Why does All Pest Solutions go to the effort to describe their treatment so thoroughly to you? It’s simple! We live and work in the same communities. When we service your home in Wylie, Sachse, or Murphy, we know we are going to see you again. We care and we know your paying for this service and we have found that our customers want to know. That way you have an expectation of which we always strive to exceed.

An average initial service with us takes approximately one hour and a reoccurring service takes app twenty to thirty five minute (based on a 2,000 sq ft residence, being serviced quarterly times may vary with a different service frequency)

Why do we give you a timetable? Again, because we care and our experience has told is our customers associate what we do and how long we spend directly with its value! Don’t take this lightly. We know the industry average time spent at a residence is half what we spend. Not to mention there’s no way you could all the things we do in half the time.

When I say “value, integrity and trust” is not just our motto it’s our mission. Well darn it we mean it we want you to know what were doing for you and that way your not kept in the dark.

All Pest Solutions advertises “no hidden charges” and with that we, at every written estimate leave you a copy of our additional services so you know what is not covered and what it would cost to provide these to you now or in the future if the need arises, they are as follows.

Every new home built with brick or stone has weep holes. These are put in to allow ventilation into the walls, which is a good thing, but they are a easy access for all types of bugs, especially spiders. All Pest will take a copper mesh material and stuff in these holes which stops bugs from entering while allowing air movement to continue and the holes to work as they were designed. This is a one time charge and will last virtually forever. It is something that we highly recommend and is well worth the one time small investment.

Sometimes additional rodent feeding stations, live traps called catchall or insect/mice monitors (a box the same size as a glue board that the glue board actually goes in so you can put them in places where coming in contact with a glue board could occur, i.e. pets and children) are needed we will price any and/or all of them for you.

Sometimes the need to set a live trap for squirrels, raccoons etc are needed. This service would have a cost to set the trap and a cost for every animal removed.

Sometimes All Pest will point out areas that need caulking that help in stopping entry of lots of things, not to mention the effect it has many times on your energy costs.

This is one of our most popular items. Most all rodents enter a home at the garage door while it is down, while you’re asleep, in the middle of the night. If you will notice your own door, while it is down those gaps beside the door. This is where they get in at. See rodents follow structure lines and when they do and this hole exists there literally channeled right into your garage and the rest is history. They will either nest up in the garage and sooner or later catch the door to the house open and in they go or worst yet they will chew a hole in the wall usually in the corner enter the wall and make access in to attic where electrical wires ly just waiting to be chewed on. Did you know that if rodents have to keep their teeth wore down and standard electrical wiring is the perfect size for them to get their teeth around and hard enough to actually chip away at their teeth? This truly a recipe for disaster! All Pest takes sheet metal, caulk and some craftsmanship and we close up those entry points. This is a one time charge and is very effective. Note sometimes the rubber seal at the bottom of the door also needs replacing this is done if needed at the customer’s expense.

All Pest has various devices you may be in need of to control flies, mosquitoes, certain wasps, etc. The most popular is a residential vector light that looks like a big night light or a plug in scent device that you can plug directly into a wall outlet that attracts virtually any flying insects and they work great.

Yes! Believe it or not with their ever increasing desire to live next some pretty fountain or body of water combined with excavation of grass land, snakes continue to be a threat to homeowners, their children and their pets. All Pest sells a product called snake-a-way. It’s the only product licensed in the U.S. to repel snakes and it does work. The U.S. government used it a lot in desert storm to keep cobras out of the military tents out in the desert. It is a combination of Sulphur and ground up moth balls, so yes it smells like grandma’s closet the first 24 hours after you put it out but that is how it works. A snake’s sense of smell is his most keen sense and they will not cross it. It is applied by literally pouring it directly on the ground continuously around the house or yard or both. This item can be purchased directly by you at your local home improvement store but because I can buy it in bulk and integrate it into your service frequency you can pay us to put out cheaper than what it cost you just to buy it

Unlike most of our competitors, we cover fire ant in your yard up to 5000 sq ft of your yard. Many of our customers had acreage from a half acre up to thousands of acres. Whatever your need is -- we can handle it. See us directly for details.

We at All Pest Solutions challenge you to find another service provider that will include items like rodent control, fire ants in the yard ,carpenter ants and German roaches all for one low price. We challenge you to find a company that will warranty free extra services for spiders. We challenge you to find a company that will put in writing exactly what their minimum service is going to be every time they come. We challenge you to find a company will put in writing an estimated time spent at your home that comes close to ours. We challenge you to find a company who will disclose in writing what is and is not covered and give you pricing on the things that are not up front so theirs no surprises. We challenge you to find a company that will run an extra service if you need it within 48 hours of when you call for it. We challenge you to find a company that doesn’t make you sign a contract, not to mention that will try hard to keep technician change to a bare minimum because we know how you like to build relationships, trust and train them to know your individual needs. We challenge you to find a company who is doing all these things, but still has time to bring in your paper lying in the yard, put up trash cans after the trash man has run . Have time to talk to you if you have a question. Who will take the time and move your children's toys if their in our way rather than treating them. Who will notice if your pets are out of water and refill their bowl if needed. Were not guaranteeing you these things are performed every time at every house simply because there's to many variables but I assure you it is as much a part of our service standard to look for these things and perform them when they exist as is refreshing all the barriers. We have done our home work you will be hard pressed to find anyone other than All Pest Solutions who will do half of these things much less all of them. All Pest Solutions the cure for the common pest control company.

At all pest solutions we offer a full line of termite services to fit any budget. They are as follows:

Termites do more damage annually than all natural disasters combined in a given calendar year.

A termite colony can collectively consume the equivalent of a 2x4 8 ft long in a year.

Termites have been here since the dawn of time ,survived the ice age and will be here when were all gone.

Termites are social insects similar to ants and bees. They live in the ground in colonies that are basketball size. An average colony will have 500,000 members.

A termite colony has a 6 member caste consisting of a queen, king worker soldier secondary reproductive and alates or swarmers.

A termite colony usually resides 2 to5 feet beneath the ground, which is below the frost line and above the water table.

Studies have shown that a single colony will have a foraging area of which they gather food from the size of an average golf fairway.

Within their foraging territory they may have thousands of food sources that they gather from daily and their always looking for new ones.

Although 12 colonies may exist in an acre they do not socialize with anyone outside their own colony.

Only one member ot a termite colony (the worker) can actually do damage .he is the only one that has the one celled organism (called a protozoan) in his hind gut that breaks down the cellulose into a sugars of which they eat.

Termites swarm every year around April which is their way of reproducing. Swarmers that make it outside shed their wings mate up burrow into the ground and make new colonies.

Understanding these facts may influence your decision in purchasing a termite treatment. In my professional opinion supported by the fact and research from entomologists across the world I feel that you don’t ever really get rid of termites. Sure you may stop their entry for a while or you may take out a colony by some means but history has proven that another colony will take its place and living things like termites will find a way to sustain life. I tell you this only because many people believe or perceive that treatment = no more termites and I believe nothing could be farther from the truth.

So when choosing a termite treatment it only makes good since long term to choose a plan that that can provide you on going protection and to buy it from a company who you can trust to stay up on the latest methods and techniques and who will be around to stand behind what they sell.

Does this mean that all pest solutions wont do a spot treatment for you? Absolutely not , we will sell whatever it is you want but we also want you to know exactly what it is your buying and when you choose a short term solution to age long problem you doing just that and that way your not angry at us when they return. Can I afford a termite treatment that protects my home for years? Well I guess it depends who you buy it from. You can easily spend thousands upon thousands for some termite treatments with annual renewals of 4 or5 hundred dollars and then after5 years it all starts over again, it can be a costly futile process luckily for you all pest solutions has answers. Below I will list and describe our options

A spot treatment is just that we will treat where and only where the termites are active at the time they are discovered. This is by far the most inexpensive choice, but it come with virtually no warranty and more importantly no coverage on the rest of the structure. Their are times when this type of treatment does make good since, especially if done to buy you some time when you can put a plan in place or if done in conjunction with a baiting/monitoring system.

up until 10 years ago this was by far the most popular and other than a spot treat was the only way to treat for termites and until chlordane was outlawed in 1989 was pretty darned effective simply because chlordane has a shelf life of infinity. Chlordane was outlawed though and all thru the nineties chemical manufactures were trying to find its replacement and frankly they failed miserably. This is what brought about the baiting system craze of which I will explain in detail in a moment. The chemical manufactures within the last 4 years finally got it right with the invention of stealthy termiticides like termidor premise and phantom. Every termiticide made prior to these were repellents and with EPA' restrictions simply wouldn’t hang around very long .but with this new breed of termiticide that was undetectable by termites the tides have once again have turned. Since it doesn’t have to repel and has to come in contact with termites these new termiticides are working quite well. The only negative now when considering a conventional treatment is all the drilling required and the volume of material required to perform this task .although. This is not my ultimate recommendation it is a treatment we are able to perform, if your house qualifies and after we have walked your home room by room and talked about exactly what it is were going to do where were going to cut and drill and if your still interested well so will I be. This type of treatment comes with a initial treatment cost followed by 4 annual renewals where we will inspect the structure and if nothing active termites that is is found that’s all that will occur. If termites are found on the inspection or by any other means during your contract we will perform a spot treatment only in that active area and at the end of 5 years we start over with a new treatment and 4 more years of renewals.

The whole baiting craze began in the mid 90's when Dr. Nan Yo Su a Entomologist from University of Florida who was working on a break thru in termite treating on a grant from Dow Agri-sciences invented and brought to the industry for Dow, Sentricon. Dr. Nan Yo Su in the lab and with his field studies proved some of the feeding and foraging research I listed above .in the beginning of this baiting craze, Sentricon and Dow had a jump on the competition as regard to this new approach to treating termites . for the first time in the history of termite treating we no longer were trying to repel but attract and feed. Does this philosophy of putting wood in the ground around a structure really work . the answer is yes like anything else there's positives and negatives to everything. The positives were this method was virtually non toxic when compared to traditional methods and it provided long term control without having to retreat the house on an ongoing basis. The negative to this philosophy was you were at the termites mercy of when they would find the wood which in many cases took as long as a year and this was the first step . once activity was found the termites were then transferred to the actual bait where feeding had to occur which in many cases took another year. But the biggest negative to this method was the integrity of the companies and more importantly the technicians who were managing and monitoring the system. If managed properly this method would long term eventually work but short term within the first 2 years results were all over the board that is if it was being managed with integrity if not all bets were off .in my professional opinion regardless of the type of system whether it be Sentricon, Firstline, Exterra, or any other bait and switch method if not managed properly with the utmost integrity your simply throwing you money away.

After reading that your probably thinking I thought he said this method is what All Pest recommends well not quite. This philosophy of of putting monitors in the yard to make contact with the neighboring termite colonies I do believe in and they will find then in due time but the whole bait and switch thing I don’t like.

All pest solutions answer to termite treating is a combination of both philosophies

At all pest solutions we combine the best of both worlds to bring you what we've proven to be the best treatment available when considering all fronts ie up front costs ongoing cost effectiveness toxicity manageability and overall success. Here's how it works first All Pest will inspect your home to see if any condition visible or know would keep us from attempting this. Second inspect the home and identify all active areas. All pest would do a spot treatment in any active areas with Termidor (one of the stealthy termiticides which when put in direct contact with active termites has the ability to destroy at least significantly deplete that individual colony that is attacking your home ) by doing this we have gotten immediate control with a limited amount of drilling trenching and termiticide. Now we would install a monitoring device around the house so we can deal with any remaining termites that might exist from the attacking colony (who will be looking for a new source since they were just denied one) but more more importantly all the other colonies that exist that we haven’t been able to affect. The difference for all pest at this point is were going to treat every station as we install it with one of the stealthy termiticides, which means every station day one are active . remember termites cannot detect it so all station are active from day one and when termites hit were affecting them immediately and since we got control in the beginning if it takes a while so what .all pest will return quarterly inspect replaces wood treat wood or simply monitor the progress while keeping an eye outside for any new attracts on the home, its that simple. The greatest reward other than the fact that termites aren’t attacking the home and are being controlled from outside is the huge savings in costs. Conventional treatments are expensive because of the labor involved in drilling and trenching and the large volumes of chemicals. True baiting systems are expensive because of the labor involved in managing it and the purchasing of the actual formulated bait tubes that you actually feed the termites once you get a hit. With our method you have none of these issues so the cost is dramatically impacted while at the same time effectiveness and control have increased it’s a win win combination. You will pay thousands initially up front for a name brand baiting system and 400+ a year paid in one lump sum annually for an ongoing renewal, not with All Pest Solutions you will pay hundreds for our initial (if saving money is ok with you) but we manage our contracts quarterly not annually so we break it up into 4 payments a year not one and we will offer you general pest control on top of your quarterly termite monitoring and with the discount in place for doing both services versus one you will be getting pest and termite coverage for termite alone would cost you anywhere else. So lets recap same retreat warranties the name brands better control at half the price initially and easy quarterly terms that could include pest control for the same as I would be paying annually for termite alone. Wow so what are you waiting for pick up the phone and lets get started.

This is a surface treatment done to the soil in the preconstruction of a new home done prior to the slab being poured .although I don’t believe in this type of treatment I will do them if that is what you want . call me for details.

First of borates are a mineral mined like salt and when applied to wood become a property of the wood ,wood of which termites wont eat. I highly recommend doing this treatment instead of a pretreatment for several reasons. One its more effective and lasts 10 times longer. Second it cost less . third its much easier to coordinate and its virtually non toxic to anything other insects.

This is a report required on virtually every Real Estate transaction which is an inspection of the property and a report of my findings as it relates to wood destroying insects.
