Pest Control in Dallas, TX
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex has an energy unlike anywhere else, from the historic character of Munger Place to the steady growth across North Dallas. Living here comes with plenty of advantages, but the local climate also creates ongoing pest activity for both homes and businesses.
Hot summers, sudden spring storms, and relatively mild winters allow many pests to stay active throughout the year. It’s common to see seasonal spikes, but in Dallas, some level of pest pressure rarely disappears completely. At Go-Forth Home Services, we’ve been handling these local challenges since 1959. Over the years, we’ve worked on a wide range of properties, from Uptown condos to single-family homes in the surrounding suburbs. We take a practical approach, looking at how pests are getting in, what’s attracting them, and how to reduce that activity over time.

Our Residential Pest Management
We’ve spent decades refining how we approach pest control for local homes. Dallas properties deal with a mix of structural factors and environmental conditions, so treatments need to be adjusted based on what’s happening on-site. Our services use products designed for use around families and pets while addressing active issues and helping reduce future arrivals.
To keep things simple, we offer three service levels:
- The Basic. Focuses on exterior treatments to create a barrier around your home. This addresses common pests like ants, spiders, and crickets with quarterly visits. Interior service is always available if needed.
- My Elite. Includes everything in the Basic plan but increases visits to every other month. This also covers stinging insects such as wasps and hornets. Interior treatments are included as a standard part of the visit, along with priority scheduling.
- My Elite Plus. Our most comprehensive option, expanding coverage to include mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and fire ants. This works well for homeowners who want consistent outdoor coverage during the warmer Texas months.
We also provide targeted services for termite control, rodent exclusion, and lawn-related pest issues. These can be added or customized based on what your specific property requires.
Why Fire Ants Are So Common in Dallas
Fire ants are one of the most persistent outdoor pests in North Texas. They tend to build mounds in open, sunny areas and can spread quickly across lawns, especially after a heavy rainfall.
What makes them difficult to manage is how their colonies operate. A single mound may contain multiple queens, and the colony extends well below the surface. Simple surface-level treatments often don’t reach the heart of the colony, which is why activity often returns in nearby areas just a few days later. Heavy rain can also push colonies to relocate, sometimes appearing in new spots almost overnight. Because of this, we focus on treatments that address the colony as a whole rather than just treating the visible mounds.
Dealing with Termites in North Texas
In Dallas, many homeowners view termites as an eventuality rather than a possibility. The warm, moist soil conditions in our region are ideal for subterranean termites. These pests live in the soil and build mud tubes to reach the wooden structures of your house, often bypassing brick and concrete to find a food source.
Because they work from the inside out, the damage is often hidden behind drywall or under floorboards until it becomes a larger issue. Common signs to look for include discarded wings near windowsills or wood that sounds hollow when tapped. Our approach involves thorough inspections and the use of advanced baiting or liquid barrier systems to protect your investment. We include termite monitoring as a key part of our long-term property protection strategy.
Reliable and Efficient Solutions to All Your Home Needs, Provided Exactly When You Need Them
Commercial Pest Control for Businesses
Pest activity in a commercial setting can affect day-to-day operations, especially in industries where cleanliness and compliance are closely monitored.
We provide discreet, efficient services for a wide range of local industries:
- Restaurants and food service facilities
- Office buildings and retail spaces
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Property management groups and HOAs
- Healthcare and senior living facilities
Each property is different, so we build service plans around your layout, schedule, and industry requirements. We coordinate visits in a way that limits disruption while keeping communication clear and consistent.
How Local Weather Impacts Pest Activity
Our weather plays a big role in when and where pests show up. Understanding these patterns can help explain why certain issues seem to appear suddenly.
- Spring. Increased rainfall can drive ants, roaches, and termites into structures as they seek higher ground.
- Summer. Intense heat pushes pests toward shaded and indoor areas, while mosquito activity peaks.
- Fall. Rodents begin looking for indoor shelter as temperatures drop.
- Winter. While outdoor activity slows, pests like rodents and cockroaches often remain active indoors where it's warm.
Because these shifts happen throughout the year, many properties benefit from ongoing service rather than one-time fixes.
A Heritage of Service Since 1959
Our story began in 1959 when Frank Goforth founded our company on the values of honesty and taking responsibility for every job. Frank was a World War II veteran who understood that building a business meant building trust within the community. That commitment was passed down through the family to his daughter, Suzanne, and her husband, Chuck Hazelwood. Today, the company is led by their son, Chase Hazelwood.
Chase grew up learning the business from the ground up. He spent years in crawl spaces, answering phones, and performing field service before becoming the CEO. This deep, practical understanding ensures that our company remains focused on what actually works for our clients. While we have grown, we remain a family-owned and operated business that treats every customer like a neighbor.
