Plano has some of Collin County's oldest neighborhoods next to some of its busiest new development. That mix matters for pests. Homes built decades ago have settled foundations, aging wood and mature oaks that reach the roofline, which is exactly what termites, roof rats and German cockroaches look for. Around the Block Pest Control is a family-owned company that has served Plano since 2012. We drive down US 75 from our McKinney office to get to you.

Plano neighborhoods and the pests that come with them
Old Downtown Plano and the historic streets near 15th Street: Older homes, some on pier-and-beam foundations, and wood that has been around a long time. We check crawl spaces and sill plates for termites and look for roof rat trails along fences and power lines.
Willow Bend: Big trees, creek frontage and large landscaped lots. Overhanging limbs give roof rats and squirrels a path onto the roof, and damp shady beds bring ants and mosquitoes.
Around Legacy West and the Legacy business district: Restaurants, offices and dense multifamily housing. For businesses, our commercial program focuses on cockroaches, rodents and keeping records ready for inspections.
Homes near Arbor Hills Nature Preserve and Oak Point Park: Open prairie, woods and creek bottoms nearby mean field mice and seasonal invaders like crickets and millipedes.
1970s–'90s neighborhoods across central and east Plano: Cracked slabs, worn weatherstripping and older plumbing gaps let in German cockroaches and termites, which are hard to find without a trained eye.
Plano pests by season
Spring. This is when Plano homeowners usually find out they have termites, as winged swarmers come out by a window or slab crack after a warm rain. Older homes deserve a professional inspection every year.
Summer. Mosquitoes breed along White Rock Creek, Spring Creek and in backyard pools. Indoors, cockroaches peak in the heat.
Fall. Roof rats and mice head for attics. Read our Plano rodent prevention guide, then let us handle the trapping and sealing.
Winter. We do exclusion work, trim back rodent highways and keep up indoor roach control while it's cold.

Plano pest control FAQ
My Plano home was built in the 1980s. Should I get a termite inspection? Yes. Older slabs develop cracks and treatments wear off over time. We offer free termite inspections and WDI reports.
What's the scratching in my attic at night? In Plano, it's usually roof rats. They get on the roof from tree limbs and fences. We trap them, seal the entry points and tell you which branches to trim.
Can you help my restaurant near Legacy West or downtown? Yes. We service commercial kitchens and focus on cockroach and rodent control.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets? We explain every product we use, and we offer an organic program.
What if pests come back between visits? On our quarterly plan, re-treatments between visits are free.
