Do It Yourself Pest & Weed Control

Great place great help

Excellent products and customer service. Very reasonable prices.

This place used to have a different location and gave me great baits to kill attic rats about 15 years ago. But it moved and I never knew where it went. I really trusted them for stuff that worked. You buy different things from the grocery store, but it didn't seem as effective. Hearing noises in the attic. I didn't know what, but suspected squirrels. Went to a different place first due to the time of day and they had longer hours. They suggested it's a high percentage possibility that it's rats for this area. Bought an outside rat bait trap and some rat bait (poison) packets to toss around the attic. DIY Pest Control was my second stop and I made sure to head out earlier this time. As soon as I saw their card, I realized this was the same place I had used years ago that gave me stuff that worked like a charm. And yes, they had those packets I used back then. Unlike the first place, they warned me to use gloves. If I don't, rats can smell the human on the bait and will avoid it. Why didn't the first place mention anything about that? I was handling the outdoor bait box and the bait I put in it with my bare hands. They leaned towards rats too. So all I bought was some of those rat baits I had used that worked. I was a little suspicious though because it didn't sound like rats/mice. So I also bought a trail cam from a sporting goods store. Took a few days, 3 different camera positions, and adding lighting, but I finally caught the culprit. Or one culprit. A squirrel. Could be rats too and more squirrels. The rats have plenty of bait to get them. But there's no squirrel bait available. Not to poison them anyway. Went back armed with knowing what enemy I was pursuing. This time the owner was there. She's very knowledgeable. She hooked me up with fox urine to scare them away. Told me that squirrels will probably avoid a trap near their nesting place (assuming they're nesting in my attic). And that I need to trap them outside. So I also picked up some squirrel bait (non poisonous, just a lure). So I will relocate my trap outside and then will relocate or kill them. Leaning towards kill. There are plenty of squirrels in wooded areas. Don't need overpopulation forcing them to become a problem for somebody else. Poisoning squirrels is illegal because they're game animals in Texas. Don't want somebody killing them for food after the squirrel consumed poison and now the human gets poisoned from the meat. Killing them away from your home requires a hunting license. But killing them as pests on your property doesn't. I've seen a guy on youtube use a cornmeal/baking soda mix that's only deadly to rodents/squirrels. If that's all they have to eat (like being trapped in a cage), they will. The baking soda will produce gases that their bodies aren't built to release fast enough and it will build up and pop their digestive tract open, killing them. Haven't heard the squirrels for several days since the fox urine and haven't moved the trap from the attic yet. But will this weekend, planning to relocate it to the back yard and hopefully eliminate some of these pests.

Emily was fabulous Quickly confirmed my problem Knows her or products and bug behavior Now i need to provide proof point

Very friendly young lady, She was patient and knowledgeable, answering all my questions thoroughly. She even recommended pest control service in case I needed them. Great Service!

Service was amazing. Emily seemed to be knowledgeable and provided me with information on the products i was looking for as well as how to apply them.

Great knowledge shared. I took a sample of my pest collecting some on Transparent tape. It helped Emily know exactly what I was facing & how to deal with them. I highly recommend them!

Very helpful, go check them out.

Very helpful! Good service.

She was very knowledgeable and took time explaining how to use the product. I also walked out with a pamphlet of instructions. Great service

Great shop for those DIY’s and you young lady was very kind and knowledgeable. Great Place!!

If you want to do your own fertilizer and weed control or pest control this is the place to shop. They carry same products as the commercial companies for soooo much less than you would pay for a service. I discovered a grub control that actually works. I had been buying the HD (won’t name them but you’ll know who it is) for years with no success and after one treatment with their recommended product- no more grubs. The owner is extremely knowledgeable about the products, small woman owned business we can all support, and super helpful. So highly recommended. I drive about 30 minutes to shop here and it’s worth it!

very friendly lady , every time i go there i feel as though she actually cares about her customers

Friendly and knowledgeable: They take time to understand your problems and make sure you have the correct information needed for success.

Rude and unhelpful. The prices are 50% more than most places online.

Good service.

Peggy took the time to explain what I needed and why. Very helpful

Excellent customer service. They are the best !!

Always very helpful. They will tell you exactly what the products are, how/when/how much to use them. If you don't know what you are doing, you'll want to come here to learn while you shop

Went to the shop tonight and the woman who assisted me was kind, patient and very informative. She listened and showed me several options. She truly educated me. I feel more in control and hopeful that I’ll get my issue under control. I’ll definitely be back.

I think this place might be going out of business because the woman seller was very pushy. I ended up not buying anything because everything cost twice as much as online and other stores.

We came down with a clothes moth infestation in our family room. I went to the store to get pesticides. The lady in the store proceeded to hand me a can of Precor2625 (which sells for about $30 online) and give me a 15 minute lecture on entomology. She charged me over $50. However, that is not my main complaint. My main complaint is that Precor 2625 is not labeled for the control of clothes moths! BTW, she was quick to point out the "All Sales Are Final" sign while she was ripping me off! Needless to say, we still have clothes moths even after I sprayed the carpet, drapes, and upholstery and spent the afternoon doing it. A week later, we are STILL killing moths so it had no affect on the larvae or eggs. I've been in this store before but will NEVER go back again!

I just want to say how happy I am with the service, knowledge and products this store provides. Over the years I’ve had issues with roaches, carpenter ants and rats, they were able to help me every time. Thank you to store manager, Pennie Austin and staff.

Such an authentic and knowledgeable experience whenever I need to address any pest control options. The team really know their stuff and it is my go to resource for anything “pest control” - Thank You 🙏

The person who helped me was very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to treat my bug problem. I’d recommend do it yourself pest control because of the knowledge and personalized help I got.

The young lady that helped me was very knowledgeable about pest control and all the ways it can be accomplished. I highly recommend going in the store and asking any questions you may have and they will direct you in the right direction.
