General pest control is the foundation plan for most Dallas homes: recurring protection against the everyday pests DFW deals with nearly year-round. Because North Texas doesn't get a real winter pest break, quarterly service is the standard — it keeps pressure suppressed continuously rather than reacting to one flare-up at a time.
What it covers
A general plan targets the common DFW pests: spiders, ants (including fire ants), cockroaches, silverfish, earwigs, crickets and the seasonal invaders that push indoors as temperatures shift. It's exterior-first treatment — a protective barrier around the home — with interior treatment when needed. Specialty pests like termites, bed bugs and rodents are handled as targeted add-ons or dedicated services.
Why quarterly, not annual
Dallas's warm, humid summers and mild winters mean pest activity runs close to year-round. A single annual treatment leaves long gaps where populations rebuild. Quarterly service treats each season's shift — spring emergence, summer peak, fall move-indoors, winter shelter-seeking — and includes re-service if pests return between visits. Homes with a history of infestation may step up to monthly.
What it costs
Quarterly plans run $100–$200 per visit; monthly $40–$75; annual contracts $275–$600/year. A one-time treatment ($100–$600, avg ~$175) is available for a single flare-up, though recurring service is better value given DFW's long season. Full detail on the pricing pillar.
The re-service guarantee
On a recurring plan, if covered pests return between scheduled visits, we come back at no charge. That's the whole point of ongoing protection — you're covered continuously, not just on visit day.
