Local conditions
Common Pest Problems in Houston
Houston sits in Texas and Oklahoma, and the pests that call homeowners there follow the local climate and housing. The calls that come from Houston cover everything from ants and roaches in the kitchen to rodents in the attic, and the companies on the other end know the local housing, from slab homes to older basements and crawl spaces.
- Scorpions. Scorpions turn up in garages, block walls and landscape rock here, and they follow the insects they eat.
- Fire ants. Mounds appear in lawns and along driveways after rain, and the stings are painful for kids and pets.
- Brown recluse spiders. They hide in stored boxes, closets, garages and basements, so shake out stored clothing and shoes.
- Shared walls and older buildings. In denser parts of Houston, bed bugs, roaches and mice move between apartments and rowhouses through shared walls and plumbing chases.
- Termites and fire ants. Texas and Oklahoma sit in some of the heaviest termite country in the nation, and fire ant mounds spread across lawns and yards after rain.
Can it wait?
When to Call an Exterminator in Houston Right Away
- Bed bugs in the bedroom. Small rust-colored spots on the sheets, itchy welts in a line, or live bugs along the mattress seams. They spread room to room, so early matters.
- Rats or mice in the walls or attic. Scratching at night, droppings, gnawed wiring or a musty smell. Rodents chew wires, and a nest in the attic can start a fire.
- A wasp or hornet nest by a door. A nest where people walk or kids play is a sting risk, especially for anyone with an allergy. Don't knock it down yourself.
- Mud tubes or swarming winged insects. Pencil-wide mud tubes on a foundation, or winged insects drifting out of a wall in spring, point to termites.
- Animals in the attic or chimney. Thumping, chittering or a strong smell from the ceiling usually means squirrels, raccoons or bats. Rules on removal vary by state.
- Bites you can't explain. Welts on ankles can mean fleas, and clusters on the arms or neck can mean bed bugs or mosquitoes. See a doctor about a bad reaction.

Questions
Houston Pest Control FAQ
How much does pest control cost in Houston?
It depends on the pest and the size of the problem. In Houston, a one-time general treatment runs about $115 to $320, a quarterly plan about $85 to $200 a visit, a mouse trapping program about $195 to $595 and a whole-home termite liquid barrier about $1,150 to $3,500. Use the calculator on this page for your job.
Can I get an exterminator in Houston today?
The line is answered 24/7. Calls are put through to pest control companies working in Houston and across Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery and Waller counties, including late nights, weekends and holidays. Ask about the soonest visit when you call.
Do exterminators cover my neighborhood in Houston?
Yes. Calls come from all over Houston, including Colquitt Court, Memorial Forest and Timbergrove Manor Section 8, and from every ZIP code listed on this page in Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery and Waller counties.
Is termite risk high in Houston?
Texas sits in the very heavy termite zone, so a termite inspection is worth doing before you buy a house and again every year or two. A termite inspection report costs about $95 to $250 and is the one lenders ask for in many home sales.
What should I do before the exterminator arrives?
Don't spray store-bought products where you saw the pest, because it can scatter them. Keep kids and pets away from the area, put food in sealed containers and write down where and when you see the pest. Photos help the technician.
Who does the work?
An independent pest control company that works in your area. This site connects the call. The company inspects, explains the plan and the price, and does the work if you decide to go ahead.
Ready to talk to someone local? Call 855-926-0854 and you're put through to a vetted pest control company that works in Houston. Someone answers around the clock, and there's no obligation.
