Homes in Garland and the pests that like them
Many homes in this part of Texas sit on a concrete slab. That means the floor rests right on the ground. There is no crawl space. Brick and vinyl siding are common too. Each style has small gaps where pests slip in. Pipes pass through the slab. Siding has seams. Attics get very hot in summer, so mice and other animals look for shade up there.
Some older houses sit on piers. Piers are short posts that lift the floor off the dirt. That leaves a dark, damp space below, which termites enjoy.
Hot, humid summers help ants, roaches, spiders, and crickets. Heavy rain pushes them indoors.
Signs of a hidden problem
Some pests stay out of sight. Look for clues:
- Tiny dark droppings in drawers, corners, or the attic
- Scratching or running sounds in walls at night
- Mud tubes, which are thin dirt tunnels, on a foundation or wall
- Piles of wings near windows after a swarm
- Wood that sounds hollow when you tap it
- Greasy smears along baseboards
- Itchy bites in a row after you sleep
One sign does not mean a disaster. It does mean you should have someone look. Request a callback to ask about a provider in our network who can inspect your home.
What providers in Garland usually handle
Most providers cover a mix of these jobs. Not every one does all of them, so ask.
- General pest control: ants, roaches, spiders, and crickets. Many offer a plan with visits through the year.
- Rodent and wildlife removal: mice, rats, squirrels, and raccoons. Good providers also close the gaps they used. That step is called exclusion.
- Termite treatment: a liquid barrier in the soil, or bait stations that sit around the home.
- Bed bug treatment: heat or targeted products, often with a second visit.
Myths and facts
Myth: A clean home cannot get pests.
Fact: Pests want water, food, and shelter. Clean helps. Sealed gaps help more.
Myth: No swarm means no termites.
Fact: Termites can chew inside wood for a long time before you see anything.
Myth: Store sprays fix it all.
Fact: Sprays can kill what you see. They often miss the nest, and some scatter roaches and ants.
Myth: Mice only come in during winter.
Fact: A very hot attic can push them inside in summer. Winters here are mild, so they stay active.
When DIY is fine and when to call
DIY is fine for small jobs. A few ants on the counter is one. So is a spider web in the garage. Wipe up crumbs, fix leaks, and caulk tiny gaps. Sticky traps help you learn what you have.
Call a provider when:
- The pest keeps coming back
- You see mud tubes or swarming insects
- You hear animals in walls or the attic
- You find droppings in more than one room
- You wake up with bites
Do not handle wildlife yourself. Animals can bite and scratch. A provider knows how to remove them safely.
What affects the cost
Prices vary by job. These are typical U.S. ranges, not offers:
- One-time general treatment: about $100 to $300
- Ongoing plan: about $30 to $70 per month
- Rodent removal with sealing: about $300 to $1,500 or more
- Termite treatment: about $500 to $2,500 or more
- Bed bug treatment: about $300 to $1,500 or more, depending on rooms
Home size, pest type, how bad it is, and the number of visits all change the price. Ask what is included and whether follow-up visits cost extra. Quote in writing, every time.
