The city's elevation ranges from approximately 550 to 700 feet above sea level. Wilson Creek, a tributary of the East Fork Trinity River, runs through McKinney, creating riparian zones and moist soils that contribute to diverse habitats for pests and wildlife.

We use biological, cultural, physical, and chemical methods endorsed by the EPA. The goal is simple: manage pests with less risk to your family, property, and the environment.
The combination of Blackland Prairie soils, abundant creeks like Wilson Creek, and extensive landscaping provides ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes, ants, and termites. Mature trees and natural preserves, such as the Heard Wildlife Sanctuary, support wildlife but also increase ticks and rodents in bordering residential areas. Construction and rapid urban growth disturb native habitats, occasionally driving wildlife pests like raccoons and opossums into neighborhoods. McKinney experiences a humid subtropical climate, with hot summers averaging highs around 94°F in July and mild winters with average lows near 33°F in January.

Because of these local pressures, our technicians change their approach month to month. In spring, we focus on moisture control and perimeter barriers. Summer means targeting mosquito breeding sites. Fall calls for rodent exclusion as temps drop. Winter treatments tackle cockroaches and other pests that stay active indoors.
