San Antonio, TX sits in the Texas Hill Country, where pest control concerns are dominated by brown recluse spiders in older properties, fire ants on the limestone-rich soil, summer scorpion activity, and tick exposure from adjacent natural areas. Iron Gate Pest Control Texas works with San Antonio and Bexar County homeowners on pre-1990 residential properties — pier-and-beam crawlspace inspection, original-construction termite history review, and exclusion work tailored to settled wood-frame architecture.
Across San Antonio neighborhoods, the same handful of pest categories drive most service calls. The service menu below covers what we actually treat in this market.

Termite Inspection & Treatment for San Antonio properties
Exterior door thresholds in pier-and-beam homes are common termite entry points where wood meets concrete porch slabs. The transition zone often holds organic debris and moisture that creates concealed foraging access.

San Antonio Ant Extermination
Carpenter ant galleries track water intrusion paths exactly. Find the gallery and you've located the moisture problem — a roof leak, a window flashing failure, or a hidden plumbing slow-drip that's been ongoing for months or years.

San Antonio Rodent Control
Brick weep holes 3/8 inch wide admit mice readily into wall cavities. Stainless steel weep hole covers — designed for this specific purpose — exclude rodents without affecting the moisture drainage the weep holes provide.

Mosquito Fogging — San Antonio
Restaurants and bars with outdoor dining in San Antonio need mosquito management that customers experience as effective without seeing or smelling treatment. ULV fog applied before opening dissipates by service hours but leaves residual harborage treatment.

San Antonio Bed Bug Treatment
Hot dryer cycles at 120°F+ for 30+ minutes kill all bed bug life stages in fabrics. Washing alone doesn't reach lethal temperatures in most water heater configurations — the dryer provides the kill, not the wash.

Spider Removal for San Antonio properties
Yellow sac spiders in San Antonio bedrooms account for many spider bites homeowners attribute to brown recluse. The species hunts at night across walls and bedding, biting sleeping people when contacted accidentally.

Cockroach Eradication — San Antonio
Apartment trash compactor rooms and chutes in San Antonio multifamily housing maintain American cockroach populations that pressure entire buildings. Property management cockroach control programs that don't address compactor areas produce limited results.

Flea & Tick Control for San Antonio properties
Ehrlichiosis transmitted by lone star ticks in San Antonio produces flu-like symptoms 1-2 weeks post-bite. The species' aggressive biting behavior makes ehrlichiosis the most common Bexar County tick-borne disease.

Wildlife Exclusion Services — San Antonio
Squirrels enlarge existing gaps in San Antonio home exteriors rather than chewing fresh holes through intact material. The species exploits small weaknesses — gaps as small as 1.5 inches — and progressively widens entry points over weeks.
