Services

Pest Control Services in Odessa TX for Homes and Businesses

We offer full service pest control, so one crew handles the pests inside, in the yard and in your walls. Every pest control service starts with an inspection. We find the pest, how it gets in and what draws it. Then we build a plan for your property instead of spraying every house the same way.

Residential Pest Control and Home Pest Protection

Our residential pest control is built for West Texas homes. Ants follow plumbing up through the slab, and scorpions walk in through weep holes. We treat inside where you see activity, then treat the foundation, eaves and doors and seal small gaps. It works for owners, renters and landlords. Don't feel bad if you have bugs. Clean houses get them too, because pests here want water and shelter.

Commercial Pest Control for Odessa Businesses

Commercial pest control in the Basin follows the oil economy:

  • Oilfield yards, man camps and RV parks: rodent stations and bed bug control.
  • Restaurants: roach and fly control ready for health inspections.
  • Apartments: building wide plans so pests don't hop next door.

We schedule visits around your hours, and every visit ends with a written service log you can show an inspector.

Pests we treat

What Pests Do We Treat in Odessa and West Texas?

Hot, semi arid West Texas pushes pests indoors for water and shade.

Scorpion Control in Odessa: The Basin's Top Nuisance Pest

Scorpions in Odessa homes are almost always the striped bark scorpion, which Texas A&M AgriLife calls the most common scorpion in Texas. Adults are about 2½ inches long. They climb walls and live in attics. AgriLife notes that in hot weather they may move into living areas to escape attic heat.

We start with a night inspection using a UV light, since scorpions glow under it. Then we seal weep holes, door sweeps and pipe gaps, and treat the attic and perimeter. A sting hurts and can swell. Call Poison Control at 1 800 222 1222 if someone reacts badly.

Tip: Shake out shoes and move firewood off the wall. See scorpion control in Odessa.

Termite Control, Inspection and Treatment

Yes, dry West Texas has termites. AgriLife's termite fact sheet explains how native subterranean termites live in soil and build mud tubes to reach wood. Watch for those tubes and spring swarms near windows. Our termite control service covers termite inspection and treatment, and termite and pest control can share one plan. Termite treatments include liquid soil treatment, bait stations, pretreatment for new construction and termite defense plans [confirm warranty]. We also write the official Texas report for home sales. See termite control and treatment and our real estate termite inspection page.

Rodent Control and Removal (Mice and Rats)

Cold nights push mice and rats indoors. Look for droppings and scratching in walls. Our rodent control and rodent removal starts with exclusion: we seal gaps with steel wool and copper mesh, then set traps and locked bait stations away from kids and pets.

Tip: Store pet food in sealed bins. See rodent control.

Roach Control (German and American Cockroaches)

Our cockroach control starts with ID. German roaches are small and tan and live in kitchens, apartments and restaurants. Large American roaches come up through drains. We use gel bait plus an insect growth regulator that stops breeding, then return for a follow up [confirm schedule].

Tip: Fix drips. Roaches need water more than food. See roach control.

Bed Bug Treatment and Control

Bed bugs ride in on luggage and used furniture. Look for bites in a line and rusty spots on sheets. We inspect, then use heat, targeted products or both [confirm methods]. The EPA's guide for landlords explains why landlords and tenants must work together. We treat homes, apartments and man camps. See bed bug treatment.

Ant and Fire Ant Control

Fire ants sting hard. Sugar ants come up around plumbing through the slab. For fire ants we use the Texas A&M Two Step Method: broadcast bait, then treat problem mounds. Indoors, baits let workers carry poison back to the nest.

Tip: Don't spray trails with cleaner. It splits the colony. See ant and fire ant control.

Mosquito Control for Yards and Patios

Mosquitoes peak after summer storms leave standing water. Some carry West Nile virus, which Texas DSHS tracks. We treat shrubs, fences and shady spots where they rest, and dump standing water. Numbers drop a lot, though no one can promise zero.

Tip: Tip out kiddie pools and buckets after rain. See mosquito control.

Spider Control (Black Widows and Brown Recluse)

Texas DSHS describes the black widow by its red hourglass and the brown recluse by the violin mark on its back. Both hide in garages, woodpiles and boxes. We sweep webs, treat cracks and voids, and treat the bugs spiders eat.

Tip: Wear gloves. See spider control.

Flea and Tick Control

Fleas and ticks ride in on pets, and the brown dog tick can breed indoors. We treat the house and yard on the same visit so they can't return from one to the other. Flea control and tick control work best when you treat your pet at the same time.

See flea and tick control.

Bee and Wasp Control

Bee control starts with safety. Wasps build nests under eaves and in grills. We remove nests and treat the spot so they don't rebuild. Honey bees here can be Africanized, so keep kids and pets away. We refer live colonies to a beekeeper where we can [confirm policy].

See bee and wasp removal.

Wildlife and Snake Removal

West Odessa and Gardendale lots back up to open land, so rattlesnakes, skunks, raccoons and pigeons find homes. Our wildlife removal and snake control team removes animals humanely and seal openings under sheds and decks [confirm the tenant offers this and holds any required permits].

Tip: Keep grass short and clear junk piles. See wildlife and snake removal.

Fly Control and Occasional Invaders

Blow flies gather at dumpsters and restaurant trash. Crickets, beetles, earwigs and silverfish swarm in after rain or in fall. We treat the perimeter, door frames and lights, and help restaurants with trash routines. Occasional invaders control keeps these pest problems short.

See general pest control.

Pest and Weed Control for Lawns and Lots

Goatheads flatten bike tires. We can add weed control to a pest visit, treating goatheads before they set seed, plus fence lines and commercial lots [confirm the tenant holds a TDA weed control license]. One crew handles pest services for yard and house.

Tip: Pull goatheads early in summer. See pest and weed control.

How it works

Our Process

Every job follows the same five steps. You know what we do and why.

  1. Inspect

    We walk your home inside and out and look for signs of pests.

  2. Identify

    We name the pest and find how it gets in and what draws it.

  3. Treat

    We treat where pests live, using the least product that works.

  4. Seal & Prevent

    We close gaps, weep holes and pipe openings so pests stay out.

  5. Follow up

    We come back to check our work and treat again if needed.

Eco Friendly Pest Control and Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

We follow integrated pest management. The EPA's IPM principles come down to this: identify the pest, prevent it first and use the least risky control that works. These are safe pest treatments: we follow every EPA product label. Kids and pets stay off treated areas until dry, about [Minutes] minutes [confirm per label].

FAQ

Odessa TX Pest Control: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does pest control cost in Odessa, TX?

Most Odessa homes pay $[Price] to $[Price] for a one time general treatment and about $[Price] per visit on a quarterly plan. Price depends on home size and the pest. Termite, bed bug and rodent jobs are quoted after a free inspection.

Are scorpions in West Texas dangerous, and how do I keep them out?

The striped bark scorpion is most common here. Its sting is painful and can swell. Call Poison Control at 1 800 222 1222 if someone reacts badly. To keep them out, seal weep holes, add door sweeps, move firewood and add a perimeter treatment.

Do you offer same day or emergency pest control in Odessa?

Yes. Same day service is available, so call early in the day for the best chance at a visit today. We put urgent problems first, like scorpions in a bedroom, wasps by a door or a restaurant facing an inspection. Call or text [Phone]. [Confirm 24 hour availability before publishing.]

Do termites live in dry West Texas?

Yes. Native subterranean termites are the most common kind in Texas. They live in soil and follow moisture to slabs, wood and leaky plumbing. Spring swarms and mud tubes on the foundation are the main signs. An inspection confirms activity before you pay for treatment.

How often should I get pest control?

Most homes do well with quarterly service, because the heat keeps scorpions, roaches and ants active much of the year. Homes near open land with heavy scorpion activity, and businesses like restaurants and apartments, often need monthly visits. A free inspection sets the right schedule.

Are your pest treatments safe for kids and pets?

We follow integrated pest management and use EPA registered products according to the label. Baits go where kids and pets can't reach them. For most sprays, people and pets stay off treated areas until dry, about [Minutes] minutes. We explain any prep first.

Do you serve Midland, West Odessa and Gardendale?

Yes. We serve all of Odessa and Ector County, including West Odessa and Gardendale, plus Midland and nearby towns like Monahans, Andrews, Kermit and Crane [confirm list]. Rural acreage is welcome. Call [Phone] to confirm a time for your address.

Do you do termite inspections for home sales?

Yes. We inspect for wood destroying insects for buyers, sellers and lenders and fill out the official Texas Wood Destroying Insect Report. Most reports are ready in [Days] days. If we find activity, you get a written treatment estimate to use in talks.
