As a homeowner you can't ignore the threat of termite damage. The estimated cost of the termite problem (inspection, treatment and repair) in the United States is approaching one billion dollars a year, with an average of about one in every 50 homes being damaged.

Termites are active in almost every state, and they can invade any home or building that is not protected. Chances are, there are termites in your neighborhood right now. If you think termites aren't something to be concerned about, compare them to other common disasters.

Termites do more damage than fires, hurricanes, and tornadoes combined!!

Over 560,000 homes will need the fire department this year, but over 2,000,000 homes will be infested with termites.
Every homeowner worries about severe wind damage in tornado or hurricane seasons- a big storm can destroy a house in seconds. However, termite damage is more widespread, and these insects attack without warning, essentially wrecking the structure of your home.
Fires, floods, tornadoes, and earthquakes are destructive natural hazards that everyone fears. But even when those forces strike, you can help recover your losses through your homeowner's insurance. On the other hand, it's almost impossible to carry insurance against termite damage. Even "all-risk" insurance excludes termites and tax courts have disallowed deductions for termite damage as a casualty loss because the damage is slow, discoverable and preventable.
To protect your home against termites, you need the proper treatment. That's where Cypress Creek Pest Control can help.

Mosquito's are a real problem in the Houston area during the late Spring, Summer and early Fall. Recent years have seen cases of Encephalitis or "Sleeping Sickness" a potentially fatal disease, transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito.

Houston's mild climate and semi tropical conditions, with rainfall averaging more than 44 inches per year make for a continuous mosquito problem usually from earl April through late October.

If your organization would like to learn more about mosquito control or the services available from Cypress Creek Pest Control please drop us a line. We will be glad to talk by phone or give a presentation.

Mosquito Control Basics

Houston's flat terrain and 146" annual rainfall make an ideal environment for mosquitos.

The Harris County Mosquito Control District was created to control mosquitos such as the Culex that spread malaria, encephalitis and Dengue fever.

The Harris County Mosquito Control District's mission is not to control pest mosquitos which disrupt night time and outdoor activities of people in the Houston area.

Cypress Creek Pest Control's fogging programs are designed to CONTROL pest mosquitos in the communities we serve. In no way can any mosquito program totally eliminate mosquitos. A mosquito control program can only keep the mosquito population in a specific area at an acceptable level.

During periods of high rainfall in the summer, the mosquito population will increase, but will usually not decrease during drought because people will begin to water their lawns and create artificial breeding areas in sewers. Communities adjacent to underdeveloped land with standing water can expect to have a constant supply of adult mosquitos ready to invade.

Cypress Creek Pest Control can provide a service level acceptable to a community based on the frequency of fogging. Most communities choose to be serviced once per week and supplement this with extra service during periods of high mosquito activity. Cypress Creek Pest Control has the ability to provide any frequency of service and level of control to meet budget constraints.

Pigeons, starlings, and sparrows can cause damage to your business. If you are having a problem with birds, whether they are roosting or nesting in and around your business, Cypress Creek Pest Control can help.

We offer

• Bird Netting 
• Bird Spikes
• Bird Control gel repellent

We will send out a representative to inspect your facility and give you a written estimate to resolve your bird problems. Please contact us at 281-469-2679 or nobugs@cycreekpestcontrol.com.

Flea infestation is one of the most difficult insects to eliminate because of their small size and resilient nature. Traveling freely into the home on family pets, fleas soon find carpeting and padded furniture to be an excellent habitat. If left undisturbed in a closed house, fleas will thrive and multiply even without a host animal. They are also an excellent carrier of disease. In order to control this aggravating pest you must treat your house, your pet, and your yard at the same time. Call Cypress Creek Pest Control at 281-469-2679 or nobugs@cycreekpestcontrol.com.

 Fleas Can Flee

Spot scratches incessantly and bites into his skin to rid himself of a small, elusive pest: the flea. Eventually, that flea decides to raise a family and it is the homeowner that begins to regret the presence of these unwanted house guests.

Carried into the home on pets, fleas can pose a severe problem when their population explodes inside a structure.

Flea infestations vary considerably each year and the pesky little creatures can sometimes do more than cause itching. In isolated cases, they can carry disease causing organisms, including the plague!

In cases of severe infestation, several steps must be taken. Pets should be taken to a veterinarian for a complete flea bath. While pets are out of the home, an application of insecticides by Cypress Creek Pest Control  is necessary to eliminate the fleas.

You can flea-proof your home by paying particular attention to the pet's behavior, its resting area and carpeted areas. Frequent vacuuming, washing the pet's bedding and shampooing the pet with a special flea shampoo can often control the problem and prevent it from escalating. Remember to remove and seal the vacuum bag for immediate disposal. Have the pet treated by a veterinarian as often as needed. A flea collar alone may not be adequate. If fleas persist, begin bothering humans in the household or continue to bother the pet, call Cypress Creek Pest Control at 281-469-2679 or email us at nobugs@cycreekpestcontrol.com.right away.

They're everywhere, eat almost anything, and have few natural predators. Ants!

Those pesky creepy crawlies are among the most difficult to control pests in the world. The pest control experts at the National Pest Control Association list 20 common varieties of house infesting ants in the U.S.

In most cases, ants are merely a nuisance, but some species can cause damage such as contaminating food, destroying seeds, damaging plants, and even attacking and injuring animals. including humans. Fire ants, common throughout the south, attack and can produce a painful sting Carpenter ants can sometimes do more damage to your home than the dreaded termite.

Methods for controlling ants in your home will vary depending on the species of ant and their behavioral patterns. Cypress Creek Pest Control employs and trains technicians in this delicate art of ant control.

Fire Ants

One of the worst pests in Texas is the fire ant. This ant has a severe sting (which may people are allergic to) and when mounds are disturbed by anything- a lawnmower, a playful pet or even a young child – the colony will attack the intruder. They can also damage outside electrical fixtures and shrubbery. Treating a yard four or five times a year can control this aggressive pest. Call Cypress Creek Pest Control today at 281-469-2679 or nobugs@cycreekpestcontrol.com to get started on your fire ant program!

Pharoah Ants ("Sugar Ants")

Pharaoh ants can infest the walls of your home. The ants are small and yellow in color, which feed on a wide variety of things including sugar, meats, and dead insects. Because of their need of water, they are found most commonly around sinks, drains, and toilets. They are so small that they can enter packages and canisters that look sealed. Regular pest control will not control these pests. Their control requires a special baiting program as well as good sanitation practices. Call Cypress Creek Pest Control at 281-469-2679 or nobugs@cycreekpestcontrol.com to schedule an inspection today! 

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants are found throughout the United States and derive their common name from their habit of hollowing out galleries in pieces of wood for nesting purposes. This nesting habit can result in structural damage. The presence of a carpenter ant nest is sometimes indicated by a rustling sound coming from wall voids or from in the wood where the colony is located. The first step is to determine if the ants present are merely foraging inside or if there is a nest inside the home.
