BEDFORD, RIGHT NOW
What Is Biting in Bedford This Month
Bedford is a mature suburb, mostly built between the 1960s and 90s, with big trees, established landscaping and the Bear Creek corridor cutting through town. That mix means mosquitoes and ticks along the creek, spiders and scorpions in the layered landscaping, and weep-hole gaps on the older brick.
The Bear Creek Corridor
Lots that back onto the creek and its greenbelts see the heaviest mosquito, tick and chigger pressure in town. We treat that boundary as the front line.
Mature Landscaping
Decades of irrigated beds, shrubs against the brick and deep mulch make covered routes to the foundation. We look at what touches the wall and treat the whole perimeter.
EVERY PROGRAM WE RUN HERE
Pest Services in Bedford
Bedford's mature, irrigated landscaping and the Bear Creek greenbelt keep mosquito pressure up through the whole summer. Every 21 days from April through September we fog the shrubs and beds where they rest; a typical Bedford lot is $59.95 a visit, with smaller lots at $49.95.
A Bedford house on Home Defender gets four treatments a year covering the walls, eaves and 25 feet of ground around the foundation, and Delta Dust goes into the weep holes each visit since brick from the 1960s through 90s has opened at those points. Fire ant treatment is included and the plan runs $30 to $54 a month by house size.
Complete Home & Lawn Defense treats the whole lawn on top of the perimeter, which suits Bedford lots with a lot of irrigated turf, for $40 to $73.50 a month. It is month to month without a contract.
Bedford homes that back onto the Bear Creek corridor or a greenbelt pick up chiggers where the mowing stops. Full-yard treatment on Complete Home & Lawn Defense reaches that back boundary; Home Defender handles the 25 feet nearest the house.
Fire ants in Bedford show up along irrigated bed edges and in the newer 1990s sections more than on the settled 1960s lots. Broadcast bait across the yard is part of both year-round plans, and new mounds after rain are covered without an extra charge.
Chinch bugs in St. Augustine and grubs and armyworms in Bermuda are found across Bedford, with chinch bugs worst in the hottest, sunniest strips along driveways. We use a float test or tug test to confirm before treating.
THE FIRST VISIT
What We Look At First in Bedford
What Touches the Brick
Decades of irrigated beds and shrubs planted tight against Bedford houses form a covered path to the foundation. We look at mulch depth, what leans on the wall and where sprinklers keep the slab wet, then treat the perimeter accordingly.
The Greenbelt Boundary
A lot that backs onto Bear Creek or a greenbelt gets the heaviest mosquito, tick and chigger pressure in Bedford. That back fence is treated like the front door.
Weep Holes on 1970s and 80s Brick
The brick is not ancient, but thirty to fifty years is plenty for weep holes and thresholds to open. We dust them with Delta Dust, seal them with copper mesh at no extra charge, and note anything else worth closing.
