Home Extermination in San Antonio

San Antonio’s warm climate keeps roaches, ants, rodents, and scorpions active year-round in residential properties.

Did you know?

The 2021 Texas Freeze (Winter Storm Uri) caused a spike in rodent infestations that lasted for months. When temperatures plummeted, rodents and insects sought warmth indoors en masse.

What does home extermination include?

Home extermination covers treatment for all common household pests including rodents, cockroaches, ants, spiders, scorpions, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, and stinging insects like wasps. We’ll inspect your home, identify what pests you’re dealing with, and create a treatment plan specific to your situation.

How long does a typical home extermination take in San Antonio?

Most general pest treatments take 30-60 minutes depending on the size of your home and the severity of the infestation. More complex issues like bed bugs or extensive rodent problems may require multiple visits over several weeks. Roger will explain the timeline upfront during the inspection.

Do I need to leave my home during extermination?

For most general pest treatments, you don’t need to leave. We use EPA-approved products and apply them according to TDA safety guidelines. Roger will let you know if you need to vacate for any specific treatment (like bed bug treatment), but most services allow you to stay home.

How often should I get my San Antonio home treated for pests?

San Antonio’s warm climate means pests are active year-round, so quarterly service (every 3 months) is the most effective approach for prevention. If you’re dealing with an active infestation, we’ll treat more frequently until it’s under control, then move to a maintenance schedule.

What’s the difference between one-time treatment and ongoing service?

One-time treatment handles the current problem but doesn’t prevent pests from coming back. Ongoing quarterly service creates a protective barrier that stops new pests from establishing. In San Antonio’s climate where pests don’t die off in winter, ongoing service is usually more cost-effective long-term.

Will one treatment get rid of all the pests in my home?

It depends on the pest and the severity. Some pests like ants and spiders can be controlled with one treatment. Others like German cockroaches or bed bugs require multiple treatments to eliminate all life stages (eggs, nymphs, adults). Roger will be honest about what to expect during the inspection.

Are your home extermination products safe for San Antonio’s climate?

Yes. We use products rated for Texas heat and humidity. Some treatments break down faster in extreme heat, which is why we use commercial-grade products designed for our climate. We also time certain treatments for early morning or evening when temperatures are cooler for maximum effectiveness.

What should I do to prepare for home extermination?

For general pest treatment, minimal prep is needed. Clear clutter from areas where pests are active, move pet food and water bowls, and give us access to problem areas. For specific pests like bed bugs, we’ll give you detailed prep instructions. Keri will walk you through everything when he schedules the appointment.
