I was using other service providers before Forterra...but after Forterra I do not think I need to look for better service... they know what they are doing and how it is being done!!
They have a unique style of integrating with customer...they are not counting $ on every question you ask...they will help you understand what they are doing and what you can do if you want to do by yourself!! This has influence.... people like me do not want to wait until someone come and help at the time of any crisis, we must act to protect the damage!! so we must know what we can do.... then call the expert to take the necessary steps to fix the issue!!
Forterra is an excellent company and I recommend this to everyone!!
Best Wishes

Drake was the exterminator sent to service my home. Drake was an absolute rock star. He called when he was in route. I had to send his call to voicemail because I was in a meeting. Drake didn't just leave a voicemail and wait fit me to call back, he took the extra step to send a text.
Upon his arrival he asked questions to ensure he understood my concerns then he shared his thoughts on the best plan of attack. He then executed the plan, keeping me informed on every step. He was also respectful of the inside of my home and involved me in deciding the best placement of baits.
My experience with Forterra was very positive. I will use them again as well as refer them to others.
I recently switched from a big company to Forterra and it was a great decision. Small company and the customer service has been on point. Every employee I’ve spoken with actually cares and takes the time to solve the issue. Techs at the bigger pest companies try to get as many routes as possible and it’s hard to get them back out when issues pop up. Ean has been my tech and is thorough and explains everything.
Every time they come to my home, they have the best customer service I’ve experienced from a pest control company. Each one of them have great mannerism, they are polite, and actually smile and converse with you. Definitely recommend Forterra.
So far everything has been great! The value is outstanding with the professionalism and quality service I’ve received. Garrett signed us up and explained everything thoroughly. Andrew came the following day and went to work immediately. He showed us a few things he was concerned about that might need our attention. He was very polite and efficient. I hope for a great, bug free year, using Forterra! Thanks 😊
Jason was awesome to work with. He came a little early, walked me through the whole process, and was highly knowledgable. We were just moving in so he actually helped me find many problem areas to note in my own move-in rental inspection aside from pest-related issues including finding cracks in the walls, broken areas in trim, etc. and recommending some valuable resources. We very much appreciate this and he was very fast as well!
No one likes having pests crawling in their home, and that is why Forterra Pest Control is proud to offer full prevention and general pest coverage so that you never have to worry about seeing a cockroach, ant, or any other crawling pest again in Dallas TX!
Our pest prevention approach is simple but powerful — we first create a barrier around your home to stop pests from entering through small cracks and crevices. Then, our team of expert technicians will apply a protective barrier on your home, ensuring you get under hard-to-reach places that pests love, such as behind the stove or in a crawl space. When we come into your home to apply pest treatments, we ensure our technicians are equipped with the best products on the market that are safe for your family, pets, and plants.
After we apply our initial treatments and stop any pests you may face in their tracks, we move into full-on prevention mode. Our techs will look for worry areas, such as a broken seal that could allow a spider or another bug to slip into your home. We patch those up for you so you can rest easily at night, knowing that your home is 100% protected with the Forterra Promise.

When you hire Forterra pest control, we will inspect your property to understand the best approach to remove mosquitoes from your backyard in Plano or Fort Worth. Once we understand the mosquitoes’ breeding and feeding habits, we will get to work. Our professional technicians will apply family, plant, and pet-safe treatments to protect your yard all year.

In Texas, it isn’t a question of if but a question of when you will have a termite problem and that is especially true in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. It doesn’t matter if you are talking about subterranean termites, dyrwood termites or even dampwood termites, sooner or later your home is going to have an encounter with these wood destroying organisms.
That is why Forterra Pest Controller offers prevention and extermination so that your home can be protected from every type of pest.
When you hire a pest control company to help prevent termites you can typically prevent a barrier that stop subterranean termites from crawling their way to your home but when you hire Forterra, not only will you get the subterranean barrier but also a protective barrier that will surround and protect your entire property. That way, no matter what type of termite is approaching your home, you will know that you are protected. Oh, and the best part? All of our services are 100% guaranteed. That means you can rest easy knowing that your home is protected from hungry termites.
Dealing with nasty rodents that might be the size of a small dog? Not a problem for the expert technicians at Forterra! Most rodent problems, such as rats, mice, moles, voles, etc. can be treated in a series of steps. However, depending on the rodent that you are facing on your property will determine the correct approach to take. There are a couple of steps that do remain constant, and those are as follows.
A Forterra rep will come to your property and do a full assessment to understand exactly what you are dealing with, the extent of the damage, and how to prevent future problems. For example, if you are dealing with rats, we will look for entry points such as broken screens or loose siding that allow them to slip into an opening. Then we will look for any damage, such as chewed wire, missing insulation, or feces that have been left behind.
At that point, we should know precisely what you are dealing with, and that is when we will get to work. We will lay the appropriate traps, baits, and other methods of removal in a secure spot that your pets and kids won’t be able to reach — and even if they could, all of our treatments are pet and family safe.
Then we will come back as often as needed to make sure the problem is taken care of the correct way so that you do not face another rodent problem down the road.
A pest-infested business is one of the fastest ways to send customers running in the other direction and that is why Forterra is proud to offer commercial pest control services that will protect your business and keep your customers happy.

Additionally, for businesses that need sensitive products due to the nature of their business we will work with you to make sure that you have the best products available to protect your business.
Each of our commercial pest control options come with a pest management plan that will ensure that your current pest problem will be eliminated and you will be protected from future pest infestations.
Over 25 different species of ants often invade homes in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metro Area, and most of them live underground in colonies. In their colonies, they have distinct roles, such as worker ants, queen ants, etc. The ants you see in your home are tasked with finding food and returning it to the colony. In fact, you will often see a line of black ants in your kitchen because ants communicate with pheromones and an original and laid a path from their colony to the food source that all the other ants are following.
This is the secret to effectively treating ants — you have to get the forging ants to take the bait back to the colony so that the ant pest control treatments are applied to the entire colony, not just the worker ants.
However, not all ants operate this way, and a trail of ants in your kitchen or bathroom is not the only way to determine if you have an ant infestation. Some ant species, such as the carpenter ant, will actually take the wood from your home to build their nest. Contrary to popular belief, carpenter ants don’t eat wood but use it for their nests. So if you see wood shavings piled up next to the foundation of your home, then it is best to call a pest control company for an inspection because you may have carpenter ants or a need for termite control.
Bed bugs are small pests that can cause series problems if not treated immediately by a professional pest control company. This is because bed bugs spread from room to room and the longer you wait the harder it is going to be to rid your home of these small, brownish apple seed-like pests. Most people in Dallas Tx are horrified when they hear that they have a bed bug infestation but in truth, it is never their fault.
Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers and can easily catch a ride and invade your home. Most people in Plano or Arlington get bed bugs from riding on public transportation, staying at hotels, or staying at an infected home. Bed bugs will crawl on luggage, your clothes, or anything they can get a hold of and then hold on until they find a quiet and dark place. From here, they will scurry away and squeeze into a tight space and then weigh until their host is asleep or ideal for a long-period of time. This is when they start feeding which will leave red marks that are clustered together.
Bed bugs also have egg cycles and this is another complex factor in exterminating them. When you hire a professional pest control service from one of the many reputable pest control companies in Dallas, TX you have to make sure that they guarantee their service. This is because heat treatments and other traditional treatments will only affect living bed bugs and not those that are about to hatch.
To ensure that Forterra can rid your property of bed bugs we not only guarantee our service but every service has two treatments to break the egg cycle and help you live pest free.
There are over 30,000 identified species of wasps. Do you need to know that? Nope. Do we need to know that as pest control experts? Also, no. Lucky for everyone, treating wasps and hornets is very similar regardless of the species.
Wasps tend to be more aggressive and a lot more useless than bees. They don’t produce honey and don’t lose their stingers when they attack. Unfortunately, this also means their ability to sting is endless. A sting by a bee is a death sentence for the insect, and you’ll keep the stinger as a token. (Lucky you!)
Our general pest prevention service includes knocking down wasps and nests that build up around your roofline throughout the year. This is a critical step in managing wasp populations. When temperatures drop in the fall, we see wasps sneak inside homes (especially in chimneys). If you see wasps inside your home or business, call us. Because literally, no one wants that.
When you call Forterra one of our customer service representatives will answer and help you understand your wasp or hornet infestation better. In fact, our customer service representatives are why we are considered the best pest control company in Dallas-Fort Worth. Our goal is to help you live pest free all year long.
There are three main types of cockroaches in the DFW Metroplex and those are the American Cockroach, the German Cockroach, and the Oriental Cockroach. Each of these roaches has different habits, breeding cycles, and preferences when it comes to the homes they invade. But each of these cockroaches carries various diseases and can cause a serious problem if they are left untreated by a pest control professional.
The best way to prevent cockroaches is to keep your property as clean as possible. Roaches are attracted to crumbs on your floors or counters, rotting garbage, and dirty dishes that have been piling up for too long. But, just because you have a cockroach infestation doesn’t mean that it is 100% your fault. These pests can be brought into your home if they are around it or close to it. For example, if you live next to a busy park that has trash that often piles up and attracts cockroaches, it is fair to assume that these roaches have wandered from their main source of food to yours to find protection from the elements or water.
However you may have gotten cockroaches, so it is best to treat them right away before they spread and can cause a major infestation. When you call Forterra Pest Control, we will treat your cockroach infestation in two cycles so that we can break up their hatching cycle and make sure the pests are gone. Then, we will apply a protective barrier around your home so that these pests don’t come back.
Mosquitoes are small, flying insects that are well known for their role in the spread of diseases such as malaria and the West Nile Virus. Mosquitoes are most active during the summer months when they lay their eggs in standing water.
Most homeowners think that they need to use tiki torches filled with citronella to deter mosquitoes from their yard but that isn't the most effective way to stop mosquitoes from ruining your summer plans. The best way to protect your family from itchy bites is to call a local exterminator company like Forterra.
Pest control companies have a variety of methods for dealing with mosquitoes, depending on the specific situation. In some cases, they may use traditional treatments to control mosquitoes on contact if standing water is found on the property. However, this is not always effective, as not all mosquitoes will be in the area during the time of treatment. In extreme cases, pest control companies may release mosquitoes that have been infected with a disease, such as the Wolbachia virus. This method is effective in reducing the overall mosquito population, as the infected mosquitoes will pass the disease on to other mosquitoes when they mate. The best type of mosquito treatments will be unique to your property and the situation as a neighbor with standing water could be causing the infestation that is driving you mad.
The most common rodents in Dallas are mice, rats, and squirrels. Unfortunately, we see them all over the place — inside, outside, and in between.
Rodents can cause serious damage to your home. Rats in particular will eat just about anything, including electrical wiring, walls, and water lines. In other words? Rats can cause fires (they’ve caused about 25% of U.S. home fires) and floods. Take rat infestations seriously for your own peace of mind, safety, and property, and call a professional pest control service for an inspection if you think you might have an infestation.
If you’re concerned about rodents outside your home, you can typically control populations with a variety of products ranging from baits to traps. Bait (rodenticide) effectively kills a rodent in 3-6 days but relies on them actually eating it. If baits aren’t working, there are likely alternative food sources for your pests to chow down on (like a nearby restaurant dumpster).
If you’re experiencing a rodent infestation on the inside of your home, it means there’s a tiny rat-sized entrance somewhere on your property. While that’s pretty basic, it escapes many customers’ minds in the heat of the moment. When Forterra deals with a rodent situation inside a home or business, we think about 1) trapping and 2) sealing off entry points to prevent re-infestation.
Rodent issues inside also increase dramatically during the colder months as they move inside seeking warmth and food. Call us today if you’re dealing with any rodent issues.
Everyone’s seen the commercials of your house falling down because of termites. Is that real? Yes and no. Has it happened before? Not that we’ve ever seen (though we’ve seen some really close calls). But could it happen? Yes.
If an infestation is left untreated for long enough, termites can cause serious damage. Take swift action with termite control
The most common type of termite in the DFW area is the subterranean termite. Other types, which we don’t typically see here, include Dampwood, Drywood, and Formosan. Formosan termites are found along the gulf coast and have been known to occasionally infest homes in Dallas, although it’s much rarer.
If you suspect you have termites, you need a professional termite inspection done by a pest control specialist who is licensed with the state of Texas in the Termite category. Many companies, including Forterra Pest Control, will perform the inspection for free. The termite inspector will be looking for evidence of termite activity such as mud tubes around the outside of the home, discarded termite wings, or damaged wood.
If you live in a pier and beam house, the inspection and treatment process is more complicated and requires a full inspection of the crawl space. Subterranean termites live in colonies in the ground and the crawl space is typically the first place they’ll go as they search for food. If your home is old or did not receive a termite pre-treatment during the initial building process, you are much more susceptible to a termite infestation.
Termites are extremely common in DFW and should be taken seriously as they can cause significant damage to your home and be a big sticking point for buyers in real estate transactions. They feed on wood and can cause aesthetic and structural damage. If you think you have or might have a termite problem please don’t hesitate to call for our termite control options.
Forterra treats homes and businesses for termite infestations regularly. However, our most recommended and frequently used service is our Termite Prevention Plan. Call us today to learn more about how to protect your home against termites before they become a problem.
