We focus on safe, eco-friendly solutions for homes and businesses in Houston. Custom treatment plans ensure long-term protection and satisfaction.

I have been with McGrath Pest Control for 19+ years. Have always loved the prompt service and knowing they will go above and beyond to make sure I am happy with their services. Not many companies out there I can say are respectful, courteous and prompt. Highly recommend them to any one who is looking for any type of pest control needs or just advice.

We had used several different companies for our pest control needs. All of them promised to get rid of the bugs, but we always seemed to have a problem with those tiny ants. Then we called McGrath Pest Control. Scott and his team did more then make promises, they delivered results. Needless to say, the ants are gone and they've stayed gone!

Pretty sure their radio commercials are one of the funniest ones out there. That alone deserves 5 stars
