Services
Mosquito Treatments
Our professionals combine Sentricon products with fogging treatments to create mosquito-free zones. We target breeding grounds through larvicide applications while applying residual adulticides for lasting protection. Our barrier spray method delivers 21-30 days of effectiveness depending on weather conditions. The process begins with identifying standing water sources and vegetation harborage before implementing customized solutions tailored to property size and landscape features.
Termite Control
We install Sentricon bait stations around properties to establish early detection systems against subterranean termites. Our liquid termiticide barriers prevent colony expansion while monitoring stations track termite activity. Treatments follow structural pest control board protocols ensuring safety for occupants and environment. Annual inspections verify continued protection while our Platinum Plan covers retreatment costs when active termites are discovered.
Cockroach Control
Our process begins with comprehensive inspections to identify infestation sources and species type. Following crack and crevice treatments with gel baits, we apply residual sprays in entry points and harborage areas. The service includes sealing gaps around plumbing penetrations while educating customers about sanitation practices. Follow-up visits within 2-3 weeks ensure complete eradication of egg stages and nymph populations.
Rodent Control
We install tamper-resistant bait stations at $39/month with free quarterly refills. Exclusion services seal entry points larger than 1/4 inch while conducting thorough building inspections. Our technicians apply tracking powder in wall voids and set mechanical traps in active zones. The program includes preventive measures like removing food sources and sealing foundation cracks to prevent reinfestation.
Protection Plan
Our Gold Plan offers quarterly visits with 6ft perimeter treatments using Demand CS. For $39 monthly, customers receive fire ant control up to 40ft from structures and unlimited re-services between scheduled visits. The Platinum Plan adds mosquito treatments and enhanced rodent control. Both include annual termite inspections with 100% satisfaction guarantee covering retreatment costs.

I have switched services to use EcoStar. They are fantastic! They are great to work with and easy to get on the schedule when needed. They helped take care of rodents in the attic and garage! Their customer service is outstanding. Their technician Josh was extremely attentive and willing to take care of any concerns, send him out every time. Well worth the money to take care of the Texas size bugs and rodents!

We have been calling to get our money back. They charged us two months with no service. The lady we talked to kept saying she needs to ask her boss and nobody is answering our calls! Be professional people! if we ended our service you should take it off from auto pay.

We have been using Eco Pest control for the last six months and so far our new build home has been having little to no bugs showing up inside the home. EcoStar comes out when requested in between scheduled maintenance (every quarter) at no extra charge. Thankful for their service
