Licensed local exterminators. Open 24/7. Prices published before we start.
Licensed local exterminators for termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, fire ants and mosquitoes across Nacogdoches County and the East Texas Piney Woods. Our line is answered 24 hours a day, most appointments are same day or next morning, and you get the price before we start.
General pest control runs $150–$300 for the initial treatment and $100–$150 per visit on a quarterly plan. We publish those numbers because almost nobody else in East Texas does.
220 King St, Nacogdoches, TX 75961 · TPCL #0842195, Texas Department of Agriculture
A termite swarm coming out of a baseboard at 7pm and a rat in the attic wall at 2am do not wait for business hours. We are based at 220 King St in Nacogdoches, not dispatching from Tyler or Houston, which is why same-day is a realistic promise here, not a marketing line.
Bed bugs, a wasp nest at a doorway or over a play area, a venomous spider indoors, rodents active in a wall, and a termite swarm emerging inside the house. Commercial premises where staying closed costs more per hour than the treatment.
Ants trailing across a worktop, a single spider, seasonal mosquito pressure, and routine quarterly maintenance. We will tell you honestly if yours can wait until morning at a lower cost, instead of selling you an after-hours call-out.
Nacogdoches, Lufkin and Diboll are realistically same day or next morning. Henderson and Rusk are normally next-day. Chester is by arrangement. You get a real arrival window before you commit, not afterwards.
Full detail on our emergency pest control page.
Twelve pest categories, all carried out by one of our four TDA-licensed technicians under Texas Pest Control Licence #0842195. Each page below explains the actual method and why we use it, not just that we offer it.
Liquid termiticide barriers and Trelona ATBS baiting. Pier-and-beam and slab foundations are inspected differently because termites reach them by different routes.
Read more →Whole-room heat for bed bugs (Cimex lectularius), held at a sustained 135°F, which reaches eggs and pesticide-resistant strains that sprays miss. Written prep checklist, follow-up inspection.
Read more →Trapping plus structural exclusion. Roof rats and Norway rats reach Nacogdoches attics through the pine canopy, so sealing the entry point is what stops the next ones following.
Read more →German cockroaches (Blattella germanica) need gel bait and growth regulators, not spray. We identify the species first, because the wrong method makes it worse.
Read more →Red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) treated with broadcast bait plus mound treatment. Treating the visible mound alone relocates the colony instead of eliminating it.
Read more →Barrier treatment on shaded resting sites plus larvicide in standing water. Doing only one is why yard treatments disappoint.
Read more →Brown recluse (Loxosceles reclusa) and black widow (Latrodectus mactans) are both native here. We treat garages, storage and crawl spaces where they actually sit.
Read more →Nests treated when the colony is inside, then removed. Colonies peak and turn defensive in July and August.
Read more →Indoors and yard treated together, because treating one side lets the cycle restart. Lone Star ticks concentrate at wooded boundaries.
Read more →Humane trapping under our wildlife permits, then exclusion so the same access point is not reused.
Read more →Documented IPM for restaurants, warehouses and managed property, with monitoring logs for health inspections.
Read more →Silverfish, earwigs, centipedes and scorpions. Usually a moisture problem first, a pest problem second.
Read more →Not sure which one you have? Send a photo when you call and we will tell you before anyone is dispatched. See all services.
Most homes here do best on a quarterly schedule, because with no sustained hard freeze a single treatment loses effect before the next pest cycle starts. One-off treatment for a specific problem is fine too, and we will say which one you actually need.
Four visits a year covering the exterior perimeter, entry points and interior harbourage. $100–$150 per visit depending on property size. Re-treat free between visits if a treated pest comes back.
For a specific problem you want dealt with now. $150–$300 for an initial general treatment. No obligation to convert it into a plan, and no charge for the inspection if we treat on the same visit.
High turnover and shared walls change how bed bugs and roaches spread, so a unit treated in isolation tends to be reinfested. We look at the whole building, not just the lease line.
Safety: you are told the re-entry interval for children and pets, for the specific product used, before anything is applied.
Restaurants, warehouses, offices, retail and managed property. The documentation matters as much as the treatment: monitoring logs, treatment records and corrective actions are what a health inspector asks to see.
German cockroaches, rodents and flies, treated with gel bait and growth regulators, because sprays cannot be used near food preparation. Scheduled before opening, after closing or overnight.
Pressure arrives with deliveries and through loading docks. Exclusion at the dock, a monitored perimeter and inspection of incoming goods do more than repeated spraying.
Cockroaches and bed bugs move between units, so a per-unit response usually produces repeat call-outs. Building-level planning costs less across a year.
More on commercial pest control.
Acreage, industrial sites and multi-unit residential fail differently from a single house. The pressure comes from the land and the perimeter inwards, not from inside out.
Barns, workshops, feed storage, loading docks and outbuildings. Rodents nest there first and move toward occupied buildings as nights cool. Snakes follow the rodents, which is why a snake sighting is usually a rodent problem underneath.
A monitored perimeter, exclusion at the points goods and people move through, and treating the outbuildings too, not only the main structure. Interior treatment alone gives a short-lived result on this kind of property.
Scheduled monitoring with logged inspections, so activity is tracked over time and you have a record for insurers, auditors or inspections.
These are the things Nacogdoches homeowners actually call us about, and what each one usually means.
Pencil-width soil tunnels up piers or slab edges. The clearest sign of subterranean termites, built because they will not cross open air. Termite control.
Tap the skirting and door frames. A hollow sound means internal damage, common in the older pier-and-beam housing around Raguet Street and the Downtown Square.
Capsule-shaped means rats, rice-sized means mice. Either way it means an active population, not a visitor. Rodent control.
Dome-shaped mounds in open yard are red imported fire ants. Treating the mound alone relocates the colony. Ant control.
German cockroaches produce a distinct odour. If you can smell it, the population is already large and mostly hidden. Cockroach control.
Digested blood, plus pale cast skins. More reliable than bites, which many people never react to at all. Bed bug treatment.
Termite swarmers. In daylight February to April it is native subterranean; after dark in late May it is Formosan, which is more urgent.
Photograph anything you find before disturbing it. Wings, tubes and damaged timber all tell us something, and moving them first makes the inspection harder.
Usually same day or next morning. We identify the species, the severity, the entry points and any moisture or sanitation conditions feeding it. No charge for the visit if we treat during that appointment.
Method, products, timeline and cost, before anything is applied. Including the re-entry interval for children and pets.
Carried out by a named, TDA-licensed technician. Whoever attends is recorded on your service record, never anonymous.
We come back to confirm it worked. On a maintenance plan, a treated pest returning between scheduled visits is re-treated at no extra charge.
That last line is the entire guarantee. There is nothing else buried in small print. See full pricing.

Three things you can check before you book: our licence number, TPCL #0842195, issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture; our address, 220 King St, Nacogdoches; and the names of the people who will be in your home. No competitor in this market publishes their technicians by name with individual specialities. It costs us nothing and it tells you exactly who you are dealing with.
More on our about page.
Naming the method matters, because it is the thing you can compare between quotes. A company that will not tell you what it is applying is not giving you a quote you can assess.
A treated zone in the soil around the structure. Termites moving between colony and house pass through it and carry the active ingredient back. Fast-acting, which suits an active infestation.
Monitored stations in the soil that foragers carry back to the colony until it collapses. Suits ongoing protection and properties where trenching would be disruptive.
For bed bugs. The room is held at a sustained 135°F long enough to reach eggs inside mattresses and wall voids, which is the stage sprays reliably miss.
For German cockroaches. Bait moves through the population by contact and feeding; growth regulators stop nymphs maturing into breeders. Broadcast spray does the opposite and scatters them.
For fire ants. Bait reaches the queen, mound treatment handles the immediate hazard. Mound treatment alone relocates the colony.
For rodents and wildlife. Sealing entry points with materials they cannot chew, screening vents, and removing the scent trails that lead the next ones to the same route.
IPM is a sequence, not a product. Find out what is present and what is sustaining it, fix the structural and sanitation causes first, monitor so activity is measured, not guessed at, and apply chemical treatment where monitoring shows it is warranted. The practical result is fewer treatments and a record of why each one happened.
We can use lower-toxicity products and non-chemical methods such as heat, exclusion and moisture correction, and for many jobs those are the right answer anyway. We will not claim a treatment is chemical-free when it is not, and we will tell you the re-entry interval for whatever we do use.
Two things drive pest pressure here and national pest guides get both wrong for East Texas: we average roughly 49 inches of rain a year against a Texas average near 29, and we get no sustained hard freeze. Nothing goes properly dormant.
Native subterranean termites (Reticulitermes) swarm in daylight once soil holds near 70°F. Fire ant mounds multiply after spring rain. Book termite inspections in February, before the swarm.
Formosan termites (Coptotermes formosanus) swarm after dark and fly to porch lights. Larger and more aggressive colonies than native. Mosquito pressure starts climbing.
Mosquitoes and roaches peak. Wasp colonies reach maximum size and are at their most defensive, which is when most stings happen.
Rodents move in once nights drop below about 65°F. October is the exclusion month; November is our busiest for indoor rodent calls.
Month-by-month detail, with swarm timings from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, on our East Texas pest calendar.
The product, where it goes, and the specific re-entry interval. Usually hours, not days, for a general treatment.
Treatment goes into harbourage, voids, perimeters and entry points rather than across open living surfaces and food preparation areas.
Hives, pollinator plantings, a vegetable garden, fish tanks, reptiles, or anyone in the household with respiratory sensitivity or a sting allergy. We work around all of it if we know in advance.
Every product we use is EPA-registered and applied under Texas Pest Control Licence #0842195.
Most pest control companies will not put numbers on a page. We do, because being told a price only once someone is standing in your kitchen is how people end up overpaying.
$150–$300. One-off first treatment covering interior harbourage and the exterior perimeter. No separate inspection fee when it converts into a plan.
$100–$150 per visit. Four visits a year. Includes free re-treatment between visits if a treated pest returns.
Quoted after inspection, because the price is driven by the structure, not floor area. A pier-and-beam house and a slab house of the same size are different jobs.
Property size and perimeter length, the pest species, how long the infestation has run, construction type, treatment frequency, and access difficulty for attics and crawl spaces. All six are explained on the cost page so you can compare quotes properly.
The inspection, the treatment, the products and the labour. No call-out fee and no fuel surcharge.
Full breakdown on our pest control cost page.
This is not marketing. The conditions here are genuinely worse than most of Texas, and they explain why treatments that work elsewhere underperform locally.
Roughly 49 inches of rain a year against a Texas average near 29 inches, and winter lows around 44°F. Subterranean termites need moisture and soil contact and have both nearly year-round. Populations are never reset by cold, they just move deeper into wall voids.
Lake Nacogdoches, the Angelina River corridor, Lanana Creek and Banita Creek create permanent breeding habitat for Culex and Aedes mosquitoes, the vectors behind West Nile virus in this region, that no single property owner controls. The pine canopy gives roof rats a route onto the roof and into the eaves, which is why attic rodent work here is a roofline job here, not a foundation one.
Older pier-and-beam construction around Raguet Street and the Downtown Square puts accessible timber close to damp soil. Newer slab subdivisions are breached at expansion joints and plumbing penetrations instead. Same city, two different termite inspections.
High turnover and shared walls concentrate bed bug and cockroach spread in a way detached family housing does not, which is why treating one unit in isolation usually fails.
This is the local knowledge that decides which method we use. It is also why we ask what your property backs onto before quoting.
We would sooner tell you honestly than sell you a plan you do not need. Some pest problems are genuinely a do-it-yourself job.
A single wandering spider. A few ants on a worktop with an obvious trail to seal. A wasp nest the size of a golf ball in early spring, well away from doorways. Emptying standing water to cut mosquito numbers.
Termites, at any stage, because the damage is structural and insurance almost never covers it. Bed bugs, because sprays miss eggs and scatter the population. German cockroaches, for the same reason. Rodents in a wall, because trapping without exclusion just makes room for the next one. Any nest you would have to climb to reach.
Store-bought spray at a German cockroach or bed bug infestation drives the population deeper into voids and contaminates surfaces, so the professional treatment that follows is harder, longer and more expensive than it would have been.
Longer comparison in our guides.
These genuinely reduce pest pressure and they cost nothing. We would sooner you did them yourself than paid us for a treatment you did not need.
A mouse needs a gap the width of a dime, a rat about a quarter. Door thresholds, weep holes, utility penetrations, crawl space vents and damaged soffit are the usual routes.
Branches touching or overhanging the roof are the motorway for roof rats. This is the single highest-value bit of yard work in Nacogdoches.
Pot saucers, bird baths, toys, tarpaulins, buckets, blocked gutters. Aedes mosquitoes breed in a volume as small as a bottle cap.
Pull mulch back from the foundation and store firewood away from the house and off the ground. Damp organic material against the wall feeds termites, ants, earwigs and the spiders that hunt them.
Airtight containers, not bags, and do not leave pet food down overnight. Applies to birdseed too.
Dripping taps, condensation under sinks, slow drains. Water draws more pests here than food does, because moisture is the limiting factor for most of them.
Call (936) 253-6378. The line is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and it reaches one of our technicians, not an overnight answering service.
What you are seeing, where in the property, and roughly how long it has been going on. A photo helps. If it is urgent, say so at the start and we will give you a realistic arrival time before you commit.
It genuinely changes how we treat, particularly for German cockroaches and bed bugs. It is not a problem, but knowing up front saves a wasted visit.
Nacogdoches County, plus Lufkin and Diboll in Angelina County, Henderson in Rusk County and Rusk in Cherokee County. Chester in Tyler County by arrangement. Same pricing everywhere.

General pest control runs $150 to $300 for the initial treatment and $100 to $150 per visit on a quarterly plan. Termite, bed bug and wildlife work is quoted after inspection. On those jobs the structure sets the price, not the floor area. There is no call-out fee and no fuel surcharge.
Nacogdoches, Lufkin and Diboll are usually same day or next morning. Henderson and Rusk are normally next-day. Chester is by arrangement. Our line is answered 24 hours a day and we give you a realistic arrival window before you book, not after.
Yes, when applied by a licensed technician. Treatment is targeted into harbourage, voids and perimeters, never sprayed across open living surfaces, and we tell you the specific re-entry interval for the product used before we start. It is normally hours, not days.
Quarterly is the standard here. Nacogdoches averages roughly 49 inches of rain a year and gets no sustained hard freeze, so pests never fully go dormant and a single treatment loses effectiveness before the next cycle begins. Termite protection runs on a separate annual monitoring schedule.
Native subterranean termites swarm in daylight from roughly February through April, once soil temperature holds near 70F. Formosan termites swarm after dark in late May and early June and fly toward lights. Wings under a porch light in late May points to Formosan, which is the more aggressive of the two.
If a treated pest returns between scheduled visits on a maintenance plan, we come back and re-treat at no extra charge. That is the whole guarantee. We do not claim total eradication, because no honest pest control company can.
Under the Texas Property Code, Section 92.052, landlords are generally responsible for treating infestations that affect health or safety. Responsibility can shift where a tenant caused the problem through sanitation. We document what we find and what we treat so that conversation is based on a record.
Yes. All work is carried out under Texas Pest Control Licence #0842195, issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture, and you can verify it before booking. Our four technicians are named on the website with their individual specialities, and whoever attends is recorded on your service record.
