Have you ever been outside enjoying an event in Longview, only to have it ruined by mosquitoes? Whether it's a backyard barbecue, tailgate, graduation party, or wedding, mosquitoes can make even the best events miserable.

Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to deter mosquitoes. The best thing you can do on your own is limit the amount of standing water on your property, including in the following areas:

• Kiddie pools
• Bird baths
• Empty tires
• Flower pots
• Tarps

Water can also build up in low-lying areas after heavy rains. Limiting standing water deters mosquito breeding and forces them to move on to more suitable breeding grounds.

Along with removing standing water, mosquito control from Gecko Pest Control can help keep your yard mosquito free. We use a combination of monthly fogging and fast-acting treatments to guarantee quick and permanent relief from mosquitoes.

Whether you have a big event like a graduation party you are preparing for or just want to enjoy grilling in the backyard without getting bit, call us today for effective mosquito control.

Termites are small pests that are capable of doing big damage to your Longview home. They have earned the nickname "The Silent Destroyers" for their ability to inflict damage without detection, and that damage can be pricey. Termites cause an estimated five billion in damages annually across the United States, with each bill costing at least a thousand dollars.

A termite control from Gecko Pest Control can protect your home, and your wallet, from these tiny pests. Our plans always include the following:

• A thorough termite inspection to determine if you have termites and the extent of the infestation
• A termite treatment quote based on the results of the inspection
• A custom termite treatment plan that includes soil treatment using EPA-approved products

Our termite control services eliminate the termites that are currently in your home. We will also put treatments in place to prevent future termites, so you don't have to worry about these pests silently eating away at your home again.

If you have fire ants on your property, you can't simply leave them there. Fire ants are among the most dangerous ant species on your Longview property because of the painful stings they freely give out to anyone who comes near them or their mounds. When you accidentally disturb a fire ant mound, you won't simply be stung by one ant but by dozens. While most healthy adults can withstand the pain that goes along with hundreds of fire ant stings, those same stings can have devastating consequences for older adults, young children, and people with compromised immune systems.

To prevent a fire ant infestation on your Longview property, try the following preventative steps:

• Eliminate leaky pipes and faucets around your house, both inside and out.
• Clean up trash and clutter around your yard.
• If you have pets, clean up their feces around your yard.
• Mow your lawn on a regular basis.

If you already have fire ants on your property, you need fire ant control services from Gecko Pest Control. We use a highly effective treatment that only requires one service to protect your property from fire ants for a full year. For fire ant elimination and prevention with as little hassle as possible, contact Gecko Pest Control today.

Bed bugs may have gotten their name because people often discover them in beds, but that is not the only place you can find them. These pests are nocturnal, so during the nighttime hours, they will come out to find a food source. Because most people sleep at night, bed bugs can typically find their most steady food supply in beds. That's why they are often in bedding, on mattresses and box springs, and between mattresses and headboards.

However, you can also find bed bugs in other locations. They like to hide, so any out-of-the-way area could be a potential home for bed bugs. In addition to beds, bed bugs are often in the seams of upholstered furniture, inside electrical outlets, in the corners of dresser drawers, in cracks in the floor along the wall, and even behind picture frames.

If bed bugs have gotten into your house, do not make the mistake of assuming that they are only in your bed. Many people believe they can simply wash their bedding or get a new mattress, and they'll be fine. Unfortunately, this usually leaves them dealing with their bed bug problem for much longer. Instead, professional bed bug control in Longview should be what you look for to eliminate your bed bug problem effectively. Gecko Pest Control provides bed bug control to rid your home of every last bed bug.

Discovering you have a flea infestation in your Longview home is not a pleasant discovery. Fleas are pests that can cause a lot of problems, not just physically with their bites, but also mentally and emotionally, because a flea infestation can be so hard to eliminate. Many homeowners try to get rid of fleas on their own, and the results rarely are what you want them to be. Here's what you need to know about effective flea control:

• Vacuuming your house will not get rid of your flea problem. Fleas often lay eggs deep in the fibers of your rug, and they don't get dislodged when you vacuum. Furthermore, if you don't immediately change your vacuum bag, the fleas can survive inside.
• Washing your bedding will not rid your house of fleas. Although it may kill the fleas on your sheets, especially if you wash and dry on hot cycles, it will not eliminate the fleas on your mattress or in other areas of your house.
• Making sure your pets are up-to-date on their flea treatments is essential to help avoid a flea infestation and save your pet a lot of misery.
• The best way to eliminate a flea infestation is to get a professional flea control treatment.

Gecko Pest Control offers flea control treatments that are effective at eliminating fleas in all stages of development, so you won't have to worry about a recurrence in the weeks or months to come.

When you begin to hear scratching or squeaking in your walls or see a furry little critter running alongside your baseboards, your first thought might be that it's time to get a cat. Although cats are known for their mousing abilities, you may want to rethink your rodent control plan. Rodents often spend time in your house in areas that aren't accessible to your cat, so that is unlikely to take care of your entire rodent problem.

The easiest way to get rid of rodents in your Longview home is to partner with a pest control company that has the knowledge, experience, and tools necessary to effectively eliminate and prevent rodents around your Longview home. Rodent control in Longview is available from Gecko Pest Control. We will conduct a detailed inspection of your house to identify where your rodent problem is, then use a combination of baiting and trapping to quickly and thoroughly get rid of your rodent problem.
