RIVER OAKS, RIGHT NOW
What Is Biting in River Oaks This Month
River Oaks sits along the Trinity River west of downtown, with housing that mostly dates to the 1940s through 60s. The river bottom brings mosquitoes and the occasional rodent pressure; the age of the housing brings gaps at the brick and the foundation.
The River Bottom
Lots near the Trinity and its drainage see heavier mosquito pressure and more rodent traffic than the interior streets. We treat the boundary with the bottomland as the front line.
Older Brick and Pier-and-Beam
Some of the oldest housing on our map. Exclusion comes first: weep holes, crawl-space vents, door sweeps and utility penetrations. Once closed, the perimeter treatment holds.
EVERY PROGRAM WE RUN HERE
Pest Services in River Oaks
A visit every 21 days, April through September. Mature tree canopy holds shade and humidity, so pressure runs heavier than in the newer subdivisions.
Year-round, four visits a year. Perimeter and eaves, 25 feet out, fire ants included, Delta Dust in the weep holes.
Grubs and armyworms in established Bermuda and St. Augustine, chinch bugs wherever the turf was replaced recently.
THE FIRST VISIT
What We Look At First in River Oaks
How Old the House Is
It decides the plan. An older River Oaks home gets exclusion first: weep holes, door sweeps and utility penetrations that have had decades to open up. Once the gaps are closed, the perimeter treatment has far less work to do.
The Weep Holes, Either Way
Old brick or new, the weep holes along the bottom course are the most-used entrance into a North Texas home. We dust them with Delta Dust on every visit, and if you want them sealed for good, copper mesh is an add-on.
Mulch, Leaf Litter and Shade
Established yards collect the harborage pests love: deep mulch against the slab, leaf litter under shrubs, damp shade that never dries out. We point out what to pull back from the foundation and treat what stays.
