Wise County, Texas
Pest control inRunaway Bay, Texas.
Runaway Bay is a lake community, and nearly everything about the pest work here follows from that — water, seasonal use, and a lot of properties that sit quiet through the week.
What we see out here
- Mosquito pressure off the water runs higher and longer than it does inland
- Second homes and weekend properties are the easiest buildings in the county for rodents to occupy undisturbed
- Docks, boathouses and covered patios collect spiders and wasps faster than anything attached to the house
Weekend properties
A house nobody has walked into since Sunday is a house where a problem gets a full week’s head start, every week. Wasps build, rodents settle, and the first anybody knows is on a Friday evening when you’d rather be doing something else.
Scheduled exterior service is worth more on a part-time property than on a full-time one, for exactly that reason. You’re not there to catch it early, so it has to be caught for you.
Before you arrive
If you’re coming up for a weekend or opening a place back up for the season, a visit a few days ahead is better timing than the morning of. Treatments need a little time.
Docks and covered areas
Anything shaded and over water is prime spider and wasp habitat. It’s also the part of the property people most want to sit on. Worth including.
What we handle in Runaway Bay
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.
