Pest control in North Garland 75044
North Garland is a generation older than Sachse next door: the median home in 75044 was built in 1986, and a third of homes date from before 1980. Older houses, mature trees and settled yards bring different problems from the new subdivisions to the north.
Texas pest control businesses are licensed by the TDA. The call carries no obligation.
What older housing means for pests
Forty years of openings. A house from the 1980s has had pipes, cables and satellite lines run through its walls, door sweeps worn flat, and caulking long dried out. Each opening is a route for ants, roaches and mice.
Mature trees reach the roof. Big oaks and pecans overhanging the roof give roof rats and squirrels a path to the attic, and leaf litter in gutters and beds shelters outdoor roaches.
Termite protection has lapsed. Many homes here were last treated long ago, if at all. Swarmers in spring and mud tubes along the slab or garage are the usual first sign.
Many are rented. About four in ten homes in 75044 are not owner-occupied. For owners of a rental house, between-tenant treatment and termite inspections are common calls.

Rodents in attics and garages. Rodent control

(866) 204-1244Questions people ask
Our house had a termite treatment years ago. Is it still good?
Probably not without renewal. Soil treatments and bait programs are time-limited, and a house from the 1980s may be decades past its last one. An inspection answers it.
Why rats in the attic and not just mice?
Roof rats are climbers. Mature trees with branches over the roof and utility lines to the house give them a direct route to soffits and vents.
Do older homes get more roaches?
They tend to have more gaps for outdoor roaches to use — worn door sweeps, old utility penetrations, gaps at the slab — and older plumbing gives drain roaches a way in.
