Houston Pest Control Problems - Ants, Spiders and Roaches

Houston is the largest city in the U.S. state of Texas, the fourth-largest city in the United States, and "the energy capital of the world". The burgeoning port and railroad industry, combined with oil discovery in 1901, has introduced continual surges in the city's population.

Houston's climate is classified as humid sub-tropical. "Super cell" thunderstorms in the springtime, sometimes bring tornados to Houston and the region. The prevailing winds are from the south and southeast during much of the year, bringing heat across from the deserts of Mexico; and moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.  Most of the city of Houston is located on the gulf coastal plain, and it's vegetation is classified as temperate grassland and forest. Much of the city was built on forested land, marshes, swamp, or prairie; and are all still visible in areas surrounding Houston. The flat local terrain, when combined with "urban sprawl", makes flooding a recurring problem in the region.

The sub-tropical climate, ample moisture and lush vegetation in Texas, supports Houston pest control problems; by introducing and maintaining an abundant food and water supply, in the area.  The introduction of homes and gardens to growing Texan cities like Austin and San Antonio, has created an oasis for invading pests; and a problem for Houston, San Antonio and Austin pest control experts, alike.

Texas Fire Ants, Black Widow spiders and the famous Houston Roach, top the list of pest control concerns; expressed by homeowners and Austin, Houston and San Antonio pest control specialists.  Statistics have shown, that spiders, ants, roaches and other pest invaders, cause more damage to homes and real estate in the U.S.; than fires and storms combined.  Houston, Texas is no exception.

Homeowners in Houston, should employ the services of a dependable pest control company, when addressing a pest control problem.  The services provided should utilize the finest, cleanest, most effective products available; to solve your pest problems. A Houston pest control company should consider the safety of your family, friends and pets, when determining a viable solution; and certainly not apply pest control products with a danger, or poison warning label.
