Pest Control Designed for Montrose's Unique Homes and Properties
Montrose is one of Houston's most distinctive neighborhoods, featuring historic homes, charming bungalows, modern townhouses, apartments, beautiful landscaping, and vibrant local businesses. But no matter how beautiful your property is, Houston's warm climate, frequent rainfall, humidity, and surrounding vegetation can create favorable conditions for unwanted pests.
Historic Homes and Older Buildings
Older homes often have small gaps around foundations, windows, doors, plumbing, and other structural openings where pests can find their way inside.
Modern Townhomes and Urban Residences
Even newer construction can experience pest problems. Attached structures, garages, landscaped courtyards, and exterior utility openings can all provide opportunities for pest activity.
Mature Trees and Landscaping
Montrose's beautiful trees, flower beds, mulch, and shaded outdoor spaces can also provide shelter and moisture for insects.
Restaurants, Shops, and Commercial Properties
Commercial properties have their own pest control challenges, including frequent deliveries, high-traffic entrances, storage areas, and sanitation concerns. That's why Alco doesn't believe in treating every property exactly the same way. We consider the property, the pest activity, and the surrounding conditions when determining the appropriate treatment.

Common Pests We Treat in Montrose, Houston
Houston's climate allows many pests to remain active throughout much of the year.
Alco's general quarterly pest control program is designed to help manage several common crawling insects.
Cockroaches
Seeing large roaches in your kitchen, bathroom, garage, or around your doors? Outdoor cockroaches can enter through small openings and often seek shelter in protected areas. We focus on appropriate treatment locations and potential entry areas to help reduce recurring activity.
Fire Ants
Fire ant mounds can appear in lawns, flower beds, and landscaped spaces. During regular quarterly service, visible fire ant mounds may be treated. For broader outdoor fire ant protection, Alco offers a separate comprehensive whole-yard fire ant treatment with a one-year colony-elimination guarantee.
Silverfish
Silverfish are frequently associated with humid, protected environments, including bathrooms, closets, storage areas, and other moisture-prone spaces.
Earwigs
Earwigs often hide under mulch, leaves, flowerpots, and other damp materials around homes. They may wander inside through openings around the structure.
Centipedes and Millipedes
These pests often thrive in damp areas around landscaping, foundations, and other sheltered outdoor spaces. Heavy rainfall and moisture changes can increase the likelihood of seeing them indoors.
Occasional Spiders and Other Crawling Insects
Our general pest service can address occasional spiders and certain other common crawling insects. Important: A significant spider infestation requires specialized treatment and is not covered under Alco's standard general quarterly pest control program. Specific pest coverage depends on the treatment plan, applicable product labels, and service terms.

How Alco's Quarterly Pest Control Works
Effective pest control isn't about spraying every surface and hoping for the best. Our approach focuses on treating common pest activity while establishing exterior protection around your home.
Step 1: Your Initial Interior and Exterior Treatment
Your first service establishes the foundation for ongoing pest protection.
Depending on the property and pest activity, your treatment may include:
-
Appropriate interior treatment areas
-
Exterior foundation and perimeter treatment
-
Areas around windows and doors
-
Accessible eaves and other exterior openings
-
Garage areas and potential entry points
-
Brick weep holes and exterior cracks
-
Flower beds and landscaped areas
-
Other areas identified during service
Our goal is to address existing covered pest activity while reducing opportunities for insects to enter your home.
Step 2: Exterior-Only Quarterly Maintenance
After the initial treatment, your regularly scheduled quarterly services focus on the exterior of your home. Approximately every 12 weeks, we return to refresh appropriate exterior treatment areas and address covered pest activity. This proactive approach helps maintain exterior protection as Houston's weather and pest activity change.
Step 3: Enjoy Convenient Pest Protection
Because routine quarterly maintenance is performed outside, you generally don't need to be home for the appointment. You can go about your day while we maintain your home's exterior pest protection.
And there's another benefit. No contracts. No cancellation penalties. We believe Alco should earn your business through dependable service, not a long-term obligation.

Why Year Round Pest Control Matters in Montrose
Houston's weather creates conditions that allow many insects to remain active throughout the year.
Hot, Humid Summers
Warm temperatures and moisture can increase insect activity around homes, garages, and landscaping.
Heavy Rainfall
Rain can disturb insect habitats and drive certain pests toward foundations, doors, garages, and sheltered indoor spaces.
Cooler Weather
When outdoor conditions change, some pests seek protected areas where they can find shelter.
Urban Landscaping and Construction
Vegetation, outdoor storage, building renovations, and changes to surrounding properties can affect where pests live and move. That's why ongoing pest prevention is often more effective than waiting until you have an obvious infestation.
