Services
Pest Control
Our residential and commercial pest control services target common South Texas pests like ants, cockroaches, and spiders. We use thorough inspections and customized treatment plans, including monthly, quarterly, or annual maintenance. Our approach combines liquid barriers, baiting systems, and exclusion techniques to prevent infestations while prioritizing safety for families and pets.
Termite Control
Specializing in subterranean termite management, we offer pre-construction, post-construction, and baiting system solutions. Our treatments create chemical barriers or use slow-acting baits to eliminate colonies. With entomologists on staff and 10-year warranty options, we provide Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) reports for real estate transactions and ongoing protection for homes and businesses.
Bee Removal
We safely remove honey bee hives from residential and commercial properties using protective gear and specialized techniques. Our team assesses hive location and accessibility, opting for removal when possible or extermination when necessary. We also repair damage caused by hives and prevent future infestations through exclusion methods.
Mosquito Control
Our mosquito misting systems use biodegradable pyrethrum-based insecticides to reduce mosquito populations. Installed around properties, these automated systems release timed mists to disrupt breeding cycles. Ideal for homes, patios, and commercial spaces, the low-residue solution targets mosquitoes while minimizing environmental impact.
Commercial Pest Control
Tailored pest management plans for businesses in industries like hospitality, healthcare, and oil & gas. Services include monthly inspections, customized treatment schedules, and compliance with safety standards. We handle infestations in apartments, restaurants, and industrial sites, offering 24/7 emergency response for critical pest issues affecting operations.
Questions
Are pest control chemicals safe for families and pets?
Our treatments use EPA-registered chemicals applied according to safety guidelines. We prioritize low-toxicity options and provide safety instructions for temporary areas of concern.
How does termite baiting work compared to liquid barriers?
Termite bait stations use slow-acting toxins that termites carry back to colonies, eliminating them over time. Liquid barriers repel or kill termites on contact, creating a protective perimeter around structures.
What pests are most common in South Texas?
Top pests include subterranean termites, bed bugs, fire ants, crazy ants, fleas, roaches, and carpenter ants. Our services target these species with region-specific treatment strategies.
Do you offer emergency pest control services?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency response for urgent issues like bee swarms, termite infestations, or rodent problems affecting homes and businesses.
Can you remove bees without killing them?
When possible, we relocate honey bee hives by coordinating with local beekeepers. If removal isn't feasible due to location or safety concerns, extermination becomes necessary to protect property occupants.

We had Bricker Pest control come out to spray our place in Matagorda because we had an ant problem. They were knowledgeable, punctual, great communication, and took care of our pest problem the first time they came out. We trust them to treat our house even when we are not there. We highly recommend Bricker Pest to treat any of your pest problems.

Report
I called Bricker Pest Control after working with another company who didn't eradicate the rodent running around in the crawl space between the two floors of our home. After setting some small and large traps, placing bait in some key spots, and plugging a hole where the rodents were suspected to be entering, the scratching that used to wake me up at night stopped and hasn't returned. Tim did a great job - he was here when he said he'd be here, he was very professional, he worked to eradicate the rodent, and to make sure no other rodents would enter through that spot. I'm happy to not hear that

I called last Thursday after I noticed a funky smell at my mothers house and I was able to get an appointment for Monday(amazing given the short notice for an appointment) Tim arrived and was able to find the issue ( a possum that was dead as dead can be) He was super helpful and gave our family a good explanation on what we need to do to prevent this from happening again! We will for sure be using Bricker Pest again!
