Pest Control Designed for Memorial Homes
Memorial is known for its beautiful homes, established neighborhoods, mature trees, lush landscaping and peaceful residential streets.
Unfortunately, the same outdoor features that make Memorial such an attractive place to live can also create favorable conditions for insects.
Mulch, irrigation systems, shaded flower beds, leaf litter, standing moisture and dense landscaping can provide food, shelter and breeding areas for unwanted pests.
Common household pests may enter through:
-
Small cracks around foundations
-
Gaps around windows and exterior doors
-
Garages and garage-door seals
-
Brick weep holes
-
Plumbing and utility openings
-
Gaps around exterior walls and rooflines
Whether you live in an established Memorial home near Memorial Drive or a newer property in the surrounding west Houston area, effective pest control begins with understanding where pests are living, traveling and entering.
That's why Alco focuses on more than the bugs you happen to see.
We work to manage pest activity around your home's exterior before it becomes a problem inside.

What Does Alco's Quarterly Pest Control Include?
Quarterly pest control helps maintain your shield against infestations as weather conditions shift.
Comprehensive Initial Interior & Exterior Treatment
Your first Alco Pest Control service is designed to address existing covered pest activity while establishing protection around your home. Our initial treatment includes appropriate interior and exterior areas based on your property's needs.
Interior treatment may include:
-
Baseboards and appropriate interior perimeter areas
-
Cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms
-
Accessible areas beneath sinks
-
Areas where covered pests may be hiding or entering
-
Other appropriate areas based on the pest activity identified
Exterior treatment may include:
-
The home's foundation and exterior perimeter
-
Exterior walls, windows and doors
-
Accessible eaves and roofline areas
-
Garages and exterior entry points
-
Flower beds and landscaped areas
-
Backyard fence lines
-
Brick weep holes and other appropriate exterior openings
Our goal is to address the immediate pest concern while establishing a foundation for ongoing protection.
Exterior Pest Protection Every 12 Weeks
After your initial treatment, routine residential quarterly service focuses on your home's exterior. Our exterior Power Spray treatment can include an application approximately three feet up exterior walls and three feet out from the foundation, where appropriate and consistent with product labels. We also address appropriate exterior areas where covered pests may travel, hide or attempt to enter.
Why focus on the exterior?
Because many of the pests that eventually find their way into your kitchen, bathrooms, garage or living spaces begin outside. Regular exterior maintenance helps reduce pest activity around the structure while minimizing unnecessary treatments inside your home. And because these routine visits are performed outside, you generally don't need to be home.
Eaves, Windows & Pest Entry Areas
Insects frequently gather around protected exterior areas. As appropriate during service, we address accessible eaves, remove cobwebs and nests, and pay attention to areas around doors, windows, garages and other possible pest entry points. We also offer optional brick weep-hole screen installation for homeowners interested in an additional physical barrier against insect entry. Ask us about availability and pricing.
Coverage for Covered Pest Concerns
If you notice a covered pest problem between scheduled appointments, call or text Alco Pest Control. We'll review the concern and arrange the appropriate follow-up according to the applicable service warranty and terms. Professional protection with a local company you can actually reach.

Common Household Pests in Memorial, Houston
Houston's warm weather and changing rainfall patterns can contribute to pest activity throughout the year. Our general pest control program is designed to help manage several common household pests.
Cockroaches
Large outdoor roaches, often called water bugs or palmetto bugs, may enter homes through garages, doorways, plumbing areas and other openings. Exterior treatment helps reduce activity around common entry areas.
Silverfish
Silverfish are frequently associated with humid environments and may be found in bathrooms, closets, storage areas and other protected locations.
Earwigs
Earwigs favor damp, sheltered environments such as mulch, landscaping and areas near foundations. They may occasionally wander indoors.
Centipedes & Millipedes
These crawling pests often thrive around moist landscaping, leaf litter and shaded outdoor spaces. Changes in weather and moisture can bring them closer to homes.
Occasional Spiders
Our general pest service may address occasional spider activity and accessible exterior cobwebs. However, an established spider infestation is not covered by standard general pest control and requires specialized treatment.
Fire Ants
When visible fire ant mounds are encountered during a qualifying general pest control visit, Alco will provide complimentary spot treatment. This courtesy treatment is not warranted and does not replace our separate comprehensive whole-yard fire ant service.
For more complete fire ant protection, we offer a specialized treatment with a 1-year colony-elimination guarantee. If fire ant colonies return during the guarantee period, we'll retreat the property at no additional charge. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Some Pest Problems Require Specialized Treatment
General pest control is an excellent way to manage many common pests, but not every pest responds to the same approach. Alco Pest Control also offers specialized services for Memorial area properties.
While general pest control addresses many common insects, certain pests require a specialized approach. Alco Pest Control also offers the following services for Montrose and surrounding Houston area properties.
Each pest requires a different treatment strategy, and Alco can help determine the right service for the problem you're experiencing.
