Very professional and knowledgeable. We did a lot of comparing companies in Houston for quality, price and who we felt we could truly trust. Hands down All-Pro Pest Control is the best company. Would highly recommend to anyone.

I was glad to be able to resume service with Cypress Creek Pest Control after a period of not using them because I didn't think they serviced my area of town. They are always prompt and reliable and provide quality service at a good price and always call me 30 min. prior to arrival.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Make it easier for your inspector to do a thorough assessment by preparing your home ahead of time. That includes:

Noting any signs of pests around the home
Removing obstacles in the way of the attic, basement, plumbing, garbage, and other key areas that inspectors will need to access
Keeping children and pets away from inspection areas

Due to the high temperatures used during heat treatments, many things must be removed from the area. The most vital things to ensure you remove are living things like pets and plants. To prevent damage to your belongings, you should also remove items such as electronics, flammable products, food, and anything else that the heat may damage.

Yes, wolves are generally afraid of humans, as well as most large carnivores, such as bears. The risk of a wolf attacking a human or killing them is very low. Biologists hypothesize that this fear was instilled over centuries of humans hunting wolves and the fact that humans have an upright posture like bears that wolves are also afraid of. Like all wildlife, it’s best not to feed wolves and keep them at a distance from yourself and your home.

The truth is you may not be able to get rid of a wasp nest without getting stung unless you hire an insect control specialist. As far as getting rid of wasps with home remedies, a far-reaching commercial spray or an insecticidal dust are your best options with the lowest risk of getting stung. Wearing protective gear can also help minimize stings.

DIY treatments exist, but professional extermination is recommended for thorough elimination and prevention.
