212 providers listed
Houston's year-round warm climate means pest pressure never truly stops, with German cockroaches, American cockroaches (palmetto bugs), fire ants, carpenter ants, and various spider species remaining active through all seasons. Professional general pest control combines exterior barrier treatments that create a protective zone around your home's foundation, entry points, and vegetation with interior spot treatments in kitchens, bathrooms, attics, and other areas where pests are active. Most Houston pest control companies offer quarterly or monthly service plans that adjust treatments seasonally as different pests become active, with fire ants peaking in spring and fall, roaches surging during summer heat, and spiders increasing in late summer. Houston's Gulf Coast location also brings occasional invasions of crazy ants, millipedes, and crickets during particularly wet periods, and professional service includes identification and targeted treatment for whatever pest pressure your specific property faces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does general pest control cost in Houston?
Monthly pest control service in Houston typically costs $50 to $100 per month for a standard-sized home, with quarterly service running $100 to $175 per visit. Initial service is often priced higher ($150 to $300) because it includes a more thorough interior treatment and exterior barrier application. Larger homes over 3,000 square feet or properties on larger lots may cost $125 to $200 per month. Most companies offer discounts for prepaid annual contracts and bundle pricing if you add termite monitoring or mosquito control.
What pests are covered under general pest control?
General pest control in Houston typically covers roaches (German, American, Oriental), ants (except carpenter ants and fire ants, which may be separate services), spiders, silverfish, crickets, millipedes, centipedes, earwigs, and pantry pests. Most companies include fire ant treatment in their service, but carpenter ant treatment often requires specialized work. Rodents, termites, bed bugs, and mosquitoes are usually separate services requiring different treatments and pricing.
How often should I have my Houston home treated for pests?
Most Houston pest control companies recommend monthly or quarterly service depending on your home's pest pressure. Monthly service provides the most consistent control and is recommended for homes with ongoing roach or ant issues, properties near bayous or wooded areas, or older homes with more entry points. Quarterly service works well for newer, well-sealed homes in low-pressure areas. Houston's climate means you cannot skip winter treatments like you might in northern states, as pests remain active year-round.
