Roaches, ants, fleas, spiders, silverfish, wasps — one local team, one call, and a plan that keeps them out instead of just knocking them down.
Active infestation? Calling is the fastest option: (903) 388-7516.
Warm, humid, and wet — Anderson County’s climate keeps insects active nearly year-round. Add the wooded lots, the crawlspaces under older Palestine homes, and the wildlife that lives under them, and most homes here face steady pressure from several pests at once.
The problem with handling it yourself isn’t that store products don’t kill anything. It’s that killing what you can see does nothing about the population producing it. Roaches breed in wall voids. Flea eggs sit dormant in carpet for weeks. Fire ant colonies just relocate the queen when you disturb the mound.
We treat the source, not the sighting.
We identify what pest you actually have — misidentification is the single most common reason DIY treatments fail — and locate entry points, breeding areas, and nests.
Clear breakdown of pest type, treatment methods, scheduled visits, cost, and warranty coverage before any work begins.
Targeted application to cracks, crevices, wall voids, and perimeter barriers. We prioritize professional baits over broad sprays where baits work best.
Sealing exterior gaps, replacing worn door sweeps, screening vents, and pointing out moisture conditions. This critical step stops future invaders.
Scheduled re-treatments tailored to pest life cycles, followed by ongoing protection so problems stay permanently solved.
Store products only scatter crawling pests. We identify harborage areas, moisture sources, and entry points to eliminate infestations at the root.
German roaches breed fast and hide in warm, tight spaces — behind appliances, under sinks, inside cabinet voids. American roaches ('waterbugs') enter through drains, gaps, and door sweeps. We treat harborage areas and entry points, not just where you saw one.
Sugar ants along counters, carpenter ants in damp wood, and fire ants in the yard are three distinct problems. Fire ant colonies rebuild when mounds are disturbed; lasting control requires scheduled broadcast yard treatment.
Moisture pests found in bathrooms, garages, crawlspaces, and foundations. Treatment is straightforward, and we guide you in correcting moisture and sealing entry points for a permanent fix.
The striped bark scorpion is native to Texas and enters garages, crawlspaces, and living spaces. Because they follow prey, scorpion control relies directly on controlling the insects they hunt.
Fleas are one of the few household pests where the timeline matters more than the product. A flea population is mostly eggs, larvae, and pupae you can’t see — the adults you’re finding are a small fraction of what’s in the house. Pupae in particular are protected inside a cocoon and can survive treatment, then hatch days later. That’s why people treat once, feel relieved for a week, and then find fleas again.
Our flea treatment includes:
Two things we’ll tell you honestly: treatment will not hold unless every pet is on a veterinary flea preventative — we can’t out-treat an untreated host. And if you have fleas but no pets, something else is living under or in the structure. Opossums, raccoons, feral cats, and rodents under pier-and-beam homes are the usual source in Palestine, and the fleas keep coming back until that’s addressed.
The honest version: in East Texas, one-time treatment solves the pest you have today. It does nothing about the next one, and there’s always a next one — pressure here is constant and seasonal. If you’re calling us more than once a year, the quarterly program costs less and works better.
STINGING & NUISANCE INSECT CONTROL
Nests under eaves, soffits, grills, and inside wall voids. We treat and remove nests rather than just knocking them down, preventing colonies from rebuilding.
Mostly harmless but persistent on brick, siding, and porch ceilings. We provide residual treatment plus physical removal of nesting structures.
Almost always tied to sanitation or organic drain biofilm. Killing flying adults is only temporary; we identify and treat the underlying breeding site.
Often driven by overwatered plants, indoor drains, or persistent crawlspace moisture problems. We help eliminate moisture breeding points.
Most spiders in East Texas are harmless and are actually eating the insects you don’t want. Two are worth taking seriously:
If you believe you’ve been bitten by either, seek medical care. Don’t wait to see how it develops, and don’t rely on anything you read online — including this page.
Spider control works by removing what they’re eating and closing what they’re using. We treat harborage areas and entry points, knock down webs and egg sacs, and address the insect population supporting them. We’ll also point out the storage and clutter conditions that make a garage or closet attractive to recluses in the first place.
Applied by a licensed Texas applicator at label rate, yes. We use targeted application to cracks, crevices, voids, and perimeter surfaces rather than broadcast spraying of living space, and we use baits over sprays wherever baits are the better tool.
We’ll tell you clearly which areas to stay out of and for how long — usually until the application has dried. Cover fish tanks, keep pets out of treated rooms during application, and tell us in advance about anyone in the home with sensitivities, and we’ll adjust the plan.

INSECT & SPIDER CONTROL QUESTIONS
It depends on the pest, the size of the home, and whether you need a single treatment or an ongoing program. Most one-time treatments in the Palestine area run an affordable flat rate, and quarterly service starts with budget-friendly recurring maintenance. We quote in writing after a free inspection.
Expect 2–4 weeks and at least two visits. Flea eggs and pupae survive the first treatment and hatch afterward, so the follow-up visit is what actually ends the cycle — along with keeping every pet on a veterinary preventative and vacuuming daily during that window.
Almost always wildlife — opossums, raccoons, feral cats, or rodents living under or in the structure. This is very common in pier-and-beam homes around Palestine. We’ll find and identify the wildlife source, because treating the fleas alone won’t hold.
They are present throughout East Texas and prefer undisturbed indoor spaces like closets, attics, and storage boxes. Most spiders you see are harmless, but if you suspect a recluse or black widow bite, seek medical care right away.
Rarely. German roaches breed inside wall voids and behind appliances, and their egg capsules are protected from most treatments. Effective roach control means baiting harborage areas and following up. Anyone promising one visit is selling you a callback.
Yes. Fire ants require broadcast yard treatment on a set schedule, not mound-by-mound spot treatment — disturbing a mound just moves the colony a few feet away.
In most cases yes. We’ll tell you which rooms to avoid and for how long, usually until the application has fully dried.
Quarterly is standard in East Texas because pest pressure shifts with every season. Homes with crawlspaces, wooded lots, or nearby creeks and ponds often need consistent protection.
Applied by a licensed Texas applicator at label rate, yes. We use targeted crack, crevice, and perimeter application rather than broadcast spraying, prioritizing baits over sprays. Keep pets and children out of treated rooms until dry (typically 30–60 minutes), cover fish tanks, and notify us of any sensitivities.
