Pest Control Service You Can Rely On
Safe, Science-Based Protection For Your Home & Family
Finding pests in your home is stressful. Whether you are hearing scratching in the attic, seeing ants in the kitchen, or noticing bites on your skin, you want a pest control service that solves the problem quickly and helps keep it from coming back. At Family Pest Control, we focus on restoring your comfort and protecting your home in a way that fits your family’s needs.
We have been serving local households since 1981 as a family-owned, woman-owned, and veteran-owned company. Our team includes Associate Certified Entomologists and technicians who are licensed by the Texas Structural Pest Control Service, and we draw on advanced training in chemistry, horticulture, and wildlife control. We treat your home with the same care and attention we use for our own, and our goal is to provide practical, economical solutions that you feel good about.
From fast relief for active infestations to long-term prevention, we work to give you clear answers, safe treatment options, and a straightforward path to a pest-free home. You can start with a free estimate for residential pest or rodent issues, then decide what level of protection is right for you.
How Our Pest Control Service Protects Your Home
When you contact our team, we want you to know exactly what to expect. We follow a consistent process that allows us to understand what is happening inside and around your home, then design a treatment plan that targets the root of the infestation. Our goal is to make the experience simple, respectful, and as non-disruptive as possible.
It starts with a conversation about what you are seeing or hearing, how long it has been going on, and any concerns you have about children, pets, or belongings. We then schedule a convenient time for one of our licensed technicians to visit. During the visit, we inspect key areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms, attics, crawlspaces, and the exterior of your home, looking for pest activity, entry points, and conditions that may be attracting insects or rodents.
Because we have certified entomologists on staff, we focus heavily on accurate identification. Different species require different approaches, so understanding the biology and behavior of the pests in your home helps us choose more targeted and efficient solutions. Once we have our findings, we walk you through what we discovered, answer your questions, and recommend a treatment plan that is tailored to your home and your comfort level.
During treatment, our technicians explain what they are applying, where they are working, and how long you should expect products to remain active. We pay close attention to safety, especially around kids, pets, and sensitive surfaces. After the initial service, we discuss what you can do to help reduce pest pressure, such as sealing gaps or addressing moisture issues, and we talk through options for follow up or ongoing maintenance if you would like continued protection.
Year-Round Protection With Our Family Basic Plan
Effective pest management is not only about reacting when you see bugs or hear noises in the wall. Many problems start small and stay hidden for a long time, which is why we believe in building a steady barrier of protection around your home. Our Family Basic Plan is a quarterly program designed to give you year-round coverage without tying you to a long-term contract.
With this plan, our team visits your home every three months. During each visit, we refresh exterior treatments, look for new entry points, and address any issues you have noticed since the last service. This schedule helps maintain residual protection, so pests are controlled before they become a full-blown infestation. You get the benefit of a consistent routine and a familiar technician who learns the details of your property over time.
The Family Basic Plan is a no-contract option, and there are no cancellation fees for ongoing maintenance programs. We want you to stay with us because you feel our service is working, not because of paperwork. Between scheduled visits, if you notice pest activity that concerns you, we remain available to return at no additional charge within the terms of your plan. This approach keeps the responsibility on us to deliver dependable results at every visit.
For many households, the Family Basic Plan offers a practical balance between cost and protection. You get professional oversight of your home throughout the year, and you can adjust your service as your needs change. If you are unsure whether a quarterly plan is right for you, we are happy to start with a single service and then discuss maintenance once your immediate concerns are under control.
Common Pest Problems We Handle
Pest issues show up in many different ways, from a trail of ants on the countertop to scratching in the attic or a line of termites along a baseboard. Our team is trained to handle a wide range of insects, rodents, and wildlife, and we work on both the visible problem and the conditions that allow it to continue. This helps keep your home safer and more comfortable over the long term.
Here are some of the pest and wildlife problems we commonly address:
- Bed bugs in bedrooms and living spaces that cause bites and loss of sleep
- Ants, including carpenter ants and fire ants, that invade kitchens, yards, and structural wood
- Roaches that spread germs and hide in warm, moist areas of the home
- Fleas and ticks that affect pets and can carry diseases
- Mosquitoes in outdoor areas that make it hard to enjoy your yard
- Rodents such as mice and rats that damage wiring, insulation, and stored items
- Termites that threaten the structural components of your home
- Wildlife issues, including animals in attics or crawlspaces, and related contamination
Our technicians also address the environment that pests are using, such as contaminated insulation or damaged attic spaces. We are certified installers of T·A·P pest control insulation, which provides both energy benefits and long-term protection against certain insects. As members of the National Wildlife Control Operators Association, we bring added training to wildlife and attic remediation, so you have one trusted team to call for both insects and nuisance animals.
Why Homeowners Choose Our Team
When you invite a pest control company into your home, you want to feel confident about who you are working with. Families choose Family Pest Control because we combine deep technical knowledge with a personal commitment to service that reflects our roots as a family-owned, woman-owned, and veteran-owned business.
We have been helping households since 1981, which gives us a clear understanding of the pest pressures in this region and how they change throughout the year. Our on-staff Associate Certified Entomologists and technicians with backgrounds in chemistry and horticulture work together to design biology-based barriers that go beyond simple spraying. This scientific approach supports more focused treatments and helps reduce unnecessary product use.
Several proof points show how we work to earn that trust:
- A satisfaction guarantee on all services, with available 30 day warranties on specific treatments for added peace of mind
- Free estimates for residential pest and rodent issues so you can understand your options before committing
- No cancellation fees for maintenance programs and a no-contract structure for our Family Basic Plan
- An A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and multiple Angie’s List Super Service Awards based on client feedback
- Active membership in the National Pest Management Association and the Texas Pest Control Association, which keeps our team engaged with current best practices
Many of our clients have stayed with us for decades, which reflects both the quality of our work and our focus on respectful communication. We take time to explain what we are doing and why, we listen to your concerns, and we remain available between scheduled visits when questions or new issues arise.
Is It Time To Call A Professional Pest Control Company?
Some homeowners are not sure when it is time to reach out for professional help. You might spot a few ants and wonder if it is worth the call, or you might hear noises in the attic but hope they will go away on their own. Knowing the common warning signs can help you decide when a trained technician is the right next step.
Consider contacting our team if you notice any of these situations:
- Droppings on floors, shelves, or in cabinets, especially in kitchens, garages, or storage areas
- Gnaw marks on furniture, baseboards, wiring, or stored items
- Scratching, rustling, or thumping sounds in the walls, ceiling, or attic
- Pests visible inside your home, even if you have only seen one or two
- Pets that fixate on walls, floors, or specific areas as if something is moving inside
- Unexplained bites or skin irritation that might be related to insects
- Neighbors dealing with pest issues, which can sometimes indicate wider activity in the area
Even if you are not seeing clear signs, preventive treatments can make a significant difference. Waiting until an infestation is severe often means more time, more stress, and potentially more damage to your home. We offer maintenance plans that are designed to deter pests before they gain a foothold, and we can help you choose the level of service that matches both your budget and your risk tolerance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Safe Are Your Treatments For My Kids And Pets?
We design our treatments with safety as a top priority, especially for children and pets. Our technicians are licensed by the Texas Structural Pest Control Service and trained to choose products and application methods that are appropriate for residential environments. During each visit, we explain where we are applying materials, how they work, and what, if any, temporary precautions you should take.
Our entomology and chemistry background helps us understand how products interact with insects and the environment, so we can focus on targeted applications instead of broad, unnecessary coverage. If you have specific sensitivities, medical conditions, or concerns, we encourage you to share them with us so we can tailor our approach. We want you to feel comfortable not only with the results, but also with how those results are achieved.
Do I Really Need Ongoing Pest Control If I Do Not See Bugs?
It is very common to assume that if you are not seeing pests, you do not need service. In reality, many infestations start in hidden areas such as wall voids, attics, and crawlspaces, and by the time you see visible activity, the problem may already be well established. Ongoing service focuses on building and maintaining residual protection so pests are less likely to get inside or reach the point where you notice them.
Our quarterly Family Basic Plan is designed around this idea of prevention. By visiting every three months, we can address seasonal changes, refresh treatments, and catch early signs before they turn into larger issues. Some homeowners prefer to start with a single visit and then choose ongoing service once they understand the benefits, and we are happy to work with you in either way.
What Happens During The First Visit To My Home?
During your first visit, our goal is to understand your situation clearly and give you a solid plan for moving forward. We start with a conversation about what you have seen, heard, or smelled, and we ask about any previous attempts you may have made to control the problem. Then we perform a careful inspection of key areas inside and outside your home, looking for evidence of pests, entry points, and conducive conditions.
Once the inspection is complete, we explain what we found, answer your questions, and recommend a treatment approach that fits your home and your comfort level. If you choose to move forward, we typically perform the initial treatment during that same visit, focusing on both the immediate source of the problem and the surrounding areas. We also discuss what to expect in the days following treatment and what steps we will take for follow up or maintenance if you decide to continue service.
Will I Be Locked Into A Long-Term Contract?
No, our ongoing maintenance programs are designed to be flexible, and we do not charge cancellation fees for those services. The Family Basic Plan is structured as a no-contract, quarterly option, which means you are not locked into a long-term agreement. Our philosophy is that we should earn your business each time we visit, not rely on a contract to keep you on the schedule.
If your needs change, you can adjust or discontinue your maintenance program without penalties. We are always willing to talk through options so your service level matches your comfort and your budget. This approach gives you control over how you protect your home while still benefiting from professional oversight.
How Quickly Can You Get Rid Of My Pest Problem?
Many infestations are significantly reduced, and sometimes eliminated, within one to two treatments, especially when addressed early. The exact timing can vary based on the type of pest, the severity of the infestation, and conditions in and around your home. During our inspection, we discuss what you can reasonably expect for your specific situation.
Our satisfaction guarantee and available 30 day warranties on certain treatments are in place to give you added reassurance that we stand behind our work. If pests persist within the covered period, we work with you to address the remaining activity. Our goal is to move you from frustration to relief as quickly and safely as possible, while also putting strategies in place to reduce the chance of future issues.
What Types Of Pests And Wildlife Can Your Team Handle?
Our team handles a broad range of insects, rodents, and nuisance wildlife that affect homes in this region. This includes ants, roaches, spiders, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, rodents such as mice and rats, and wood-destroying organisms like termites. We also address wildlife problems in attics and crawlspaces, such as animals that damage insulation or leave behind contamination.
Because we provide attic remediation and are certified installers of T·A·P pest control insulation, we can often manage the entire environment that pests are using, not just the insects themselves. If you are dealing with a pest that seems unusual or you are not sure what it is, we encourage you to contact us for an inspection. Our entomology training is particularly helpful in identifying less common species and recommending an appropriate strategy.
How Much Does A Typical Pest Control Visit Cost?
The cost of a visit depends on several factors, including the type of pest involved, the size and layout of your home, and whether you choose a one-time treatment or a maintenance program. Because every situation is a little different, we offer free estimates for residential pest and rodent issues. This allows us to assess your needs and provide pricing that reflects the actual conditions at your property.
We focus on practical, economical solutions and will explain the options available so you can make an informed decision. For many households, ongoing quarterly service can be a cost-effective way to reduce the risk of larger, more expensive infestations later. Our team is always open about what is included in your service and how any recommendations fit your budget goals.
