FAQ

  • Termites

    • How do I know if I have a termite problem?
      While there are telltale signs to watch out for, professional termite control services are the best way to determine whether or not you have a termite problem in your Cedar Park home. Our team of experts will be able to identify active infestations, as well as any conducive conditions that could attract termites.
    • Why did termites infest my home in the first place?
      A variety of factors create conducive conditions for termites in Cedar Park homes. These include elevated moisture levels near your foundation, gaps and cracks in the exterior of your home, improper grading or soil compaction around the house, or exposed untreated wood.
    • How do I prevent future termite infestations?
      You can take several steps to prevent future termite infestations, including keeping woodpiles and debris away from the foundation of your home, controlling moisture levels around your house, and ensuring that your gutters are clean and free of debris. You may also want to consider having an annual termite inspection performed by our team.

  • Scorpions

    • Can I get rid of scorpions on my own?

  • Mosquitoes

    • Do mosquitoes need standing water in order to reproduce?

      All types of mosquitoes are aquatic, meaning that every species must lay its eggs in water in order to survive. Although preferred nesting water sources will differ among mosquito species, a good start to a mosquito control program begins with eliminating potential breeding sites around your property. Keep in mind that a mosquito can develop from egg to adult in just a thimble-full of water. It doesn’t take much to encourage these pesky insects, so professional pest control treatments should always be your first line of defense.

      You can get started on professional home pest control services by contacting the Green Pest Guys today.

    • How do I get rid of mosquito nesting sites?

      Once matured, mosquito adultswill rest in shady areas protected from the wind. Some of the most common mosquito resting areas include the spaces around trees, shrubs, potted plants, patios, and even front entryways. Many Texas suburban homes have three to five feet of grass between either side of the house and the surrounding fence. Areas like these can provide great harbor sites for mosquitoes until their next meal walks by.

      Put a stop to mosquito invasions with the help of Green Pest Guys today.

    • What are some things I can do to prevent mosquitoes in Cedar Park?

      The following action list discusses the first steps a homeowner can take to remove mosquito attractant factors around their yard:

      • Clean up debris around the home. Texas soil easily collects surface water, attracting mosquito populations, including spaces under piles of leaves, boards, and an assortment of other outdoor items.
      • Scan the yard for items that may hold water. Pots, cans, bird baths, lids, kid toys, and even the dish under planter pots could be helping mosquitoes thrive.
      • Clean out gutters and check for correct drainage. Watch out for sagging gutters or low spots where water can pool. It’s up to you to stop invaders fast!
      • Yards with poor drainage will accumulate water. Consider some options to level your yard or install a French drain to improve drainage.

      As always, contact Green Pest Guys for additional help or information.

  • Fleas & Ticks

    • How do fleas and ticks infest my house?
      Fleas and ticks can get into your house by hitching a ride on different animals, such as pets, wild animals, or even people. These pests can also enter through open windows or doors or even get blown in through ventilation systems.
    • How can I eliminate fleas and ticks from my home?
      The best way to eliminate a flea or tick infestation in your home is to contact a professional pest control service like Green Pest Guys. These pests can be difficult to eradicate on your own because of their hard-to-reach hiding places and tendency to reproduce quickly. Our technicians can assess the situation and determine the best course of action to eliminate fleas or ticks in your home.
    • How can I prevent future infestations?
      There are a few steps you can take to help prevent future infestations. Make sure to vacuum your carpets and furniture regularly, as this helps to remove any eggs or larvae present in the area. Additionally, keep your grass and landscaping trimmed, as this can help to reduce the chances of fleas and ticks taking up residence in your yard. Finally, consider using a professional pest control service like Green Pest Guys for regular maintenance treatments to keep your home free from these pests.

  • Bed Bugs

    • What are the common treatment types for bed bugs?

      There are many types of bed bug treatments, but most are not eco-friendly or without risks. The common treatment types include heat treatments, freeze treatments, tenting, and biological and botanical treatments.

      Some companies employ the use of specialized equipment to bring the core temperature of the home up to 124 degrees Fahrenheit. Freeze treatments utilize liquid nitrogen to target specific infested areas of the house. Bed bugs supposedly cannot survive at these temperatures for extended periods, although plenty of YouTube testimonials say otherwise.

      Some think that tenting is the answer to extreme bed bug infestations. In this process, your entire home will be covered and gassed with powerful pest control fumes. However, because the process is both intensive and invasive, it can be very dangerous and cost-prohibitive.

      The best and most efficient bed bug treatments are biological and botanical applications. These eco-friendly pest control measures use chrysanthemum flower-based products and a unique bed bug fungus to stop infestations in their tracks. You're welcome to contact us here at Green Pest Guys for more information about our home pest control and commercial pest control process.

    • How did bed bugs get into my Dallas home?
      Bed bugs can be brought to your home inside luggage after a vacation, on your kids' belongings when they return from college, visitors during the holidays, from your workplace, or even migration from your neighbor's house! Today, eight out of ten hotels have bed bugs in at least one of their rooms every month. That means you might inadvertently bring home bed bugs.
    • Do bed bugs only live around beds and mattresses?

      Despite their name, bed bugs don't just live in our beds and mattresses. These parasitic pests can also live in clothes, couch cushions, behind picture frames, electrical sockets, and many other places around your home or business. The bed bug's secretive and nocturnal nature makes it hard to completely eradicate large populations, especially as they can live up to seven months without a meal in our Texas heat!

      To identify the areas of bed bug activity within your Dallas, North Houston, or Austin building, you're welcome to get in touch with the Green Pest Guys right away.

  • Fire Ants

    • What are fire ants?
      Fire ants are an invasive species that can quickly spread and cause significant damage to your lawn. They are small, reddish-brown insects with a painful sting. Unlike other types of ants, they are aggressive and will attack if they feel threatened.
    • How do I know if fire ants are in my yard?
      The most obvious sign is a fire ant mound in your yard, which looks like a small, raised mound of dirt. Additionally, fire ants may be present if you notice painful stings or see large numbers of reddish-brown ants.
    • How can I prevent fire ants from infesting my yard?
      The best way to prevent an infestation is to keep your lawn free of debris, food scraps, and other sources of food. You should also make sure to seal up all cracks and crevices in your house.
