Licensed pest control professionals serving Texas homeowners and businesses since 2010.
Iron Gate Pest Control Texas was founded in 2010 with a focused mission: bring reliable, effective, and environmentally responsible pest control to Texas homeowners and businesses. We started serving the Houston metro area and have grown to cover 96 cities across all major Texas regions — Gulf Coast, Hill Country, Blackland Prairie, Panhandle, East Texas Piney Woods, Rio Grande Valley, and West Texas desert. Each region presents its own pest pressure profile, and we've built the regional knowledge to match.
Every technician on our team completes ongoing training on EPA-registered treatment products and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) protocols. We don't send untrained help — we send experienced applicators who can identify pest species in the field and apply the right treatment the first time. Note that Texas requires structural pest control work to be performed under a license issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture; you can verify any pest control company's license status directly on the TDA website before hiring.
Effective pest control starts with accurate species identification. Different pests need fundamentally different treatments — fire ant bait won't work on carpenter ants, and the wrong perimeter spray can cause Argentine ant colonies to split and multiply. Our technicians spend time on every inspection to understand exactly what you're dealing with before recommending any treatment.
Our treatment philosophy is Integrated Pest Management (IPM) — the standard approach used by university extension programs and large commercial accounts. IPM combines targeted chemical treatment, physical exclusion (sealing entry points), habitat modification (removing food, water, and shelter that sustain pests), and ongoing monitoring. This solves pest problems at their source rather than managing surface symptoms.
We handle the full range of residential and commercial pest pressures: termite inspection and treatment (subterranean, Formosan, and drywood), ant extermination (fire ants, carpenter ants, Argentine, odorous house ants, tawny crazy ants), rodent control (roof rats, Norway rats, house mice, deer mice), mosquito fogging (residential and commercial properties, event treatments), bed bug treatment (heat and chemical), spider removal (including brown recluse and black widow), cockroach eradication (German and American), flea and tick control, and wildlife exclusion (raccoons, squirrels, opossums, bats, armadillos).
We serve 96 Texas cities including Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, El Paso, Corpus Christi, and dozens of additional metros, suburbs, and smaller cities across the state. Browse our locations page for the full city list. If your city isn't on the list, call (833) 773-4577 — we frequently add coverage for cities near our existing service area.
In Texas, structural pest control work must be performed under a license issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) through its Structural Pest Control Service program. Before hiring any pest control company — including us — you can look up its current license status directly on the TDA website. We're glad to provide our license and insurance details on request; ask at the time of inspection or call our office. We recommend every homeowner verify credentials independently rather than taking any company's word for it, ours included.
When you call us, you'll speak with a real team member — no automated systems — who'll ask about the pest issue you're seeing, your property type, and the urgency. We schedule a free on-site inspection at a time that works for you, typically within 24-48 hours and same-day for active infestations. After inspection, you receive a written quote describing the species identified, the recommended treatment protocol, what's covered, and the cost. There's no pressure to commit on the spot — take the quote, compare, and call us back when you're ready.
