  • How often should I schedule service?

    Service frequency varies depending on your needs:


    General pest control service: Quarterly service is typical.

    Termite protection: Annual inspections and treatments.

    Mosquito control: Seasonal (spring-fall) with recurring visits.

    Rodent control: Follow-up visits may be needed depending on the infestation.


    At Total Home Pest Solutions, we'll recommend a plan based on your property and needs.

  • How soon can you come out?

    We aim for fast pest control service, often within 24-48 hours of your call. Same-day and emergency appointments will likely be sooner if technician availability allows. Don't let pests take over your home; speak with our experts at Total Home Pest Solutions today and restore comfort, safety, and control to your property.

  • Do I need to be home for the service?

    Not necessarily. Many of our pest control services can be performed while you're away, as long as we can access the necessary areas. We'll coordinate in advance based on your preferences.

  • How long does treatment take?

    Most routine treatments take 30 minutes to one hour. Larger homes or extensive pest control services may take longer.

  • How much does pest control cost?

    Our pest control services include a wide range of prevention and treatments, and so the cost will vary considering these factors:


    Property size

    Type of pest

    Severity of infestation

    Frequency of service


    We offer free inspections and estimates to determine the best solution for your situation, and we will customize a treatment plan that is right for you.

  • Do you offer guarantees?

    Yes. We stand behind all our work.

    We provide satisfaction guarantees with follow-up visits if unwanted visitors return between scheduled pest control services. Termite warranties are available with certain treatments. Contact us today for more information!

  • How do I prepare for service?

    Preparation depends on the pest:

    General pests: Clear clutter and pick up pet food.

    Termites: Remove any cardboard and wood stacks near the foundation.

    If any additional preparation is required for your specific pest control service, we'll send you a prep checklist before your appointment.

  • What will your technician do during the visit?

    Our technician will:


    Inspect your property for pest activity and entry points.


    Identify the pest species.


    Apply targeted treatments (baits, sprays, barriers, traps).


    Discuss recommendations, next steps, and follow-up pest control service plans.

  • Can you help prevent pests before they arrive?

    Absolutely! We offer preventive pest control services that include:


    Moisture control advice


    Yard treatments


    Barrier applications


    Prevention is especially important here in East Texas, where humidity attracts pests.
