Pest Control in Boerne: Choosing a Company That Knows the Hill Country

Limestone lots are scorpion country. They den in the rock, under landscape stone, and in weep holes, and they come inside when summer bakes the ground. Homes off the 46 corridor and in the newer communities built into the hills see them most.

The rest of the Boerne list is steady: fire ants and harvester ants in the yard, spiders inside, wasps under eaves through the warm months, and subterranean termites working the soil line wherever moisture holds. A company that mostly works flat coastal suburbs treats a different pest list than this one.

Ask what happens if the bugs come back three weeks after treatment. The answer you want is specific: someone comes back out and re-treats at no extra charge.

That's Bob Jenkins' standing term on recurring service: if your bugs or insects return between scheduled visits, we will too, at no additional cost. Get whatever a company promises you in writing.

A caliche lot with stacked-stone landscaping and a creek behind it is not the same job as a cleared half-acre in a newer subdivision. An honest quote accounts for what your property actually holds. Ours are free and carry no obligation, and if you'd rather talk it through first, that's what the phone is for.

One more thing worth asking any company: what do they treat with. We use the least toxic, most environmentally friendly, EPA-registered products available, applied by licensed technicians.

Subterranean termites don't care about the county line. Anywhere moisture holds against a slab, they'll work it, and Hill Country homes with irrigation against stone borders give them exactly that. If the house hasn't been inspected in years, pair the pest visit with a termite look. It's the cheapest timing you'll ever get on that question.
