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.
The ABC Process
1. Contact ABC
When you contact us, we will schedule an inspection to get an understanding of the problem. In some cases, we can give you a quote over the phone.
2. Get An Estimate
If you have an inspection, we will send you a custom treatment plan and estimate afterward. Once we get your approval, we will schedule your treatment.
3. Treatment
We will come to your property and treat for pests in common hiding and nesting areas. Over time, you will start seeing less and less pest activity.
4. Prevention
Customers with our ongoing pest management services will receive periodic retreatments to prevent the return of the most common pests in our area.
We provide free inspections to provide you with effective, long-term pest solutions. When an ABC inspector meets you at your home, they come with the following objectives in mind:
- Learn as much as we can about the problem you are having.
- Conduct a preliminary inspection to spot possible entry points in your home and yard.
- Determine whether there are any specific characteristics about your property that might make you more vulnerable to infestations.
- Assess both the extent and the severity of your pest problem.
- Provide you with an opportunity to ask us questions about the usual course of treatment or our techniques.
- Document your pest activity and any associated damage.
After this visit, we will send you a free, no-obligation treatment plan for your review. Once you approve our plan, we will put your first treatment plan on the calendar.

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?
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.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Matthew Frank
“I did the research before deciding who to go with. Three different companies came out of 3 days to give estimates. ABC blew the others out of the water. While I was thrilled that they were going to take care of so much work at my house for a reasonable price, the quality remained to be seen. Well, let me tell you now that the work is complete: Everyone I interacted with was an absolute pleasure, had incredibly high standards for excellence, and in the end did what seems like an outstanding job. I am convinced they're the best in town and that I was fortunate to have been referred to them. Do the research you need to do, get your quotes, etc but I'd be surprised if you find this level and quality of service in anyone else out there. It's rare these days to find service quite like this. From Ricardo who came out to give a quote, to Charles and Michael who performed the work, everyone was exceptional.”
Mechelle Lee
“I have used ABC Handyman Services twice now. Everything has been done perfectly and the specialists are pleasant to work with. They have done painting, shelf installation, bathroom fixtures and helped me with getting to some things I can’t reach. Today Christian came to put in some floating shelves (and other things) and he did the best job. Another plus is that everyone at ABC is great with my pets.”
