Pest Control Designed for Midtown Houston Properties
Midtown is one of Houston's most distinctive neighborhoods, featuring historic homes, modern townhouses, residential developments, restaurants, offices and commercial spaces.
From the residential streets near Bagby and Main Street to properties surrounding Midtown Park and the neighborhood's busy business corridors, the area includes many different types of buildings and pest control challenges.
Houston's warm temperatures, humidity, frequent rain and changing weather conditions can contribute to pest activity throughout much of the year.
In Midtown, pests may find shelter and entry opportunities around:
-
Foundations, patios and landscaped areas
-
Garages and ground level entryways
-
Cracks around doors, windows and exterior walls
-
Plumbing and utility penetrations
-
Mulch, shrubs, trees and areas with excess moisture
-
Shared walls and neighboring structures
-
Outdoor trash and waste-storage areas
Even newer Midtown townhomes and well maintained commercial properties can experience pest problems.
That's why Alco focuses on addressing current pest activity while helping reduce the opportunities for pests to enter your property. Rather than relying on a quick spray when bugs appear, we provide ongoing residential and commercial pest protection designed around the conditions common throughout Houston.

How Alco's Quarterly Pest Control Works
Your Initial Interior & Exterior Pest Treatment
Your first residential general pest control service provides a comprehensive starting point for protecting your home. We treat appropriate areas inside and outside your property to address existing covered pest activity and establish an exterior protective barrier.

-
Appropriate interior treatment areas
-
Interior cracks and crevices
-
Areas around kitchen and bathroom plumbing
-
Exterior perimeter treatment
-
Doors, windows and accessible entry points
-
Garage areas and exterior openings
-
Accessible eaves and areas where insects hide
-
Landscaped areas near the structure
-
Foundation and brick weep-hole areas, where appropriate
Our goal is to address the pests you're seeing while helping reduce future activity around your home.

Quarterly Exterior Only Pest Protection
After your initial treatment, routine residential quarterly maintenance focuses exclusively on the exterior of your home.
Why focus on the outside?
Because many household pests begin outdoors before finding their way inside.
Our exterior focused approach helps maintain a treated barrier around your home while minimizing unnecessary indoor pesticide applications.
Our residential quarterly services are scheduled approximately every 12 weeks.
Benefits include:
-
Consistent exterior pest protection
-
Treatment targeting common pest activity areas
-
Regular service as weather and pest pressure change
-
Less need for routine interior applications
-
Convenient service that generally doesn't require you to be home
-
Covered interior pest callbacks handled under applicable warranty terms
Our exterior treatments also known as our Power Spray, include treating the outside perimeter 3 feet up the walls and 3 feet out into the yard. We sweep down cobwebs and nests from your eaves and windows before we treat them. We also treat your garage, flower beds, and backyard fence line. This knocks out roaches, fire ants, silverfish, earwigs, centipedes and millipedes before they can sneak inside.
As a free bonus, we will always treat any active fire ant mounds we see in the yard. While the free yard spot treatments are not warrantied, we do have full yard options available if you ever want complete yard coverage which is warrantied for 1 year.
The product label comes with a 2 month warranty, but we find that in most cases, our customers do great with treatment every 3 months.
You get professional pest protection without having to rearrange your schedule for an interior treatment every three months.

Common Pests We Treat in Midtown Houston
Midtown properties can experience many of the same pests found throughout Greater Houston. Our standard residential quarterly pest control program is designed to help manage several common crawling pests.
Cockroaches
Large outdoor cockroaches often enter homes through garages, doorways, plumbing penetrations and foundation openings. Houston's warm, humid conditions can contribute to ongoing roach activity. Alco's general pest service targets covered roach activity while helping reduce the opportunities for these insects to enter your home.
Fire Ants
Fire ants can establish mounds in lawns, landscaped areas and other outdoor spaces.
As a courtesy during general pest control service, we treat visible fire ant mounds found on the property. This courtesy service is different from our separate, comprehensive whole-yard fire ant treatment and does not carry the whole-yard guarantee.
Silverfish
Silverfish favor humid, protected areas and may appear around bathrooms, closets, storage spaces and other locations where moisture is present.
Earwigs
Earwigs are commonly associated with moisture, landscaping and protected outdoor areas. They may occasionally enter homes through small openings near the foundation.
Centipedes
Centipedes may be found in damp areas where other insects are present, including locations around foundations, garages and protected exterior spaces.
Millipedes
Millipedes often live around mulch, soil and damp landscaping. Heavy rain and changing moisture conditions can cause them to move toward structures or enter homes.
Occasional Spiders
Our general pest service can address occasional spiders as part of routine pest management. However, a spider infestation requires specialized treatment and is not included in Alco's standard general pest control coverage. Not sure what kind of pest you're dealing with? We'll help identify the concern and recommend the appropriate treatment.

Signs You May Need Professional Pest Control in Midtown
Some pest problems are easy to recognize. Others may continue unnoticed until activity becomes more widespread.
Consider professional pest control if you're noticing:
-
Roaches in kitchens, bathrooms or garages
-
Insects entering around doors or windows
-
Fire ant mounds in landscaped areas
-
Silverfish in damp rooms or storage areas
-
Earwigs or millipedes around exterior walls
-
Centipedes appearing indoors
-
Increased insect activity following heavy rainfall
-
Recurring bugs despite using store-bought products
-
Pest activity around your business's entrances or storage areas
Repeated pest activity can indicate that insects are finding favorable conditions around your property or entering through openings you haven't noticed. Professional pest control can help address the immediate concern and reduce recurring problems. Don't wait until a small pest problem becomes a bigger headache.

Why Year Round Pest Control Matters in Midtown Houston
Houston's climate makes pest prevention an ongoing concern.
Hot summers, mild winters, heavy rain and humidity can allow different pests to remain active during much of the year.
Midtown's combination of landscaping, residential developments, closely spaced buildings and commercial activity also creates different conditions for pest movement and shelter.
Rain can drive certain crawling pests toward buildings, while warm weather and moisture can encourage insect activity around landscaping and foundations.
That's why Alco recommends routine quarterly residential pest control rather than waiting for a new pest problem to develop.
For homeowners, refreshing the exterior treatment approximately every 12 weeks helps maintain protection as weather conditions and pest activity change.
For Midtown businesses, our customized commercial pest control includes regular interior and exterior treatments, typically every 4–5 weeks, to help manage ongoing pest activity and maintain protection throughout the year. Treatment areas and schedules are tailored to each business's specific needs.
Consistent, year-round pest protection helps keep unwanted pests under control, whether you're protecting your family at home or your customers, employees, and business!
