Houston heat is a pool's worst nightmare!

When the water temperature rises above 80Β°F, even a slight dip in chlorine levels can trigger an algae bloom in a matter of hours β€” and a crystal-clear pool can turn a murky green overnight.

The consequences are dire: cloudy water, slimy surfaces, and an unwelcoming environment for swimmers. Consistent weekly service is the key to preventing this catastrophe.

By keeping your chemistry balanced, your filter running efficiently, and your water swim-ready all summer long, you can enjoy a stress-free summer. Imagine spending your weekends lounging by the pool, not scrubbing away at stubborn stains. Ask us about our comprehensive weekly pool service, designed to give you peace of mind and a sparkling clean pool all season long β€” link in bio. πŸ‘‰

They come out after dark, when the sun dips below the horizon and the stars begin to twinkle in the Texas sky. πŸ¦‚

Texas bark scorpions are nocturnal hunters, and a hot, dry Houston summer sends them scurrying out of their underground burrows in search of cool, damp corners inside your home.

They're attracted to the moisture and humidity that seeps into your walls and floors, making your kitchen, bathroom, and basement the perfect hideouts. The good news: they're far more of a nuisance than a danger β€” and a solid exterior barrier keeps them where they belong, outside.

Our team of experts seals up even the tiniest entry points around your foundation, doors, and windows, ensuring that a midnight trip to the kitchen to grab a glass of water stays uneventful and scorpion-free. We use specialized equipment and techniques to identify and block their entry points, giving you peace of mind and a scorpion-free home. So why wait? Call us today to schedule your scorpion-proofing service and take back your home from these unwanted critters! 🐜

Unlike termites, carpenter ants tunnel into damp or damaged wood to build their nests, hollowing out smooth galleries inside beams, window sills, door frames, and decks.

You won't see them chewing your house for food, but you may find small piles of sawdust-like shavings (called frass), faint rustling in the walls, or big black ants trailing along your counters at night.

The common thread is almost always moisture.

Allow roof leak, a damp crawlspace, or wood that stays wet after our summer storms. Because they look so much like termite swarmers, carpenter ants are easy to misidentify, and the two pests need completely different treatments.

If you're seeing large ants indoors this summer, it's worth having them correctly identified before the colony spreads.

Our Houston team locates the nest, treats it at the source, and helps you fix the moisture problem that invited them in.

Before you blame the Houston heat for those brown spots in the lawn, take a closer look β€” it might be chinch bugs. 🌱

Chinch bugs love hot, dry summer weather and go after St. Augustine grass, which is the most common turf across Houston yards.

They pierce the grass and inject a fluid that blocks the plant's water flow, so the blades wilt, yellow, and die. The tell-tale sign: irregular patches of dying grass that start in the sunniest, driest parts of the lawn (often along sidewalks and driveways) and spread outward, sometimes with a yellow-orange halo at the edge.

The tricky part is that chinch-bug damage looks a lot like drought stress β€” so people water more, the problem keeps spreading, and the real cause goes untreated.

If your St. Augustine is browning in patches despite regular watering, it's worth having it checked. Our Houston lawn team can confirm whether it's chinch bugs, drought, or disease, and treat it the right way before it takes over the yard.

🌱 Have ABC Home & Commercial Services check your turf! Link in bio.

Hurricane season runs June through November, and it peaks in late summer β€” which makes right now the smart time to clear your gutters. 🌧️

When gutters fill with leaves and debris, rainwater has nowhere to go. Instead of draining away from the house, it overflows the edges, soaks the fascia and soffits, and pools around the foundation β€” the kind of slow water damage that gets expensive long after the storm passes.

Clogged gutters can also become a cozy home for mosquitoes and other pests.

A quick clean-out now means your gutters are ready to move water fast when the big Gulf storms roll in.

πŸ’§ Book a gutter cleaning with ABC before the next downpour β€” clean, clear, and storm-ready.

New data found that 7 of the 11 World Cup Round of 32 host cities rank in the national top 10 for mosquito or bed bug activity, and Houston made the list for both.

The reason isn't the soccer...

It's the travel.

Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers, and a huge volume of visitors moving through hotels, short-term rentals, airports and stadiums over a short window gives them more chances than ever to move from luggage to luggage.

Whether you're hosting guests or traveling yourself this summer, a 60-second inspection can save you a months-long headache:

πŸ”Ž Check before you unpack. Pull back the sheets and inspect mattress seams, the headboard, and upholstered furniture for rust-colored or black stains, tiny shed skins, or live bugs.

🧳 Keep luggage off the bed. Store it on a hard surface β€” bathroom tile or a metal luggage rack β€” not on carpet or fabric benches.

πŸ”₯ Treat your bags when you get home. Run clothing through the dryer on high heat for at least 30 minutes; heat is what kills bed bugs and their eggs.

🚫 Don't DIY a real infestation. Store-bought sprays scatter bed bugs deeper into walls and furniture and rarely reach the eggs.

If you spot the signs β€” or you just want peace of mind before or after hosting β€” our Houston bed bug specialists offer thorough inspections and proven heat and targeted treatments.

Health alert for Houston-area families: Fort Bend County has confirmed its first human case of West Nile virus for 2026 after 36 mosquito samples across the county tested positive for the virus. 🦟

Here's what every Houston homeowner should understand about West Nile virus:
β€’ It's spread by infected Culex mosquitoes, which bite most often around dusk and dawn.
β€’ About 8 in 10 people who are infected never feel sick, roughly 1 in 5 develop fever and body aches, and a small number develop serious neuroinvasive illness. There is no vaccine, so prevention is everything.
β€’ This year's surge is weather-driven. A wet end to spring and early summer left the Houston region running above normal rainfall, and standing water plus mid-90s heat is a perfect mosquito nursery.

The good news? You can cut your risk with the "4 D's":
🚰 DRAIN standing water weekly β€” gutters, plant saucers, buckets, toys, tarps and clogged drains.
πŸŒ† DUSK & DAWN β€” limit outdoor time when Culex mosquitoes are most active.
πŸ‘• DRESS in loose long sleeves and pants when you're outside at peak hours.
πŸ›‘οΈ DEFEND with an EPA-registered repellent (DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus).

A professional mosquito program does what a can of spray can't: we locate and treat breeding sites, knock down adult populations, and set up recurring protection through the hottest part of the year. If you're in Fort Bend, Sugar Land, Katy, or anywhere in Greater Houston, now is the time.

Wasp season in Houston peaks in the heat of summer β€” here's what every homeowner should know before reaching for a can of spray. 🐝

A nest that looked small and harmless in spring can explode into a colony of thousands by July. Paper wasps build the open, umbrella-shaped nests you see under eaves, soffits, and porch ceilings, while yellowjackets prefer to hide their nests in wall voids, ground burrows, and attic spaces β€” and a single yellowjacket colony can grow to roughly 4,000 workers by late summer.

Why the surge? Warm temperatures speed up the wasp life cycle, so the queen's first batch of workers matures fast and the colony expands quickly all season long. Unlike honeybees, wasps can sting repeatedly, and they turn aggressive when a nest is disturbed β€” which is exactly why knocking one down with a broom (or a store-bought spray that only reaches the surface) so often ends in multiple stings.

If you're seeing steady wasp traffic around your roofline, vents, or fence line, there's likely a nest nearby. Our Houston pest control team locates and removes wasp and yellowjacket nests safely, then helps seal the entry points so they don't rebuild in the same spot.

Your pool works hardest in July. πŸ’¦
Intense sun, high heat, and more swimmers burn through chlorine fast β€” which is how clear water turns cloudy or green almost overnight. In peak summer, test 2–3x a week to stay ahead of it.

July heat means one thing in the yard: fire ants.
The proven fix is Texas A&M's "Two-Step" β€” broadcast a bait, then treat the mounds that stick around.

One tip for summer: put bait out in the evening, when ants are actively foraging.

Skip the guesswork and the stings! We'll handle it.
