Stop Worrying About Pest Problems in Your Home

Imagine never having to stress about spiders, ants, or other unwelcome critters in your living space. Our comprehensive pest control approach in Smithville delivers reliable, family-friendly protection throughout the year. Our technicians handle everything while keeping you informed every step of the way.

How We Protect Your Home From Pests

Our proven six-step process creates a protective barrier against common pests:

  1. You'll receive a text with your technician's name and arrival time before each visit
  2. Your technician completes a thorough exterior property inspection
  3. We remove accessible spider webs and wasp nests using professional equipment
  4. Targeted treatments are applied to entry points, windows, and foundations
  5. A protective granular treatment creates a perimeter barrier between visits
  6. You automatically receive detailed service reports after every appointment

Why Trust Preferred Pest Control With Your Pest Control Needs

Unlike companies that focus on one-time treatments, our recurring service program maintains continuous protection against seasonal pests before they become problematic. You don't even need to be present for most treatments, and we offer free call-backs between scheduled visits if any issues arise. With our "Tough on Pests, Easy on You" approach, we handle everything while keeping you informed through automated scheduling and detailed service reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the products family and pet-friendly?

Yes! All of our pest control products are specifically formulated for use around children and pets when applied according to our professional guidelines.

Do I need to leave the house during treatment?

No. Our pest control treatments are designed to be safe for you, your family, and your pets. You can stay in your home while our technicians apply treatments, and we’ll explain any precautions to ensure your comfort and safety.

How do I know when the technician will arrive?

We send a text message before arrival that includes the scheduled time and a tracking link so you can stay updated in real time.

How long does the treatment last?

Our general pest control treatments are designed to provide continuous protection when scheduled regularly. With our bimonthly (every two months) service plan, your home is consistently monitored and treated, keeping pests at bay year-round.

Is interior service included?

Yes. Interior service is included on an as-needed basis, so you don’t have to be home for treatments. We also offer free interior treatments and call-backs when necessary.

What if the pests come back?

If pests return between scheduled treatments, we’ll come back and re-treat your home at no extra cost. Our goal is to provide long-lasting protection, and we don’t stop until the problem is fully resolved.

What pests are covered in your basic package?

Our service targets a wide range of common pests, including spiders, ants, flies, silverfish, beetles, grasshoppers, gnats, Asian lady beetles, stink bugs, crickets, paper wasps, and brown recluses.

What programs do you offer?

  • Preferred Choice Bi-Monthly: Bi-monthly exterior treatment for general pests, with interior service as needed.
  • Preferred Choice Bi-Monthly plus Rodents: Bi-monthly exterior treatment for general pests, interior service as needed, and exterior rodent control.

Why do ants keep coming back in my kitchen every spring?

Ants are seasonal foragers, and many species become active in the spring as temperatures rise. They’re attracted to food, water, and shelter in your home, which is why they often return to kitchens. Even if you clean thoroughly, ants can follow scent trails from previous infestations or enter through tiny cracks and gaps. Regular pest control treatments help break these trails and prevent ants from coming back year after year.

We were having renovations done on our home and workers saw termites. I was worried it would delay our project to wait on an inspection. However, Stacey, the receptionist/scheduler, was very responsive and gave me an appointment within 90 minutes. Matt came out, right on schedule, and made an inspection. By 10:30 that same morning, he had diagnosed the problem and answered all my questions. Just a few minutes after he left, I had a quote. I am grateful for their quick response, and my home project is back on track.
