Exterminator Recs?

We have a serious ant problem.  We have used Terro and gotten rid of them, but they just keep coming back.  I am about to lose my mind!!!

I need a professional on the case!  Any recs?

  • I'm in Galveston, so I don't have any Houston recs, but in the meantime, try cinnamon anywhere you think could be an entry point (window sill, door, etc.)! I came home after a weekend away to ants coming in through my back door. It was 11pm and I didn't know what to do! I remembered my mom telling me about ground cinnamon so I figured it couldn't hurt. It worked! We sprinkled it all along the floor in front of the door and they stopped coming in almost immediately. In the morning, there were no ants to be seen.

    My favorite thing about this is there's no health hazzard for kids or pets. It can't hurt to try in the meantime before you can get an exterminator out.

  • I used McGrath Pest Control about a month ago.  Got rid of our bugs the first time, but they said they will come back free of charge for the next 3 months.  I found them on Angie's list and was very pleased.  I will definitely use them again.

    This is who we use for our pest service and very happy with them.  We also just used McGrath for our Bee problem.  DH dealt with them, so I don't know how they were.
