It started with a scratch. At first, you didn’t think much of it, but your dog had been itching nonstop for a few weeks now. When you took a closer look at your pet's fur, you noticed a small creature hop out of sight which seemed to confirm what you might have already suspected: a flea has been tormenting your beloved furry family member.
You were always aware of termites—even nervous about what would happen if these destructive pests got into your home. At the same time, your worry never really rose to the level of something you were actively worried about. After all, there were no signs of issues in your house. Then, one day, while gardening, you noticed what looked like termite tubes in your yard. You did a little poking around and—yep—definitely termites. Or are they?
When you bought your house, one of the big selling points was the trees. Fully grown, impressive, offering lots of shade and natural beauty—you just can’t get something like that with every home.
As a parent, you wouldn’t want to expose your child to harmful chemicals any more than you would roaches or rodents. Toxic substances threaten the health of everyone in your household—especially the youngest members. With their bodies still developing, babies and kids are more vulnerable to the impact of pest control products than adults.
You were finally getting around to cleaning the garage, a task that was more than overdue. Decorations were still out from several holidays. A bunch of boxes had been broken down but somehow never made it into the recycling bin. A tower of boxes you hadn't yet taken to charity and a pile of unwanted toys formed a sort of ever-growing wall blocking all of it.
You like to be active, and so does your dog. Long walks around the neighborhood. Trips to the dog park. Hiking at the Barton Creek Greenbelt. You never realized you'd be texting your friends, begging for advice. "Give me all your ideas for how to stop fleas from biting me and my dog!" you furiously type into your messaging app.
