This part of North Texas sits on the Blackland Prairie, where the soil is a heavy, dark clay that swells when it's wet and shrinks as it dries out, sometimes noticeably enough to see cracks form in the yard during a dry stretch. That constant movement opens small gaps around slab foundations, and it's exactly the kind of opportunity fire ants and termites look for.
Add in the amount of new construction happening across the area, with fresh soil disturbed and irrigation systems still settling in, and pest pressure on newer properties can be just as real as it is on older, more established homes.
Go-Forth Home Services has been treating North Texas homes for more than 60 years, and we bring that same experience to every property, whether it's a brand-new build or a home that's been standing for decades. Here's what sets us apart:

Residential Pest Control Plans
Protecting a home takes more than a single treatment, especially when the ground beneath it is shifting with the weather and settling in slightly different ways from one season to the next. Go-Forth Home Services builds a plan around your property using EPA-approved products that are safe for kids and pets.
Our technicians will walk you through the level of service that fits your home, whether that means quarterly exterior treatments or a more complete plan covering fire ants, mosquitoes, and other seasonal pests, and they'll explain what to expect at each visit before any work begins.

How To Spot Fire Ant Activity On Newer Properties
Freshly disturbed soil from new construction and regular irrigation are exactly the conditions fire ants look for when choosing where to build a colony. A single yard can end up hosting multiple mounds before the problem is obvious, and stings from disturbed mounds are painful enough to send some homeowners straight to the doctor. Watch for these signs:
Loose, dome-shaped mounds appearing in the lawn, especially after watering or rain
Ants swarming quickly to the surface when a mound is disturbed
Dead patches of grass forming near mound locations
Increased ant activity along sidewalks, driveways, and foundation lines
Fire ant colonies rebuild fast, and a nest that looks gone on the surface can still be active a few feet underground, so a single treatment rarely takes care of the problem for good. Go-Forth Home Services technicians treat the visible mounds and the colonies underground at the same time, so the ants don't just resurface a few weeks later. Reach out to scheduleant control for your property.
Retention ponds and other water features are common across newer neighborhoods in this part of Texas, and they hold exactly the kind of standing water mosquitoes need to breed. Combine that with hot, humid summers and a long warm season, and mosquito pressure can build quickly once the weather turns, often lingering well into the fall. A few habits help reduce it around your own yard:
Empty any standing water in containers, saucers, or low spots after rain
Keep gutters clear so water doesn't pool and sit
Trim back dense landscaping where mosquitoes like to rest during the day
Yard maintenance alone rarely solves mosquito pressure that's coming from a shared water source nearby, especially when several properties in the same neighborhood are dealing with the same conditions. Go-Forth Home Services treats both resting adult mosquitoes and the areas where they breed, which keeps relief lasting longer than a single visit and gives your yard a real chance to feel usable again.

I'm very grateful that I found this company today!
“Amazing response time, reasonable prices, great customer service. Tevin was thorough and confident in his plan to fix our horrendous fire ant problem. We have had negative experiences with prior exterminators and probably waited way too long to call Go-For”
- Ashley T.
Great service with excellent solutions for any of our needs.
“We have been customers for almost 7 years for a reason. Our technician is the best. He always knows exactly how to address whatever pest has decided to bother us. We have referred them to many of our neighbors. Well worth the cost not to have to worry abou”
