seasons rather than the calendar. Each application has to hold through a full stretch of Central Texas weather, including the long summer heat that burns through product faster than a cooler climate would.
Longer gaps between visits mean each treatment has to be strong enough to outlast a whole season, not just a few weeks.
Usually this is for a specific moment — closing on a house, getting ready for guests, clearing a problem before it becomes a bigger one. Since there's no follow-up visit scheduled, we treat wider and heavier than we would on the first stop of a recurring plan.
No return trip is built in, so the first and only visit has to cover more ground than it would on any ongoing plan.
This is for the active situation — a wasp nest by the front door, a sudden swarm, something you can't wait a week on. We skip the usual walk-around-and-assess step and go straight to dealing with what's putting someone at risk.
The inspection step that normally comes first gets set aside in favor of handling the immediate problem.
Spraying what you see on the counter doesn't do much if the colony is still intact behind the wall. We follow the trail back, figure out whether it's a few scouts or an established colony, and bait accordingly rather than just knocking down what's visible.
This is about tracing trails back to a nest, not treating the ants you can actually see.
Roaches hide in plumbing chases, behind the dishwasher, under the fridge — places a general spray never reaches. Egg cases survive a lot of standard treatments too, so we plan around a second pass to catch what hatches after the first one.
The egg cases are the problem here — one treatment rarely gets them all, so a follow-up is part of the job.
Most of this work happens outside, knocking down webs under eaves and around porch lights with a pole and brush before any product goes down. Spiders are usually a sign something else is feeding them, so we're also looking at what's drawing other insects to the house.
This is physical work first — clearing webs by hand — and only partly a spray job.
Adult fleas are the easy part. The eggs and larvae living down in carpet fibers and pet bedding are what cause a second wave two weeks later, so this treatment is built around breaking that cycle, not just killing what's jumping around that day.
The target here is eggs and larvae buried in carpet and fabric, not the adult insects you can actually see.
No treatment happens on this visit. We walk the property, note what we find — activity, damage, conditions that invite pests — and hand you something in writing, which is usually what's needed for a real estate closing or a landlord's file.
No product goes down at all — this one produces a written report, not a treatment.
