• Pest Identification
  A pest infestation is an unpleasant and scary thing to discover in your home or business. Knowing basic information about the pests you’ve found can help set your mind at ease and point you in the right direction on how to get rid of them. Our Pest Library provides information about the most common pests in the New Braunfels area.

Insects and Spiders

• Ants
  Ants are social insects that work together very efficiently to forage for food, care for their young, and protect and maintain the nest. If their nesting site is ever disturbed, they will work together to create a new nesting site to ensure the colony survives.
• Spiders
  Spiders are predators, which means these carnivores feed on other living things. Their presence in our ecosystem ensures that populations of nuisance and dangerous insects do not get out of hand. Though spiders are extremely helpful out in nature, when they find their way to our yards in large populations or into our homes, you need to take action to eliminate spiders and their prey.
• Termites
  Everyone knows about termites, and no one wants to deal with them. Unfortunately, the reality is that many home and business owners will have to deal with these pests at one point or another, especially if their property does not have preventative termite control protecting it. The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) estimates that termites cause an estimated $5 billion in property damage annually, and most of that damage is not covered under homeowner insurance policies.
• Bed Bugs
  Bed bugs are frustrating and difficult to control pests. The biggest reason bed bugs are so tricky to prevent is that they want to live with us and move from place to place by hitchhiking. We unknowingly move them into our homes in things like upholstered furniture, secondhand items, and in our clothing.
• Fleas
  Fleas are pests that can be a problem both inside and outside your house. Infestations typically begin outside, but once fleas get onto your property, it’s only a matter of time before a family member or pet brings them into your home. Once inside, fleas will quickly become a major problem by covering everyone in itchy bites and increasing their population at a rapid rate. If you have a flea infestation, you may be tempted to try one of the many DIY remedies you can find online, but these are rarely successful at eliminating a flea infestation in its entirety. Instead, the best way to fully eliminate your interior flea infestation, as well as the exterior infestation that started it all, is to get professional flea control in New Braunfels. Gold Star Exterminators has been providing flea control solutions to our customers since 1992 and offers the services you need to eliminate your problem.
• Cockroaches
  In the United States, German cockroaches are not only the smallest species that find their way into our homes but the most common. German cockroaches have tan or brownish bodies with two dark lines on their backs.
• Silverfish
  Silverfish: Silverfish have tear-drop-shaped bodies covered in metallic scales, long antennae and move quickly using wriggling fish-like movements.
• Bees
  Sadly, Wimberley is not immune to pests. Businesses and homes can suffer from infestations of ants, bees, rodents, spiders, and other pests. These vermin can carry diseases, damage property, and cause a general nuisance.
• Wasps
  But even the best places have their pests. From mice and rats to ants and wasps, there are a variety of critters that can make your home their own. That's why it's essential to have county pest control on your side.
• Ticks
  Ticks are arachnids, and blood is their sole source of food. At each new life stage, they require a blood meal from a new host. Under the right conditions, ticks will complete their life cycle over two to three years.
• Crickets
• Earwigs
  Earwigs: These pests are known to invade homes in search of food. They can also cause damage to your plants.
• Mosquitoes
  Mosquitoes are some of the most well-known and hated pests in the world. It’s difficult to come up with even one positive quality about them, yet their prevalence in our lives requires us to deal with them on a daily basis in the warmer months. In addition to them being highly irritating, mosquitoes are also quite dangerous. Worldwide, they kill more people each year than any other animal, and they are responsible for spreading a variety of dangerous illnesses. Here in New Braunfels, we have to worry about West Nile virus, Western equine encephalitis, and many more mosquito-borne diseases.
• Flies
  Having flies buzzing around your property is an annoyance to anyone who enters your home or business, but flies are far more than just annoying. Because they often spend their time in unsanitary locations, when they get inside, flies can easily spread bacteria and other dangerous pathogens wherever they land, which is especially dangerous if you run a business in the food services industry. Still, it’s bad news for anyone who finds themselves dealing with a fly infestation.
• Centipedes
  Our General Pest Control service treats American cockroaches, oriental cockroaches, brown-banded cockroaches, ants, spider removal, paper wasps, wasp nest knockdown, scorpions in New Braunfels, earwigs, millipedes, silverfish, springtails, pill bugs, and centipedes. It includes treating interior cracks and crevices in your home, as well as, a treatment that will be applied three feet out from the exterior perimeter of the home. We will notify you with an automated call, text, or email two weeks before your scheduled treatment. We will return to your home on a monthly, bimonthly, or quarterly basis to re-treat it. This service includes a 60-day warranty.
• Millipedes
• Beetles
• Scorpions
  If you put together a list of “creepy, crawly†pests, scorpions would likely be at the top of the list. While living in Texas has many benefits, one drawback is knowing that scorpions live throughout our state.
• Stinging Insects
  We also offer homeowners the option of various service programs in order to stay within your budget while also creating a reliably pest-free home. You can opt for our one-time visit, which includes a three-foot perimeter treatment, nest knockdowns, and de-webbing in order to deter cockroaches, spiders, and stinging insects. We also provide recurring services on a quarterly basis for increased protection, interior services, and more extensive warranties. For more information on our residential pest control services in Timberwood Park, contact us today.
• Mites
  Like scorpions, mites, and ticks, spiders are arachnids. Arachnids all have a few things in common, including eight legs, a lack of wings and antennae, two body parts, a head and thorax that are fused, and an abdomen.
• Springtails
• Pill Bugs
  This service treats American cockroaches, oriental cockroaches, brown banded cockroaches, ants, spider removal, paper wasps, wasp nest knockdown, scorpions, earwigs, millipedes, silverfish, springtails, pill bugs, and centipedes. It includes treating interior cracks and crevices in your home, as well as, a treatment that will be applied three feet out from the exterior perimeter of the home. We will notify you with an automated call, text, or email two weeks before your scheduled treatment. This service includes a 30-day warranty.

Animal Control

• Raccoons
• Wildlife
  Another important aspect to keep in mind is the connection between wildlife control and tick control. Wildlife activity increases your property’s exposure to tick activity, so keeping wildlife hosts away is crucial for keeping ticks away. The best way to reduce tick populations and wildlife activity around your property is to seek out professional assistance. Gold Star Exterminators provides dependable tick control and prevention services that offer you comprehensive protection all year long. Call today to learn more.

Rodent Control

  If you have questions about the pests in your area, Gold Star Exterminators can help! Find out more about identifying, controlling, and preventing the most common insects and rodents in New Braunfels, TX with our collection of helpful pest control articles.
• Mice
  Mice and rats inhabit the outdoor spaces all around our homes, making our houses an easy target for rodent activity.
• Rats
  Rat-Bite Fever: While less common, this disease spreads through bites or scratches from rats. It can cause illness or death.
• Squirrels
  Avoid pests. Pests like birds, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and rodents are all common hosts for ticks and other parasites like fleas and mites, so keeping these populations off of your property is a good line of defense from these infestations.
