We serve homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses of all sizes. Interior and exterior treatment, perimeter pest control, and full pest inspections are all part of what we do. Whatever the pest and whatever the property, the first step is a phone call.
From ants and roaches to rodents and spiders, it starts with the inspection. Longview's warm, humid climate means pest pressure does not let up the way it does in cooler parts of the country. Cockroaches find their way into kitchens and wall voids. Mice and rats push in through gaps around pipes and foundations. Silverfish turn up in storage rooms and closets. Wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets nest under eaves and in attics. Chiggers and lone star ticks work their way in from overgrown yards. Bed bugs travel in on luggage and secondhand furniture. Mosquitoes are a warm-season constant across Gregg County. Tawny crazy ants, which spread aggressively in East Texas, have become a growing problem in and around Longview.
We also handle flies, house centipedes, subterranean termites, kissing bugs, and the full range of occasional invaders that show up with the seasons. Flea and tick treatment, stinging insect control, and silverfish control are all on the list. The pest gets identified before anything is applied, and the treatment plan follows from that. We'll find the source and treat it right.
A few ants and a full-blown infestation are two different jobs, and a one-time visit is built around what you are actually dealing with. We inspect the property, identify the pest and its entry points, and treat accordingly. The rate is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled, and you know what the visit covers before we arrive.
Good pest control isn't complicated, it's just done right. Quarterly and bi-monthly pest prevention plans are available for properties that need consistent coverage. Each scheduled visit includes an inspection and treatment of active problem areas, along with perimeter pest control to reduce what gets in between visits. Scheduled service reduces reinfestation by keeping pressure down before it builds. The plan is laid out and confirmed before anything starts.
Interior pest treatment covers kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, crawl spaces, and garages, anywhere pests are active or likely to move through. Exterior barrier treatment targets the perimeter of the structure, treating entry points, foundation lines, and the areas where pests first make contact with the building. Crawl space pest control is included where the property calls for it. Both sides of the structure matter, and we treat them that way.
Your time matters, so we keep the treatment moving. Calls are answered at any hour, any day, and short-notice requests are handled. An active infestation, a wasp nest near a doorway, a rodent problem that cannot wait until next week, these are the situations we take seriously, and the phone gets answered when you call.
Short-notice pest control work is available, and calls are answered so you are not left waiting to reach someone. Ask what is available when you call, and we will tell you what we can do. This is local work, and the phone gets answered.
What makes a pest visit worth the money is straightforward: you get the pest identified, a plan that fits the property, and treatment that addresses the actual problem. We work in single-family homes, apartments, rental units, and multi-unit properties across Longview and the surrounding area.
Landlords and property managers have specific needs, and we understand them. Apartment pest control and rental property pest control require scheduling that works around tenants, clear communication about what the treatment covers, and follow-up that keeps the unit in good shape between turnovers. Whether you manage one rental or a larger portfolio, we handle the pest side so you can focus on the property. We keep you informed from inspection to follow-up.
Offices, restaurants, warehouses, food service operations, and retail spaces all face pest pressure that a one-size treatment will not solve. A commercial pest control visit starts with an inspection of the full property, including loading areas, storage rooms, break rooms, and any space where pests are likely to enter or shelter.
Recurring pest control service agreements for businesses are available and structured around the property's needs. A restaurant pest control schedule looks different from a warehouse plan, and we set it up accordingly. The scope and the rate are confirmed before anything is scheduled, and the plan is reviewed whenever conditions change. Clear plans. Clear pricing. Straight answers.
Some pests in this part of Texas require more than a standard approach. The three below are common enough in Longview and across Gregg County that they come up regularly, and each one has characteristics that affect how treatment is planned and carried out.
Red imported fire ants are a fixture in East Texas lawns, pastures, and landscaped areas. Their mounds can appear quickly after rain, and disturbing one brings an aggressive response. Treatment targets the colony directly, using baits and contact treatments that reach the queen. A single application may not be enough on a heavily infested property, and follow-up is part of the plan when the situation calls for it.
Brown recluse spiders are common in Longview homes, particularly in undisturbed spaces like attics, crawl spaces, closets, and storage areas. They hide in cardboard boxes, behind baseboards, and in wall voids. Treatment covers the interior of the structure with attention to the areas where recluses are most likely to shelter. Customers are told what to do before and after the visit so the treatment works as intended.
The striped bark scorpion is the species found in this region, and it turns up in garages, under debris, inside walls, and occasionally in living spaces. They enter through gaps around pipes, door frames, and foundation cracks. Treatment targets entry points and harborage areas both inside and outside the structure. Right inspection. Right treatment. Nothing guessed at.
The rate is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled. What you pay depends on the pest type, the size of the property, and whether you are booking a one-time treatment or setting up a recurring pest control plan. A larger commercial property with multiple pest concerns costs more than a single-family home with a focused problem, and we explain the difference.
There are no pricing promises on this page because the exact figure depends on what the job actually involves. What we can tell you is that you get straight answers about the pests and the plan, and the price is part of that conversation before any work begins. Call for a quote and ask what it covers.
We handle calls from across Longview and the towns nearby. Service extends into Kilgore, White Oak, Gladewater, Henderson, Marshall, and Carthage, along with the surrounding communities throughout the region. Every call is handled the same way regardless of where the property sits: inspection, plan, treatment.
If you are in Gregg County or the surrounding area and are not sure whether we cover your address, call and ask. We'll find the source and treat it right.
All products are applied according to label directions, which specify where the product can be used, how much to apply, and any preparation the occupant should handle beforehand. The technician applies product only to the areas where the inspection shows it is needed, not as a blanket treatment across every surface. If you have questions about a specific product, those are answered on the call before the visit.
If pest activity returns between your scheduled appointments, we come back and address it. That return visit is part of the plan structure, not an additional charge to negotiate. The goal of a recurring plan is to keep pressure from building, and a mid-cycle return is how we handle situations where something gets through before the next scheduled visit.
The label directions for the products used include guidance on re-entry timing and any precautions for pets. The technician will explain what those directions require before leaving. If you have questions about a specific product and what it means for your animals, ask on the call before the visit and we will give you a straight answer.
Wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets nest under eaves, in attics, and in wall voids, and the location of the nest shapes how the treatment is carried out. Treatment targets the nest directly and the area around it to address the active colony. Nests in wall voids or enclosed spaces require a different approach than exposed nests, and the inspection determines what is needed before any product is applied.
Roaches leave behind droppings that look like small dark specks, shed skins, and a distinct musty odor in areas where they are concentrated. You may also see them near appliances, under sinks, or along baseboards at night when they are most active. If you are seeing any of those signs in a Longview home or business, the infestation is likely larger than what is visible.
A prevention plan works by treating the property on a regular schedule before pest pressure builds to infestation levels. Each visit refreshes the exterior barrier, checks the areas where activity tends to develop first, and addresses any new entry points. Staying ahead of the seasonal shifts that drive ant and roach pressure in East Texas is a large part of what a quarterly or bi-monthly plan is designed to do.
Ant trails along baseboards, counters, or window frames are the most obvious sign, but activity inside the home usually means a colony is established nearby, either in the yard, the wall void, or the foundation perimeter. Fire ant mounds in the yard or along exterior walls are a separate concern that can also push activity indoors. Both situations call for treatment that reaches the colony rather than just the foraging workers you can see.
For exterior-only treatments, you do not need to be present. For interior treatment, someone needs to provide access. We confirm what the visit requires on the call before it is scheduled, so you know in advance whether you need to be there. If you cannot be present for an interior visit, we can discuss what access arrangements work for your situation.
Clear access to the areas being treated, including under sinks, behind appliances, and along baseboards where interior treatment is planned. Store food items in sealed containers and remove pet food and water bowls from treatment areas. The technician will confirm any additional preparation specific to the pest and the products being used when the appointment is scheduled.
Dense landscaping close to the foundation creates harborage for pests and can limit how well a perimeter treatment reaches the structure. The technician works through the landscaping to treat the foundation line and the soil contact areas where pests enter. Pulling back mulch and ground cover from the foundation edge before the visit helps the treatment reach where it needs to go.
Longview Pest Control Company is available around the clock, every day of the year. One-time treatments, recurring prevention plans, and urgent pest calls are all handled the same way: you call, we explain the plan, and the work gets done. We answer when you call. We explain the plan. We treat the problem.

Every property is different, and the right service plan depends on the pest, the structure, and how much pressure the area is under. The table below lays out what each plan covers, who it fits best, and what to expect from the schedule. Longview and Gregg County see year-round pest activity, so the plan you choose should match the actual conditions at your address. Call for a quote and we will walk through the options with you.

Does a general pest control treatment cover all the pests on the list?
A general treatment addresses the common pests active at your property, including ants, cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, and similar invaders. Some pests require a targeted approach. Bed bugs, rodents, and subterranean termites each call for a plan built around that specific pest rather than a broad application. The inspection tells us what is present, and we treat accordingly.
What is the difference between a one-time treatment and a recurring prevention plan?
A one-time treatment addresses an active problem. It is the right call when you have a specific pest event and want it resolved. A recurring plan keeps pressure from building back up between visits by maintaining an exterior barrier and checking problem areas on a regular schedule. For most Longview homes, a recurring plan is more cost-effective over time because it prevents the conditions that lead to a full infestation.
Why do pests sometimes come back after a treatment?
Pest pressure in East Texas does not stop at the property line. New activity can move in from neighboring lots, overgrown areas, or through gaps that were not fully sealed. A treatment addresses what is present at the time of the visit, but the exterior barrier does wear down between visits. That is why recurring plans include perimeter retreatment on every visit, and why we come back if activity returns between scheduled appointments.
Pest Identified Before Anything Is Applied
We inspect first and confirm what we are dealing with before any product goes down. The treatment plan follows from what the inspection finds, not from a standard approach applied to every property.
How does the season affect pest pressure in Longview?
Longview's warm, humid climate means pest pressure is present most of the year, but it shifts with the seasons. Spring brings ant and fire ant activity as colonies expand after winter. Summer drives cockroach and mosquito pressure up. Fall pushes rodents and spiders indoors as temperatures drop. A quarterly or bi-monthly plan is timed to address each of these shifts before they become a larger problem inside the structure.
What does an exterior barrier treatment actually do?
Exterior barrier treatment targets the foundation line, entry points around pipes and door frames, and the perimeter of the structure where pests first make contact with the building. The goal is to intercept pests before they get inside rather than waiting for interior activity to develop. On a recurring plan, the barrier is refreshed on every visit so it stays effective between appointments.
How does a technician decide on the right treatment plan for a property?
It starts with the inspection. The technician looks at where activity is concentrated, what entry points are present, what the pest is, and what conditions in or around the structure are contributing to the problem. A property with a brown recluse spider issue in the attic and crawl space gets a different plan than one with a fire ant problem in the yard. The treatment follows from what the inspection actually finds.
Local Pest Pressure Factored In
East Texas has its own pest calendar, and the plans we recommend reflect what is actually active in Longview and Gregg County at different times of year. Fire ants, brown recluse spiders, and striped bark scorpions are part of the picture here, and we treat for them accordingly.
Do recurring plans require a long-term contract?
Ask about the terms when you call and we will give you a straight answer. We explain what the plan covers, how the schedule works, and what the commitment looks like before anything is confirmed. The goal is a plan that fits your property and your situation, not one that locks you into something that does not work for you.
What should I know about striped bark scorpions in Longview?
The striped bark scorpion is the species found in this part of Texas. They enter structures through gaps around pipes, door frames, and foundation cracks, and they shelter in garages, wall voids, and under debris. Treatment targets the entry points and harborage areas both inside and outside the structure. Sealing gaps around the foundation and utility penetrations reduces the ways they get in, and that work matters as much as the treatment itself.
Re-Treatment Between Scheduled Visits
If pest activity returns between your scheduled appointments, we come back and address it. That return visit is part of how a recurring plan is supposed to work, and we handle it without making it a separate negotiation.
What are the signs of a spider problem in a home?
Webs in corners, along baseboards, in closets, and in undisturbed storage areas are the most visible sign. Brown recluse spiders are common in Longview homes and tend to shelter in cardboard boxes, behind baseboards, and in wall voids, so you may not see the spiders directly. If you are finding webs regularly in areas you have already cleaned, or if you are seeing spiders themselves in living spaces, that is a sign the population in the structure is established enough to treat.
How do tawny crazy ants differ from other ants in the Longview area?
Tawny crazy ants move in large, erratic groups rather than organized trails, which makes them harder to track back to a colony. They spread aggressively and can nest in wall voids, under slabs, and in outdoor debris. Standard ant baits designed for other species are often less effective against them. Treatment needs to account for how they move and where they shelter, which is why the inspection matters before any product is applied.
Should I do anything to reduce moisture or seal entry points before a pest visit?
Addressing moisture and entry points makes any treatment more effective and helps keep pests from returning. Standing water near the foundation, leaking pipes under sinks, and gaps around utility penetrations all contribute to pest pressure. We note what we find during the inspection and can point out the areas worth addressing. The treatment handles what is present, but reducing the conditions that attract pests is part of keeping them out long term.
