Common questions
Is the estimate really free?
Yes — calling costs nothing and the estimate carries no obligation. You decide after you have a price.
Do you handle both homes and businesses in Merkel?

Are the technicians licensed?

Why do ants swarm after it rains in Merkel?
Rain triggers activity and mating flights in fire and harvester ants that spend dry spells underground. Baiting programs timed after rains hit colonies when they're actively foraging.
Do West Texas winters end pest season in Merkel?
They slow outdoor insects, but push rodents and some spiders indoors. Fall exclusion — sealing entry points before the first cold fronts — is the highest-value pest work of the year here.
