Pest Control in Lindale, TX

ABC has been serving Texas homeowners for over 75 years. From that experience, we know that focusing on prevention and treatment is more effective than just getting rid of pests when there is an infestation. Therefore, our technicians have a deep knowledge of the behavior, habits and life cycle of the most common household pests so we can provide you with the most effective solution. Our track record in successfully handling even the toughest of infestations has led to ABC being the largest independently-owned and operated pest control company in the state. One reason that we’ve gained such a loyal customer following is because of our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach.

IPM is utilized by many institutions, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This pest control model prioritizes solutions that are low impact and lower cost. This approach was developed using lessons learned from entomology, biology, animal behavior and horticulture to create a holistic way of considering the challenges these unwanted insects and animals can pose on your property.

In practice, this means that our technicians look around your property for any areas that could be seen as welcoming to pests and provide you with options to make these areas less attractive. This may include sealing off potential entry points, removing standing water, removing dense negation, putting mesh covers over outside vents and relocating firewood away from your home’s foundation to address some of the more common infestations.

At ABC, we know that pest control needs vary from house to house. There is no set treatment solution that will resolve every pest problem and no uniform plan that can end every infestation. And while we understand that it would be great to have no pests on your property after one or two treatments, it’s most effective to look at the longer-term view to make sure you are protected from pests in the future.

For example, mice, rats and other rodents are more likely to invade homes in the winter for warmth, and mosquitoes and roaches are more often found indoors during warm temperatures or after it rains. That’s why we often recommend that our Lindale customers sign up for ongoing treatments to make sure that your pest populations are kept under control throughout the year.

During our initial inspection, it’s important that you are home to answer any questions you have for our technicians, and so we can get a fuller picture of your pest control needs. During this in-person meeting, we may also inspect the interior of your home to see if there are any hiding spots for pests that you may have missed.

If you opt for outdoor-only treatments, you may not need to be home for your treatment visits. We understand that Lindale homeowners would rather be checking out the Old Mill Pond Museum or enjoying the Minneola Nature Preserve, while we are treating the outside of your home. In these cases, we simply ask that homeowners provide our technicians with any gate codes or instructions that they may need to treat your home. We also ask that our customers keep pets and children inside while we are treating the exterior of their homes.
