Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions Dallas, Richardson, and Plano homeowners ask us most. Do not see yours here? Call us at 469-618-9991 and we will be happy to help.

How often should I get pest control service in Dallas?

Most Dallas-area homes do well on a quarterly service schedule. Texas summers and mild winters keep pests active nearly year-round, so quarterly visits catch seasonal invaders (ants and mosquitoes in warm months, rodents and cockroaches seeking shelter as temperatures shift) before they turn into a bigger problem. Homes with a history of heavy infestations or that back up to greenbelts may benefit from a monthly plan instead.

Is pest control safe for pets and kids?

Yes. We use products and application methods labeled and approved for use in homes with children and pets, and we follow the label instructions on every treatment. If you have specific concerns, such as a fish tank, reptile enclosure, or a pet with sensitivities, let our technician know before the visit so we can plan around it.

What are the signs of a bed bug infestation?

Look for small reddish-brown stains on sheets or mattress seams, tiny dark spots (bed bug droppings) along mattress edges or baseboards, a musty odor in the bedroom, and small itchy welts on your skin that appear in a line or cluster after sleeping. If you notice any of these, do not wait. Bed bugs spread quickly between rooms and even to neighboring units.

How much does a termite inspection cost, and how often do I need one?

We offer free termite inspections for Dallas, Richardson, and Plano homeowners. We recommend an annual inspection at minimum, since subterranean termites work underground and out of sight, and Texas is high-risk termite territory. If your home has never been inspected or it has been more than a year, it is worth getting on the schedule.

Do you offer one-time or emergency pest control service?

Yes. While most of our customers are on a recurring plan, we also handle one-time and emergency situations such as a bee swarm, a sudden rodent problem, or a bed bug scare. One-time services come with a 30-day warranty.

What areas do you serve?

We provide pest control throughout Dallas, Richardson, Plano, and the surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. HK Pest Control Services is licensed in Texas (TPCL #13923) and fully insured, so you can feel confident letting our technicians into your home or business.

What makes professional treatment better than DIY store-bought products?

Store-bought sprays and traps typically kill what you can see but leave the source of the infestation (the nest, colony, or entry points) untouched, so pests come back within weeks. Our technicians identify the root cause, use professional-grade products not available to consumers, and follow up as needed, backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
