Wise County, Texas
Pest control inDecatur, Texas.
Decatur is the biggest town we cover and it pulls two different kinds of work — commercial accounts around the square and newer subdivision houses on the edges of town.
What we see out here
- New slab construction hides termite damage until it reaches a wall, which makes the early inspection worth more here than almost anywhere
- Fresh sod and new landscaping in the newer neighbourhoods brings fire ants in with it
- Restaurants and offices near the square need documentation as much as treatment
Newer houses
A new house is not a house without termites, it’s a house where nobody has looked yet. Slab construction hides subterranean activity completely until it reaches framing, and the first sign is usually cosmetic damage that’s already expensive. An inspection on a five-year-old house is cheap insurance.
New landscaping is the other one. Sod, mulch and nursery stock all arrive with passengers, and fire ants establish fast in a yard that was bare dirt last season.
Commercial
Around the square it’s restaurants, offices and clinics, and the requirement is different. You need service scheduled around your hours and a record you can hand to an inspector. We keep that current rather than reconstructing it after the fact.
Closings
Decatur turns over enough property that WDI reports are steady work. If you’re an agent, the thing you care about is whether we can hit your date, and we’ll tell you on the phone rather than three days later.
What we handle in Decatur
General Pest Control
Quarterly service inside and out. Covers the usual roster — roaches, spiders, silverfish, crickets, ants.
Termite Protection
Inspections, liquid barrier treatments and ongoing protection. Subterranean termites are active in this county year-round.
Mosquito Treatment
Yard treatments on a schedule through the season, plus finding and killing the standing water they're breeding in.
Rodent Control
Trapping, baiting and — the part most companies skip — sealing the way they got in so it doesn't repeat next fall.
Ants and Fire Ants
Indoor trails and outdoor mounds are two different jobs. We do both, including full-yard broadcast.
Wasps, Hornets and Spiders
Nest removal and knockdown on eaves, porches, barns and shops. Including the high ones you'd rather not get a ladder out for.
Fleas and Ticks
Inside treatment plus yard and kennel areas. Country properties with dogs usually need both to get ahead of it.
Bed Bugs
Inspection, treatment and a follow-up visit. Discreet, unmarked arrival if that matters to you.
Real Estate Inspections
Wood-destroying insect reports for home sales and refinancing. Fast turnaround for agents and lenders in the county.
Commercial Accounts
Restaurants, clinics, offices, storage and shops. Service on your schedule with documentation you can hand an inspector.
