Pest Control in DeSoto, TX
DeSoto’s temperate climate, combined with our proximity to water and green spaces makes our area a desirable place to live. Unfortunately, this also means that unwanted insects and critters can quickly take up residence. When looking for pest control in DeSoto, homeowners turn to ABC Home & Commercial Services. Our pros deliver effective solutions to keep pests at bay.
Effective Pest Control Solutions
We create our pest control plans using the scientifically proven principles of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) philosophy. With over 70 years of experience in the pest control industry, we also have a firm grasp of how local conditions and weather can affect pest behavior. We’ve used this knowledge to make a thorough in-house training program that all of our professionals go through before conducting service calls. This deep understanding of the best techniques to target and control pests has helped us develop our Signature Service.
Our Signature Service includes:
- A complete inspection of your property so we can take note of any new factors that could make you more vulnerable to a pest infestation.
- An application of preventative solutions, when needed.
- Targeted solutions applied along the exterior of your home to create a barrier against pests.
- A sprinkling of preventative products around potential pest entry points, such as near weep holes or air conditioning lines.
- Filling cracks and crevices with copper wool to prevent pests from entering your home, when necessary.
- An inspection of your attic and crawl spaces to determine if any additional treatments are needed.
We are proud to be a QualityPro accredited business. To maintain this credential, ABC has a strict hiring process in place.

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.
Every pest problem presents different challenges. Since every pest problem is unique, we typically prefer to inspect your property in person to get a better understanding of the particular problem you have. After your free inspection, our specialist will provide you with an estimate. In some cases, we can even offer an estimate over the phone.
During your in-person visit, you can expect your pest control specialist to:
- ask you about what pest activity you’ve been noticing around your property and where you’ve been seeing pests;
- conduct an inspection to locate pest hiding spots, potential entry points and any pest-related damage;
- assess your property for any unique characteristics or environmental factors that could be making your home and yard more attractive to pests;
- explain our pest control protocols and answer any questions you may have about our suggested treatments or the pests.
When we get your approval of our recommended next steps, we will schedule your first treatment call.

How long will it take to notice results from a treatment by ABC?
Because every pest problem is unique, we create an individualized treatment plan for every customer. We understand that DeSoto homeowners would like to hear that their issue will be resolved in just a few visits. However, it usually takes multiple appointments are often required to fully control the pests on their property. When we make your custom treatment plan, we take into account the type of pest on your property, the severity of the infestation, the season in which the infestation has taken place and any other unique factors that may make your property more vulnerable to an infestation.
Since pest activity tends to be cyclical, we usually recommend ongoing treatment services to protect your property from a future infestation.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Alex Stagg
“We had technician Jordan come out to our home to spray. When I arrived home to meet him my father in law had fallen in the living room. Jordan took the time to help us get him up and stable and was so kind and helpful with that. He helped us discover the possible source of our bug issue (a leak under the house) and was so educational about it. I appreciate him and his work and I hope to see him again at our next appointment.”
Pamela Thomas
“We used ABC Home Services to address a rodent issue. A previous vender we contacted kept delaying and delaying, I suspect so that the issue would increase and they would get more money to address the problem. I talked with ABC on Wednesday; by the following Tuesday they had sealed all access points to the house, repaired a loose gutter, plugged the downspouts and set snap traps in the attic. (We had already purchased bait stations and set those out.) ABC acted very promptly, which is important in addressing a rodent issue. Highly recommend them.”
Did you know that opossums do not like cold weather? While these creatures do not hibernate, they take special care to stay warm during winter. In warmer areas, they can even stay active year-round....
