Insects and rodents come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. However, insects should never come into your home or business. These pests belong outside, yet they often find their way inside, lured by the comfort and food your building provides them with.
If rodents or insects have made themselves at home in your house or office building, rely on the rodent and insect control services of Pioneer Exterminating Company. For over 40 years, our rodent and insect control treatments have kept Houston, TX, buildings free of pests, and we can protect your building as well.
Each pest has its own method of finding its way into your home. For example, bedbugs often attach themselves to suitcases and hitch a ride from a motel to your house. Subterranean termites, on the other hand, build mud tubes to gain entrance into a building. And mice enter buildings through holes in the walls, foundation, and floors.
Here at Pioneer Exterminating Company, we are familiar with each insect and rodent’s style of entrance, nest-building, and damage. This helps us come up with the most effective treatment plan for whatever pest has avoided your building. Whether you have cockroaches in the kitchen, squirrels in the attic, or fleas in your bedding, we can get rid of the problem and take steps to keep it from recurring.
Our first priority is our customers. That’s why we offer cost-effective and environmentally friendly treatment methods. You shouldn’t have to worry about the state of your budget or the safety of your family, employees, or customers when paying for insect control services. At Pioneer Exterminating Company, we make sure you don’t have to.
Cockroaches spread human disease by depositing disease organisms on food and utensils. The American cockroach, which comes into contact with human excrement in sewers or with pet droppings, may transmit bacteria that cause Salmonella and Shigella. German cockroaches are believed to be capable of transmitting disease-causing organisms such as Staphylococcus, hepatitis, and coliform bacteria. They also have been implicated in the spread of typhoid and dysentery.
Recent studies have found a strong association between the presence of cockroaches and increases in the severity of asthma symptoms in individuals who are sensitive to cockroach allergens.
Cockroaches may become pests in homes, restaurants, hospitals, warehouses, offices, and virtually any structure that has food preparation or storage areas. These pests are common even in the cleanest of crowded urban areas and older dwellings. It's usually not difficult to discover an infestation, because they are often visible. Treatment usually involves sealing cracks and crevices to block entrance; keeping food and trash areas clean to avoid providing food; and the professional application of insecticide and bait on a regular basis.

Rodents consume and contaminate food. They also gnaw on electrical wires, wooden structures, and tear insulation in walls and ceilings for nesting. Rodents can also transmit disease to humans, pets, and livestock. They have been found to transmit typhus, leptospirosis, trichinosis, and salmonellosis.
The presence of mice and rats is usually detected by the damage they cause to food and structures, by their droppings, and by their nests. Treatment involves eliminating all entry points and population reduction by the application of rodenticides and traps. Learn more.
Ants cause various types of damage, depending upon the variety. Carpenter ants tunnel through wood, destroying structures. Pharaoh ants may transmit serious diseases. A fire ant's sting is potentially deadly to susceptible individuals, and all ants contaminate the food they infest.
Ants build massive colonies, so their presence is generally detected when you see their nests, or the ants themselves. Treatments involve baiting, insecticide, and sealing off entry to buildings.
Except for poisonous spiders, such as the black widow and the brown recluse, spiders are not harmful to humans. When it's important to control spiders, chemical control is used, along with destruction of webs and eggs. Since they feed on insects, measures that control unwanted insects will also reduce spider populations.
Bees, wasps and scorpions are dangerous because of their painful and potentially harmful stings.
Wasp nests and bee hives can be removed by professionals with protective gear. Insecticides are also used. Scorpion problems are usually treated chemically.
