Pests have plenty of opportunities to make themselves at home around Tomball. Warm weather, frequent rain, mature landscaping, wooded areas, and plenty of places for insects to find food, moisture, and shelter can keep pest activity going through much of the year.
And because Tomball includes everything from established neighborhoods to newer developments and properties with more land, the pest problems around one home may look very different from those a few miles away.
Marathon Pest Control helps Tomball homeowners and businesses stay ahead of those problems with local pest control that addresses current activity and helps prevent pests from coming back. Based nearby in Magnolia and serving the area since 2016, our family-owned company understands the pest pressures that come with living and working in this part of Texas.
Whether ants keep turning up around the kitchen, roaches are getting into the garage, termites have left suspicious signs around your property, or mosquitoes are making it hard to enjoy the backyard, our team is ready to help.
There isn't just one "pest season" in Tomball. Different pests become noticeable as temperatures, rainfall, and conditions around the property change.
Fire ants can establish mounds throughout lawns and landscaped areas. Crazy ants and other household ants may move indoors or build up around foundations, patios, and landscaping. Cockroaches take advantage of moisture and sheltered areas around homes, while spiders often follow the insects they feed on.
Wasps are another familiar warm-weather problem, especially around rooflines, eaves, covered patios, sheds, and other protected nesting sites. During the wetter and warmer parts of the year, mosquitoes can become especially noticeable around shaded yards and properties with dense vegetation.
Then there are termites. Subterranean termites live and travel largely out of sight, which means a property can have termite activity long before the homeowner realizes something is wrong.
Mice and rats can occasionally find their way into Tomball homes and other structures as well, particularly when they find accessible openings, food, or shelter. However, insects make up much of the everyday pest pressure we help local homeowners manage.
If you're seeing a pest you can't identify or the same problem keeps returning, Marathon Pest Control can determine what's active and recommend the right approach for your property. Contact us at the first sign of a problem.
Marathon Pest Control’s Basic Pest Control plan is an affordable solution perfect for homeowners looking for year-round defense against everyday pests. This plan includes an initial inspection and treatment to eliminate existing pest problems and then routine pest control every quarter to keep crawling insects away!
Pests included: American Cockroaches, Black Widow Spiders, Brown Recluse Spiders, Carpenter Ants, Centipedes, Common House Spiders, Crazy Ants, Crickets, Earwigs, Fire Ants, German Cockroaches, Millipedes, Oriental Cockroaches, Silverfish, and Wolf Spiders.
Additional Details: Pricing does not include an initial fee.
Seeing one type of pest is frustrating enough. The problem is that Texas homes rarely deal with only one pest throughout the year.
You might notice ants in spring, spiders around the exterior a few months later, and roaches or other moisture-loving pests after a stretch of wet weather. Treating each new problem separately means you're always reacting to whatever shows up next.
Marathon Pest Control's residential pest control program is designed to provide ongoing protection instead.
Service begins with an inspection and initial treatment to address any existing pest activity. From there, quarterly pest control treatments help prevent covered pests from becoming established around the home again.
Our Basic Pest Control Plan includes:
The program covers many pests that Tomball homeowners are likely to encounter, including fire ants, crazy ants, carpenter ants, American and German cockroaches, spiders, crickets, earwigs, millipedes, silverfish, and other common household pests.
If a covered pest becomes active between regularly scheduled services, our Pest-Free Guarantee means you can contact us and we’ll come out to re-treat at no additional cost.

Termites are easy to miss because most of their activity occurs inside the wood they're feeding on.
Subterranean termites live in colonies in the soil and travel between the colony and food sources. Around Tomball properties, that can put homes, fences, wooden structures, and other cellulose materials at risk.
Homeowners may eventually notice mud tubes, discarded termite wings, damaged wood, or swarming termites. In other cases, there may be few obvious warning signs.
That's why Marathon takes termite protection seriously.
Our termite control service uses the Sentricon® System to address active termite colonies and provide ongoing protection around the structure. Bait stations are installed around the perimeter where foraging termites can encounter them and carry the active material back to the colony.
Rather than simply treating the termites you can see, Sentricon is designed to eliminate the colony, including the queen.
Marathon's termite service is also backed by a renewable, transferable retreatment warranty. Annual termite inspections keep the warranty active.
You don't have to wait until termites are visibly damaging your home to think about protection.
If you've noticed possible termite activity or want to protect your Tomball home before a problem develops, contact Marathon Pest Control to schedule a termite inspection.
A shady backyard is great during a Texas summer. Unfortunately, mosquitoes tend to like it too.
Mosquitoes rest in cool, shaded areas during the day, which can make properties with trees, shrubs, dense landscaping, and other protected areas especially inviting. Rain and standing water can also give mosquitoes additional places to reproduce nearby.
Marathon Pest Control offers seasonal mosquito control in Tomball for homeowners who want to spend more time enjoying their yard and less time swatting mosquitoes.
Our seasonal mosquito program runs monthly from March through November. During service, our technicians target trees, shrubs, and other mosquito hotspots around the property to reduce adult mosquito populations and help interrupt their reproduction.
Planning something outdoors?
Marathon also provides one-time mosquito treatments for outdoor parties, weddings, family gatherings, and other special events.
Whether you're trying to make the backyard more comfortable all season or preparing for one important weekend, our mosquito services can help reduce the number of biting mosquitoes around your property.

Pests around a business can create a very different problem than pests at home. A few roaches, ants, flies, or rodents can quickly become an issue for employees, customers, tenants, or anyone else using the property.
Marathon Pest Control provides commercial pest control for Tomball businesses and facilities with an emphasis on consistent service and prevention.
We start by inspecting the facility and surrounding property to identify existing pest activity, conducive conditions, and areas that may require ongoing attention. From there, we create a pest management plan tailored to the property and the business's needs.
Commercial service often includes regular exterior treatments, interior service in areas such as breakrooms, kitchens, and restrooms, monitoring for pest activity, and other targeted treatments based on the facility.
Because every business operates differently, service frequency and treatment recommendations are customized rather than forcing every property into the same program.
If pests are creating problems around your Tomball business—or you'd rather prevent them before they do—contact Marathon Pest Control to discuss a commercial pest management plan.
Hiring a pest control company means trusting someone to come onto your property throughout the year. We think that how the service is delivered matters just as much as the products being applied.
Marathon Pest Control is a local, family-owned company based nearby in Magnolia. Since 2016, we've helped homeowners, business owners, and property managers throughout the area solve pest problems and prevent new ones from developing.
Our approach focuses on understanding what's happening around the property first, then providing the service that actually makes sense for the problem.
Tomball customers also don't have to wonder whether Marathon really serves their area.
One local homeowner, Megan W. of Tomball, says she noticed a "huge difference" after starting service with Marathon and specifically praised the team's knowledge, respectfulness, appointment reminders, and communication before technicians arrive.
That kind of ongoing relationship is exactly what we're working to build with every customer.
When you choose Marathon Pest Control, you're working with a local team that knows the area, provides ongoing pest prevention, and is available when a covered pest problem arises between scheduled visits.
Quarterly pest control is typically the right schedule for Tomball homes. Regular treatments help keep ants, roaches, millipedes, earwigs, and other common pests from gaining a foothold throughout the year.
Heavy rainfall changes conditions in the soil and around foundations, landscaping, mulch, and other pest hiding places. Some insects may leave saturated areas and move toward higher or drier locations, making them more noticeable around patios, garages, foundations, and inside homes.
Rain can also create new moisture sources that support mosquito activity and other pests once conditions settle.
Yes. A newer home isn't automatically protected from termites. Subterranean termites live in the soil and can eventually find suitable ways to reach wood and other cellulose materials associated with a structure.
Termite protection is worth considering based on local termite pressure and property conditions rather than simply the age of the house.
Not necessarily. Marathon's ongoing residential program emphasizes exterior pest prevention, while interior treatments are available when needed.
Reducing pest activity before it gets indoors can help limit the need for routine applications indoors.
You shouldn't have to figure out whether the ants in the kitchen, bugs in the bathroom, wasps near the patio, or suspicious activity around the foundation are problems you can ignore.
Marathon Pest Control makes it easier to get answers and get the right service in place.
From year-round residential pest control to termite protection, seasonal mosquito treatments, and commercial pest management, our local team helps Tomball property owners stay ahead of the pests that are active around their homes and businesses.

They always address all my concerns and keep the bugs out of my house. They are definitely worth having to take care of your pest control needs. I have noticed a huge difference since we started the service almost 3 years ago. The guys that come out are very knowledgeable and respectful. They are speedy when they come. And I appreciate that they always text me to remind me that they are coming and then the day of they will text 30 minutes before they arrive.
