Services
Pest Control
Our comprehensive pest control services address common household pests including ants, roaches, and termites. Technicians conduct thorough inspections to identify infestation sources before applying targeted treatments. We offer both conventional and organic solutions tailored to South Texas environmental conditions.
Organic Pest Control
We provide low-impact pest management using ECO-Smart Organics and essential oil-based treatments. This approach combines effective pest elimination with reduced environmental impact through natural repellents like cedarwood and cinnamon bark extracts.
Wildlife Removal
Our humane wildlife removal services address raccoons, squirrels, and snakes using live trapping and exclusion methods. Technicians install preventive measures like chimney caps and weep hole barriers to prevent re-entry while ensuring animal welfare.
Termite Treatment
Specialized termite control services include thorough inspections for Eastern Subterranean and Drywood termites. We implement targeted treatments to protect structural integrity while providing ongoing preventive maintenance plans for residential properties.
Lawn Care
Customized lawn care programs address South Texas seasonal challenges with fertilization and pest management. Our services target common issues like grub worms and brown patch disease while promoting healthy grass growth through balanced nutrient programs.

A colony of yellow jackets invaded our wooden deck and made it impossible for us to enjoy our back yard. George Gimbel from Apple came, exactly when we expected him, and blasted them with insecticide. He took up some of the deck boards, removed the nests, and treated the area further, to assure that they were completely gone. We have always been pleased with the service we've received from Apple Pest Control, and especially from George Gimbel. They stand by their work, and we highly recommend them. Five Stars!

I had a hidden wasp nest in an overgrown area and wasn't sure what to do. Caleb came out and quickly found the suspected area of the nest (which was buried) and was able to destroy the nest. Problem solved in less than 30 minutes and the price was very fair. Highly recommended!

Tech comes to my house. Quotes me a different price then was my understanding. When I ask if we can call someone to clarify, he says "there's no one to call." I ask, "so you're the boss of the company?" And he says "yes. Out in the field, I'm the boss." I do not understand why people have to be rude and unkind. Luckily there's many other pest control companies who'll take my business.

Great service, and if I see a bug in the house, it's dead. That's not a threat, but a fact, their service is good. Terrific communication, and professional techs, and I appreciate the quarterly service. While I wish no pests entered the house, which is unrealistic, on the rare occasion I find one, they're already dead. Highly recommended!

As a home inspector, having a quality pest company on your side is pivotal. I've personally hired Apple Pest-Control over 30 times and can be nothing less than happy with their service. Pricing is amazing, and the use of organic pest control at no additional charge is superb.
