Pest Control in Temple, TX

Living in Temple’s warm climate means that a backyard dinner or time spent outside is enjoyable almost year-round. However, it also makes it likely that you could have a problem with roaches, mosquitoes, termites, bed bugs and other pests. When it comes to pest control, Temple homeowners rely on ABC Home & Commercial Services to protect them from unwanted visitors.

Effective Pest Control Solutions

After serving Texas home and business owners for decades, we fully understand pest behavior and the science surrounding effective, long-term solutions. We adhere to a philosophy embraced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and are the largest independently owned and operated pest control company in the state.

We use an approach called Integrated Pest Management (IPM) which is based on finding a balance between effective interventions, low costs and low impact. These techniques work to prevent pest problems from happening in the first place by taking into account the interplay of all organisms within an ecosystem. A keen understanding of the intersection between biology, entomology, animal behavior and horticulture, mixed with industry best practices and the latest research on pest behavior, helps us craft practical solutions to even the toughest pest problem.

One of the main values of IPM is exploring non-chemical solutions before resorting to other types of treatments. ABC technicians pay careful attention to how pests are entering and exiting your property to install protective barriers to keep insects and animals out. Our other methods include minimizing moisture sources, which could mean adding mosquito dunks to birdbaths, adjusting your sprinkler system and removing excess vegetation where water can collect. Our team will also assess your property for areas where pests like to live and suggest changes like removing leaves, removing firewood piles and trimming grass and bushes to make your property less habitable to pests.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take someone to get here to start working on my pest problem?

We understand that when you spot a roach creeping across the floor, you want the problem taken care of as quickly as possible. Depending on the nature of the infestation, we may be able to give you an estimate right over the phone so that we can get to work immediately. In some cases though, we may recommend an inspector meet you at your home to get a closer look at the problem you have in order to make a treatment plan tailored for your needs.

When an inspection visit is recommended, we do our very best to get someone out in just a few business days. After that appointment, we will send you a no-obligation estimate for you to look over. Once we get your approval, we can schedule your first service call.

How long can I expect an ABC treatment plan to last?

While we wish we could tell you every pest problem will be resolved after just one visit, the truth is that this isn’t usually the case. There is a reason these creatures are called pests in the first place, and it’s generally because they require some time and focus, which often involves a series of visits. One of the main reasons we recommend these follow-ups is to make sure that the creature’s reproduction has been halted so that you don’t have another generation of pests causing you headaches.

Your custom treatment plan will take a number of factors into account, including the time of year, the pest you are dealing with and the severity and extent of the infestation. We also offer year-round service to protect your home against the four most common culprits for pest problems here in Temple: roaches, mosquitoes, spiders and scorpions.

Do I need to make arrangements to be home for every ABC service call?

 

We understand that Temple homeowners lead busy lives. That’s why we offer outside-only services that focus on pests that make their way indoors. This service addresses your house’s exterior so that creepy crawling insects stay away.

“I recently had ABC come over to clean my gutters, and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. The team was not only friendly and professional but also incredibly thorough in their work. They arrived on time, were very respectful of my property, and went above and beyond to ensure that my gutters were spotlessly clean. The quality of their work was outstanding, and it's evident that they take great pride in ensuring customer satisfaction. I highly recommend ABC for anyone in need of gutter cleaning services. Their excellent service, attention to detail, and the positive attitude of their team members have made me a satisfied customer. Thank you, ABC, for doing such a fantastic job!”

“After calling many Pest control companies to get quotes & also ask about their warranty, I settled with ABC because of their good reputation. They have very reasonable rates & said they will come back in 2 weeks to check on everything, no charge. They do have a monthly charge for maintenance, but they all do. Gill, the technician, was very thorough, treating the inside & outside, including windowsills. Everyone, including the reps answering phone, & technicians were friendly & seemed to be trustworthy. Very happy with their service, and they seemed to care about the customer & their needs.”
