In addition to nesting under sidewalks, pavement ants colonies can be found under other items lying on top of the ground, including stones, logs, boards, bricks and patio blocks. They may nest in open soil close to building foundations or under mulch in landscaped beds. Only rarely do the ants nest indoors in walls, under floors or in insulation.
Termites
Termites are known as “silent destroyers” because of their ability to chew through wood, flooring and even wallpaper. So basically no home or structure is safe form these tiny creatures. The warmer we get here in Texas the worse it can become. But we are here to help you if you just need a termite inspection or to treat your structure. Please give us a call and we can ease your minds and homes of these tiny eaters.
Cockroaches
Adult German cockroaches are light brown except for the shield behind the head marked with two dark stripes, which run lengthwise on the body, and about 5/8 inch long. Young roaches are wingless and nearly black with a single light stripe running down the middle of the back. Egg capsules are light tan.

Mice
The house mouse is, unfortunately, the species of mouse everyone thinks of when they hear the word mouse. It is because they live in close association with humans that they are one of the most familiar small mammals to humans. House mice are similar in size to our native deer mouse but they are a solid grayish-brown color above and below. Their tail is also scaly like a Norway rat and not covered with fur like the deer mouse.
Rats
Rats are nocturnal. They are shy about new objects and very cautious when things change in their environment and along their established runs. Outdoors, roof rats prefer to nest in trees and, occasionally, in burrows and vegetation. The rats easily enter buildings through  1/2-inch and larger gaps. In buildings they prefer to nest in upper levels of the building, and occasionally, in basements and sewers. They prefer foods such as fruits, vegetables, and cereals. Their forging range is 100 to 150 feet from their nest.
