Wasp nest, bed bugs, or a swarm right now?
- 1Do not spray a wasp or hornet nest in daylight; colonies sting in numbers and survive.
- 2For bed bugs, stop moving mattresses and luggage between rooms, which spreads them house-wide.
- 3For a termite swarm indoors, bag a few insects for identification and leave the rest.
- 4Then call the companies above and ask for same-day or next-day treatment.

What does pest control cost?
National research range
$100 to $300 per visit
Quarterly recurring service runs about $100 to $200 per visit; one-time treatments and specialty work like termites cost more. U.S. research ranges, not University Park quotes.
See the full Pest Control cost guideWhat moves the price
- One-time treatment versus a quarterly plan, which almost always costs less per visit.
- The pest itself: general ants and roaches sit at the low end, termites and bed bugs are their own category.
- Square footage and whether the crawlspace, attic, and yard perimeter are included.
- Follow-up visits: ask whether re-treatment inside the warranty window is free.
Ask companies to confirm these in writing. One request above reaches up to three.
Common pests in University Park
What companies here get called for. 6 of these 8 usually need a recurring plan.
Subterranean termites
Humid weather for most of the year means the soil stays damp enough for termite colonies to keep working well beyond swarm season. In University Park, that makes a yearly inspection worth it, since damage can build quietly behind walls and under floors.
What treatment involves. Liquid soil barrier or a monitored bait system, plus an annual inspection.
German cockroaches
Check under kitchen and bathroom sinks, behind the refrigerator, and around the dishwasher, where they hide close to water and food. Small dark specks like pepper and a musty smell give them away. Wipe up crumbs and fix drips first, then call for gel baiting.
What treatment involves. Gel baiting with follow-up visits. One spray rarely finishes it.
Mice
Listen for scratching in walls at night and look for droppings along baseboards, inside pantry corners, and behind appliances. Mice squeeze through gaps about the size of a dime. Walk your foundation and utility lines now, and note every gap you find.
What treatment involves. Exclusion first, sealing entry points, then trapping and monitoring.
Bed bugs
Look for tiny rust-colored spots on sheets, shed skins along mattress seams, and bites in a line on arms or legs. If you suspect them, do not drag bedding or luggage through the house. Bag it where it is and call a pro.
What treatment involves. Heat treatment or a multi-visit chemical program, with follow-up inspection.
Roof rats
Roof rats usually leave clues overhead, like scurrying in the attic, gnawed wires, and greasy rub marks along rafters and roof edges. Trim tree limbs that touch the roof and check vents and soffits for gaps. Baiting alone will not close the way in.
What treatment involves. Attic and roofline exclusion plus trapping. Baiting alone leaves the entry open.
Fire ants
Warm, humid conditions let fire ant colonies stay active across most of the year in University Park, and wet soil pushes mounds up into lawns and along foundations. Keep kids and pets off fresh mounds, and never pour gasoline on them.
What treatment involves. Broadcast bait across the yard plus individual mound treatment.
Scorpions
Scorpions hide in cool, dark spots like shoes, stacked firewood, pool equipment, and the folds of towels or bedding shaken out in the morning. Shake out shoes before putting them on. Seal gaps around pipes and weep holes, and clear leaf piles from the foundation.
What treatment involves. Perimeter treatment plus sealing at plumbing and weep holes.
Mosquitoes
Walk your yard and tip out anything that holds water, like plant saucers, buckets, toys, and clogged gutters. Bites usually come near shaded spots by patios and dense shrubs. Dumping standing water weekly stops breeding right at the source and costs nothing.
What treatment involves. Source reduction plus barrier treatment on resting sites, repeated through the season.
Pest control plans and what they cover
Two pest control quotes rarely cover the same thing. Each service below has the one question that makes quotes comparable.
Recurring general pest plans
A technician treats the outside perimeter and entry points, refreshes bait stations, and treats inside only where pests are active. Most plans include free return visits.
Six of the eight pests common here usually call for a recurring plan, including German cockroaches, mice, roof rats, fire ants, scorpions and mosquitoes. That makes a quarterly plan worth pricing first. Ask each company to list exactly which of those pests it covers.
What moves the price. Home size, which pests are covered, how often visits come, and the heavier first visit.
Ask before booking. Which pests does the plan cover, and which ones, like termites or rodents, cost extra?
The honest part. Most general plans leave out the expensive problems. Termites, bed bugs and rodent exclusion are usually separate contracts, so read the exclusions before comparing prices.
Termite treatment, liquid or bait
A liquid treatment puts termiticide in the soil so termites cannot reach the wood. A bait system uses monitored stations that termites carry back to the colony.
Subterranean termites are the one termite type on this state's list, so your quote should name them and explain how the treatment reaches the soil around your foundation. Ask how a bait system would be monitored and who services the stations.
What moves the price. The perimeter length, slab or crawlspace, any concrete drilling, and the bait monitoring visits after.
Ask before booking. Which method suits this house, and what does the warranty require me to pay each year?
The honest part. University of Florida research found baits eliminate the colonies that feed on them, while liquids mainly keep termites out. Bait stations nobody services protect nothing.
Termite warranties and renewals
An annual renewal keeps the warranty in force with a yearly inspection. Retreatment-only means treating again; repair-and-retreatment also pays for new damage up to a limit.
Ask each company to email the actual warranty document before you decide, and read what voids it, such as soil changes or missed renewals. Compare the annual renewal fee across quotes, and confirm whether repair coverage has a dollar cap.
What moves the price. The warranty type, its repair limit, the size of the structure, and whether it transfers on sale.
Ask before booking. Is this retreatment only, or does it pay to repair new damage, and up to what amount?
The honest part. With retreatment only, every repair bill is yours, and homeowners policies exclude termite damage. Ask for the warranty document itself and what voids it.
Termite inspection for a home sale
A wood destroying insect inspection documents termite evidence, damage and conducive conditions, usually on the NPMA-33 form. VA loans require one in moderate to heavy termite areas.
Book the inspection early enough that any findings can be negotiated before closing. Ask for the written report and photos, and request a separate quote from another company if the first one also sells the treatment it recommends.
What moves the price. House size, crawlspace and attic access, detached structures, and how fast the report is needed.
Ask before booking. Will the report be on the form my lender accepts, and how long does it stay valid?
The honest part. An inspection covers what is visible that day, not what sits behind finished walls. A company that also sells the treatment has a reason to find something.
Rodent exclusion
Finding and sealing the gaps mice and rats use at the foundation, roof line, vents and utility lines, then trapping what is inside. Sealing ends the problem.
Both mice and roof rats are on this state's list, and they enter differently, with mice near the foundation and roof rats along the roofline and into attics. Ask any company to inspect both levels and quote the sealing work separately.
What moves the price. The number of entry points, roof and attic access, sealing materials, and follow-up trap checks.
Ask before booking. Is sealing the entry points in this quote, and is the work guaranteed if they get back in?
The honest part. Bait boxes on a recurring plan manage rodents outside but do not stop them coming in. A quote without sealing work is monitoring, not exclusion.
Mosquito and tick programs
A seasonal program treats the shaded foliage where mosquitoes rest and the yard edges where ticks wait, and clears standing water. Each treatment wears off, so it repeats.
Mosquitoes are the one biting pest on this state's list, so ask how many treatments a seasonal program includes and when it starts and ends. Empty standing water yourself, since neighboring yards can keep sending more mosquitoes your way.
What moves the price. Yard size, how much dense planting there is, the number of visits, and whether ticks are included.
Ask before booking. How many visits does the season include, and what do you do about standing water here?
The honest part. Barrier treatments reduce mosquitoes but do not eliminate them, and neighbouring yards keep supplying more. Emptying standing water stops breeding, and you can do it yourself.
One-time treatments
A single visit for one specific problem, such as a wasp nest, a pantry infestation or an isolated ant trail, without signing up for a recurring plan.
Use a one-time visit for something clear and contained, like a wasp nest or a single ant trail. Ask whether any follow-up is included, and what happens if the pests come back, so a low first price does not turn into a second bill.
What moves the price. The pest, how established it is, how many rooms or nests are involved, and any follow-up.
Ask before booking. Is a follow-up visit included if the problem comes back within a few weeks?
The honest part. One visit suits some pests and not others. German cockroaches, bed bugs and most ant colonies need follow-ups, so a one-time price there usually means paying again.
What the University Park climate means for pests
- The climate here is humid for most of the year, and warm humid conditions favour cockroaches, termites and moisture pests, and there is no real seasonal break in activity.
Climate class from DOE Building America county zones.
Six checks before you sign a pest control contract
Pest control is a licensed trade, so start with the state license. The rest is what the contract commits you to.
Check the applicator license
Applicator certification here is handled by the Texas Department of Agriculture. Ask for the license number and the certified applicator's name, then confirm both.
Find the agency's contact details (NPIC)Get an inspection before a termite or rodent price
Plans can be quoted from house size, but termite and rodent work cannot. A phone price before anyone inspects the house is a guess.
Compare the first visit and the recurring price separately
The first service usually costs more than routine visits, so two equal quarterly prices can mean very different totals in the first year.
Read the contract length and how to cancel
Many plans renew automatically or carry a minimum term. Ask how you cancel and whether a fee applies before you sign, not after.
Ask about free return visits
Most plans send a technician back between services if covered pests return. Ask whether that is included and how soon they come.
Ask what product is being used
Ask for the product name, and follow the technician's directions from its label on when people and pets can go back into treated areas.
When to book pest control in University Park
Spring
Termite swarm season and ant season kick off; the best month for a preventive perimeter treatment.
Summer
Peak mosquitoes, wasps, and roaches; recurring plans earn their keep now.
Fall
Rodents move indoors as nights cool; seal entry points before the first cold week.
Winter
Quietest booking season; good time to negotiate an annual plan.
