Uncertain, TX Pest Control

Uncertain is a small town in East Texas located on the banks of the beautiful Caddo Lake. As interesting as the name of this town is, no one seems to know how it got it. The name is as mysterious as the hundreds of potential Bigfoot sightings that have occurred in this area.

Mosquitoes are annoying and dangerous pests. You can recognize their telltale buzzing from a long way off, and hearing it will probably drive you inside quickly. While mosquitoes can be difficult to control, knowing why they are attracted to your property can help you take steps to limit their numbers on your property.

Mosquitoes are attracted to your property for a variety of reasons, but standing water is the main attraction for these biting pests. Mosquitoes need standing water to breed, and even the smallest amount is enough. Water can collect in many objects around your yard, including:

• Birdbaths
• Flowerpots
• Empty tires
• Kiddie pools
• Tarps
• Low-lying areas

Aside from eliminating these areas of standing water, a mosquito control plan from Gecko Pest Control will keep your property mosquito-free.

Our mosquito control services include quick-acting treatments to remove mosquitoes and a monthly fogging service that applies treatment around your property to keep your mosquito problem from returning. This allows you and your family to enjoy time outside without worrying about mosquitoes.

Stinging insects are common here in East Texas. Anyone who has spent any time outside has probably had a run-in with a wasp, hornet, bee, or yellow jacket at least once, and you know how painful their stings can be.

To avoid these potentially dangerous pests and their painful stings, you need to do what you can to limit them around your property. Here are some ways you can prevent stinging insects:

• Seal cracks and crevices around your home
• Don't leave food out and uncovered
• Use fans to drive away mosquitoes
• Avoid wearing dark colors, floral prints, or strong fragrances

If you find a stinging insect nest around your home, do not attempt to remove it on your own. Stinging insects will react aggressively if they feel threatened, and trying to remove the nest by yourself can leave you at risk for painful stings.

Stinging insect control from Gecko Pest Control goes a long way in protecting your family from bees and wasps. We'll safely remove any nests around your home and help you prevent them from returning, so you and your family can spend time in your backyard without worrying about being stung.

Termites are not the type of pest that Uncertain homeowners should try to deal with on their own. There is simply no replacement for professional services when looking to either prevent or eliminate termites. One of the biggest benefits that professional services can provide is reliable prevention of termites. Trained technicians can give homeowners advice on subtle habit changes that can work to deter termites and can implement treatments that take a proactive stance against termite populations. Pest professionals are also capable of providing annual termite inspections to determine areas of potential concern so that homeowners can make any necessary changes.

If termite problems have already occurred, then professional treatments are the most effective way to put a stop to them. Some termite colonies can grow as large as two million members, while others can be in the thousands. Either way, termites will eat wood all day every day until they are stopped. Professionals have access to the most effective and proven products that can get rid of termites completely.

At Gecko Pest Control, we customize our services to our customers’ needs. We pair inspections with the proper treatment method, which might entail trenching and treating or applying Termidor®. Either way, we always guarantee the termite services that we provide. For more information on termite control in Uncertain, please call us today.

Fire ants are some of the most concerning ants that you might see on your Uncertain property. They are capable of stinging people, which can lead to serious health effects such as nausea, vomiting, body aches, and difficulty breathing.

If you’re wondering why you have fire ants, here are some of the reasons why:

• Your property has areas of stagnant water or leaks.
• There are sweet and syrupy foods or traces of meaty oils that were left on the grill.
• The garbage hasn’t been taken out in a while.
• Your property has other pest infestations, which are prey for fire ants.

If you notice fire ants on your property, Gecko Pest Control can help you get rid of them. We provide comprehensive property assessments in order to understand what’s attracting fire ants and then we create a unique treatment plan in order to eliminate and prevent them. We even guarantee the results. For more information on fire ant control in Uncertain, call us today.

The rodents that enter Uncertain homes can be the source of health issues such as tularemia and salmonellosis, and they can also cause severe property damage. These pests make their way indoors by way of very small openings that most people don’t even know exist. Rodents are attracted to food and water as well as the promise of safe shelter. When you're looking for a reliable way to prevent and eliminate rodent problems, look no further than Gecko Pest Control.

We are a locally owned company that has more than 20 years of experience in the pest control industry. Our staff has a level of training and expertise with rodents that you won’t find elsewhere. We also have a certified entomologist on staff, so our rodent treatments have taken a comprehensive array of factors into account.

In order to determine the best course of action for a specific home, we'll first perform a total home inspection. Once we have the necessary information, we’ll create a treatment plan that is specific to our customer’s needs. We use the latest tools and techniques and we guarantee the results. We also provide tips on limiting exposure to rodents between our visits. For more information on rodent control in Uncertain, call us today.

The bed bug problems that Uncertain residents face are always best left to professionals. To start, these sorts of infestations are often located in places that average people can’t reach; for example, bed bugs thrive inside mattresses and other pieces of furniture. This fact makes determining the presence of an infestation challenging. A pest professional will be able to locate bed bugs in the most hidden areas through the implementation of detailed inspections. It can also be tricky to determine the extent of an outbreak because bed bugs come out at night.

Another reason why professional services are so important when addressing bed bugs is that these infestations can grow unwieldy. A female bed bug can lay between one and seven eggs for ten days after she’s had a blood meal, and she can lay well over 100 eggs in her lifetime. These offspring usually start laying their own eggs after approximately four weeks, which means that infestations can grow out of control very quickly. Professional services will be able to address an infestation in its entirety. They will also utilize safe methods and products that have been proven effective instead of exposing yourself and your family to damaging products from the store. For more information on bed bug control in Uncertain, call us at Gecko Pest Control. 

When it comes to distinguishing flea bites from the bites of other pests, there are a handful of things to look for. Those include small bites surrounded by a round ring, swelling that appears after being bitten, bites that are mostly found on the ankles and legs, and bites that are extremely itchy. Flea bites are also likely if you’ve been in areas where there might be fleas, or if there are fleas on your cats and dogs.

When it comes to keeping fleas away from your home or place of business, look no further than Gecko Pest Control. We provide free initial inspections to determine the extent of flea problems around your property as well as the factors that lured them in the first place. When we treat your property, we use EPA-approved products and proven methods on a schedule that helps to support your needs.

And of course, this service comes with our satisfaction guarantee so you don’t have to worry about flea bites again. To learn more about our flea control offerings, give us a call right away.  

Silverfish are nuisance pests, but one that you don’t want in your Uncertain home nonetheless. A few of the warning signs that your home is developing a silverfish problem include damage to furniture, clothing, or wallpaper; shed skins that look transparent; and finding any silverfish in your home. Also be on the lookout for fecal matter that looks like coffee grounds that’s usually near cabinetry or yellowish stains around the home that gets created by molted silverfish skin. The presence of excess moisture in your home in areas such as the bathroom or kitchen may attract silverfish, so check these areas as well.

If you’re not sure whether or not your home has a silverfish problem, contact the pros at Gecko Pest Control. We perform comprehensive inspections that include proper pest identification as well as an understanding as to why silverfish problems have developed in the first place. In addition to our evaluations, we can also provide silverfish control in any of our ongoing residential programs. For more understanding on the presence of silverfish in your home, call us today. 

Ticks are a kind of parasitic pest, and there are a number of ways that they can end up in Uncertain yards. Some of those ways include:

• Wildlife: One of the most typical forms of transportation for ticks is wildlife animals. Critters such as skunks, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, and rodents may be carrying ticks and any number of other parasites with them. Once they make themselves at home on a property, wildlife can spread ticks with free roam.  

• Family pets: Ticks can also attach themselves to household cats and dogs. This can happen when they spend time outside, particularly in areas of tall grass. Dogs can pick up ticks from other dogs, especially at the dog park and if they’re not protected with any tick control methods. 

• People who have been outdoors: Just as ticks can affix themselves to pets and other animals, they can also attach themselves to people. If people spend time outside in the woods or in fields, they may find that ticks have gotten into their hair or personal belongings. 

The most reliable way to protect an Uncertain property from ticks is with professional treatments. We will utilize top quality products on a recurring basis to address ticks proactively as well. For more information on tick control, call Gecko Pest Control today!

When cockroaches begin to appear in Uncertain properties, they are best left to the professionals for the following reasons:

• Ability to reproduce: Cockroaches have a knack for multiplying, which can make a small infestation grow in a matter of months. Female cockroaches can lay one egg sac a month for ten months, each containing up to 16 eggs. 

• Natural characteristics: These pests have a strong disposition and can survive for extended periods of time without food or water. Cockroaches can withstand a change in elements, so they are not likely to go away on their own. They are also nocturnal and take up shelter in places where the average person can’t find them. 

• Exposure to health risks: When people allow cockroach populations to go unattended, they are potentially leaving themselves vulnerable to health problems. Some of the health problems that cockroaches can cause include the spread of E. coli, streptococcus, and listeria. These issues can occur by ingesting cockroach feces or getting scratched, so they are best left to a professional.  

Pest professionals will also have access to methods that have been proved effective in the face of stubborn cockroaches. This approach is particularly necessary when German cockroaches are located, as these roaches are developing a cross resistance to many forms of treatment.
