Pest control for every part of McKinney
McKinney has grown fast, and pests follow the building. Here's what we see around town:
Stonebridge Ranch and Craig Ranch: Big irrigated lawns, golf-course edges and ponds mean fire ant mounds after every rain and plenty of mosquitoes in summer.
Historic Downtown and the older homes near the square: Pier-and-beam foundations, mature trees and older wood. We look closely for termites, roof rats and cockroaches.
Tucker Hill, Trinity Falls and the newer neighborhoods north of 380: New construction disturbs the ground, and ants, crickets, scorpions and field mice move into the new homes next door.
Towne Lake, Wilson Creek and homes near Erwin Park: Creeks and greenbelts bring mosquitoes, rodents and occasional invaders such as millipedes.
McKinney pests by season
Spring (March–May). Warm rain wakes everything up. Subterranean termites swarm on warm days after a rain, and ants show up in kitchens and bathrooms. North Texas clay soil holds water near the slab, and that moisture is just what termites and ants are looking for.
Summer (June–August). Mosquitoes breed in anything that holds water: birdbaths, clogged gutters, toys left in the yard, low spots where the clay doesn't drain. Fire ants, wasps and cockroaches peak in the heat.
Fall (September–November). When the first cool fronts come through, mice and roof rats start looking for a warm attic or garage. Crickets, spiders and other occasional invaders crowd around doors and foundations. A fall walk-around of your house now saves trouble later.
Winter (December–February). Rodents that made it inside stay busy in attics and walls. Indoor pests like German cockroaches don't take the winter off. This is a good time to seal entry points before spring.
Our McKinney pest control services
Residential pest control: Our quarterly plan covers the common pests North Texas homes deal with, inside and out, including garages. It starts with an inspection and a first treatment, then a follow-up visit 30 days later to break up egg cycles. After that we come back every quarter. If pests come back between visits, re-treatments are free. We also offer an organic option on a two-month schedule, plus one-time services.
Termite control: Free termite inspections, treatment, a one-year renewable warranty, and Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) reports for home sales.
Rodent control: Inspection, trapping, exterior bait stations and exclusion work to seal entry points.
Mosquito control: Yard treatments for spring and summer.
Ant, cockroach, spider, stinging insect, bird and bat control.
Commercial pest control for McKinney restaurants, offices, apartments and shops.

McKinney pest control FAQ
Do you really serve all of McKinney? Yes. We're based in McKinney and cover the whole city, from downtown to Stonebridge, Craig Ranch and the new neighborhoods north of 380. We also serve Allen, Plano, Frisco, Prosper and the rest of Collin County.
Why do I keep getting ants after it rains? Our heavy clay soil floods ant colonies out after a rain, and they move toward your dry slab and kitchen. A perimeter treatment plus a fix for any moisture problems usually takes care of it.
When should I worry about mice or rats? Fall is the main season in McKinney. If you hear scratching in the attic at night or find droppings in the garage, call us. We trap, then seal the entry points so they don't come back.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets? We explain what we're using and where before we treat. We also offer an organic program made with ingredients such as essential oils and boric acid.
What happens if pests come back between visits? On our quarterly plan, re-treatments between visits are free. Just call.
