Each brings its own problem. PestAlly is a free service connecting Irving homeowners with independent, licensed local pest control pros working Dallas County.

Why Irving

Why Irving Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most

Las Colinas is built around engineered waterways, and that changes the arithmetic entirely. Canals, lakes and fountains hold level water permanently through a season that runs March to November, so mosquito production continues whatever any individual property does. Tower and podium buildings then stack apartments over shared risers and refuse rooms, letting roaches travel floor to floor.

The older neighbourhoods have the opposite issue. Fifties and sixties housing sits on Blackland Prairie clay that shrinks brutally in a Texas drought, opening slab cracks and pipe penetrations at exactly the age when original plumbing sleeves and thresholds are failing anyway.

Common Questions

Irving Pest Questions, Answered

Treating our flat did nothing about the roaches.
In a podium or tower building the population is not inside one unit. German roaches move along plumbing risers and shared chases between floors, so a treated flat is repopulated from above or below within weeks. Written reports to management are what get a whole stack treated together, and that is the only version that lasts.
Why do cracks appear at the slab every summer?
Blackland Prairie clay loses a great deal of volume as it dries. Weeks without rain pull it away from the foundation and open expansion joints and pipe sleeves. Running a soaker hose slowly around the perimeter through the worst of it reduces the movement noticeably and costs very little.
Does the canal district really breed mosquitoes?
Constant-level water does, yes. Unlike a garden pond you cannot empty it, and the season here runs from March into November. Container removal on your own balcony or patio still helps, but treating the shaded planting where adults rest through the day is what makes evenings usable near the water.
Our house is from 1958 and problems all began together.
That timing is structural rather than coincidental. Plumbing sleeves, door thresholds and slab joints of the same age reach their limit at once, and the clay opening in drought exposes the lot simultaneously. Sealing that whole set is one job that closes several routes at the same time.
Is the airport a factor for nearby streets?
Mainly through waste volume. Catering and freight operations run continuously and support rat numbers no neighbourhood generates, and those animals range outward. You will not change the source, so tightening your own building at grade and keeping bins closed is where the effort pays.
