Pest Control Service in Baytown

Living in Baytown’s humid subtropical climate surrounded by marshlands and swamps, residents shouldn’t be surprised by the types of insects and animals lurking around the area. Pests ranging from creepy crawlies to wildlife and rodents are able to squeeze their way into Baytown homes through cracks, weep holes, gutters, and openings around utility lines. What are they looking for? Warmth, food, water, and protection from predators. Pests in your home can be a nuisance— and worse— some pests like roaches and rodents can potentially transmit life-threatening diseases. It’s important to call a professional pest control company right away if you’re hearing noises coming from your walls or find droppings in your kitchen cabinets.

Wondering why homeowners in Baytown and the general Gulf Coast Region have termite problems? Well, not only is the local climate ideal for termites to reproduce and nest, but there are also a few different types of destructive termites found in the Gulf Coast. Three of the most prevalent termites in Baytown include drywood termites, formosan termites, and subterranean termites. Like all living creatures, termites need food to survive. Unfortunately, their main source of nutrition comes from what many homes are made from: wood.

How do you know if you have a termite infestation? With drywood termites, you typically won’t be able to tell. But with formosan and subterranean termites, you may notice a swarm of termites in your yard; small, dirt tunnels going from your yard to your home; tiny, seed-like pellet droppings that are the color of wood; or translucent wings near entry points into your home.

If you see any of these signs or if you just want to be proactive and have a professional termite exterminator in Baytown take a look, John Moore offers free termite inspections. If we find signs of termites, we will customize a treatment plan for your home and the termites we find. Our annual termite treatment plans use a combination of liquid and foaming termiticides as well as wood treatments that stop termites in their tracks. And as always, any chemical that we use has been risk-assessed and deemed safe for residential use by the EPA.

Mosquitoes breed in standing water, which Baytown has a lot of.  With marshes and swamps all around Baytown, you’ve probably had your fair share of mosquito bites over the years. And If your property has pockets of low-lying land, you’re bound to have mosquitoes stay and reproduce after a heavy rain. In the past, Houston homeowners were more likely to tolerate these pesky little bugs, but with hundreds of cases of the West Nile virus and Zika across Texas, you may want to consider long-term protection from mosquitoes around your yard and home.

When you call John Moore for mosquito control, we will first assess what’s causing them to favor your property. To keep them away for good, we need to eliminate their breeding grounds and create a chemical barrier that repels mosquitoes away from your yard and home. With John Moore’s Mosquito Plus program, our pest control specialists treat your yard for mosquitoes every other month with a top-performing mosquito repellent that also fends off other insects like roaches, ants, centipedes, and millipedes.
