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.
Upon your approval of our estimate, we will go ahead and schedule your first service call, which is normally about three to four business days after your inspection.
During your regularly scheduled follow-up visits, we will treat areas around the exterior of your home where pests may be hiding and locate and seal off any potential entry points for insects, such as holes in your walls, weep holes, electric lines and air conditioning lines. We will also be on the lookout for areas that could be susceptible to crawling insects, such as cockroaches and ants. Finally, we will implement simple changes around your home to protect your home against future pest infestations.
With ABC’s ongoing maintenance program, our specialists will periodically check conditions around your home that may attract new pests. We will also replenish any products that are designed to protect your home from pests.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can you come out?
We understand that at first sign of an unwanted pest on your property, you want a professional to your home as quickly as possible. You can give us a call or schedule an appointment online, and we will send a pest control expert to your home at our earliest availability.
How often do you service my property?
There is no cut and dry answer to this question, because every pest infestation is different. We will have to assess what pest has invaded your home and the extent of your infestation to provide you with a better indication of how many treatments your issue will require to resolve. In addition, some of our products last for a limited amount of time, so we may recommend monitoring calls to protect your home from a future infestation.
What if I still see pests after a treatment?
It is actually common to see an uptick in pest activity shortly after a treatment. This is because we have applied treatments to breeding and resting grounds and these insects and animals are on the lookout for a new place to live. However, with many of these treatments, they will actually be bringing the product back to whatever area they decide to inhabit next.
If you don’t experience a decrease in pest activity 7 to 10 days after our service, give us a call. Any return visits after the initial 7 days and within 30 days will be provided at no additional cost to you.
Are the products you use safe for pets and children?
At ABC, our top priority is your family, your pets and your home. We work with our customers to develop a treatment plan that is customized to your home. As a part of your customized treatments, our trained and skilled technicians will only use products that are specially formulated for residential use. In addition, we minimize the use of chemicals whenever possible and can provide you with Material Safety Data Sheets on all of the products we use.
Do you service commercial facilities?
Yes, ABC provides pest control services for commercial properties. Providing pest control for businesses requires a special skill set, which is why ABC has technicians that have gone through additional training to better serve our commercial customers. We are recognized as a leader in providing commercial pest control for a variety of different industries, such as restaurants, retail stores and schools.

“I really enjoy working with ABC, they are helpful and kind on the phone and over email. I use their annual plan, because Houston has lots of critters and the weather that just drives them right in your home. Jordan is my bug man, he’s very professional and helpful. He explained why all the bugs can get in and want to get in, which helped me understand my home better. He’s also awesome in communicating with me when he’s coming, and even helped me reschedule last minute. Highly recommend!”
