Why We Do What We Do

sam • April 8, 2024

It was once asked of me after leaving a ministry role, “Have you ever thought about pest control?” My answer was a resounding no. However after some thought, for many reasons, I decided to give it a go. I have learned many answers to why in this job, and some of those I will articulate here.

We Do pest control for our family

It is no secret that we are a business. I want to get this out of the way. We have four kids to provide for, as well as two adults. That makes meals pretty expensive. We aim to provide a roof over our heads, meals for each of us, clothing as needed, and some niceties along the way. We don’t pass on those costs to you, rather, we simply do the best job we can to ensure you will continue to use us for your pest control needs.

We Do pest control to protect your family

We do what we do because it is important. We want you to be able to enjoy your outdoors. We want you to not get swarmed by mosquitos, or watch as ants move up on your outdoor picnic. We want you to not worry about spiders inside biting you in the night. We don’t want your kids to see a wasp’s nest and have the thought “I wonder what would happen if…?” Ultimately, we want you to be safe in your environment. And we do this in a way that is also safe for you, your family, and your pets.

We Do Pest Control to Honor God

We are called to work the land and to "rule over every living creature that moves on the ground." If those creatures are a threat to us, we do what we need to do to protect ourselves form those creatures. Pest Control is no different. Fire Ants are no joke. Black widows and brown recluses can be life altering. An out of control wasp nest can put you in the hospital. Mosquitos can spread debilitating diseases. We aim to "rule over" these creatures in order to keep you safe in your environment.

We do it because we care

There really isn’t much more I need to say other than this:  We know that consistency is key. THAT is why we do NOT do contracts. When you hire us, the same person will come to your house for as long as it is within our control. That person will learn your home, its hot spots, the challenges you have at your home. When it is a different person each time, then problems start to arise.  We only look for the highly detailed to hire. As time goes on, you will find you start to question if you even need pest control any more because it will be so smooth, easy and pest free. We have experienced this. We have lived it. It is possible. Sometimes a service is skipped, and then it is remembered why we were hired in the first place. No house is too big. No house is too small. No business is disqualified. 

We hope to see you soon. Stay safe out there.

In this article, we will lightly discuss a few insects that many people find highly annoying. Each of these has a rather distinct season and generally are best to be left alone unless it is affecting your ability to enjoy life. These insects are not dangerous to humans. This list is organized in order of general emergence in north Texas. We thought about listing them in order of annoyance, but decided we didn’t want to rock that boat too much. And a forewarning... if you are looking for highly technical information, this is not for you. This is intended to be a fun conversation with some pertinent information here and there.
