When scheduling allows
Safe for who matters
Pet-aware. Family-aware. Always.
Every product we apply is EPA-registered and chosen because it works on pests and plays fair with the people and animals who actually live in the home.
Perimeter-first treatment
Pests travel along edges — foundations, eaves, weep holes, door frames. We treat there, not across living spaces where kids and pets actually spend time.
Re-entry safe in 30 minutes
Interior treatments dry quickly. After a 30-minute window, you, the kids, and the dog can move through any treated area normally.
Full transparency, every visit
Your tech tells you exactly what is being applied, where, and why. No mystery sprays. No back-of-the-truck mixes. EPA labels on file for everything we use.
Honest restraint
If an issue does not need treatment, we say so. Carl told a Fulshear customer her gnat problem would resolve on its own — and treated only what mattered. That is the standard.
Why Houston is different
Year-round pest pressure in Fort Bend & Greater Houston.
The Greater Houston metro doesn’t really get a pest off-season. Gulf humidity keeps the air heavy nine months out of twelve, mild winters never break the breeding cycle the way a hard freeze would up north, and the Brazos River basin pushes moisture through Richmond, Fulshear, Rosenberg, and Sugar Land long after summer storms pass.
That mix — warm, wet, and rarely cold enough to reset — is what makes ants, roaches, mosquitoes, and rodents a recurring problem here instead of a seasonal one. Spring brings carpenter ants and swarming termites. Summer is mosquito and wasp season. Fall pushes roaches and rodents toward warm interiors. Winter slows things down but never stops them.
That’s why a quarterly cadence works in Texas the way monthly might be needed elsewhere — and why a one-time spray almost never holds in this climate. We design every plan around how pests actually behave in this metro, not a generic national playbook.
In the community
The schools & charities we already serve.
Not every job is a residential home. Some of the places that trust us with pest protection are private schools and local missions across Greater Houston.

The Rhino Promise
Three promises that remove the risk of using us.
Pest companies usually ask you to trust them before they’ve earned it. We do it the other way around.
Step 2
24-Hour Arrival
Most new inspections happen within a day. Pest activity compounds. A small ant trail today is a kitchen takeover next weekend, so we move fast.
The Rhino Promise
Free Return Visits
If pests come back between scheduled services, so do we, free. Weather shifts, new entry points, fresh activity zones. We adjust the plan and treat again until it holds.

How it works
From first call to pest-free in four steps.
- 01
Tell us what you’re seeing
Call or book online. Share where activity is, when it started, and what you’ve already tried. That conversation alone often narrows the pest type.
- 02
Free on-site inspection
Within 24 hours when scheduling allows. We identify the pest, pressure points, entry routes, and any moisture or structural conditions feeding the activity.
- 03
Targeted treatment
Application matched to the findings. Crack-and-crevice indoors, perimeter outdoors, baiting where appropriate. No blanket spraying. No theater.
- 04
Quarterly Protection
Scheduled returns to handle seasonal pressure before it becomes visible. Free in-between visits whenever something changes.
Straightforward pricing
Plans built around your home, not ours.
No hidden fees, no surprise upcharges. Final pricing is set after the free inspection so the plan matches your home and pest pressure.

The Rhino crew
Same faces. Every visit. Every season.
Meet the crew
The same techs who learn your home.
A five-person field crew, one Richmond home base. The big chains rotate techs through your home like a lottery. We don’t. Same faces, every visit.
That continuity matters more than people realize. Your tech remembers the wasp nest by the eaves last summer, the rats that came in through the garage seal, the mosquito hot spot near the irrigation line. Pattern recognition is what fixes pests for good.

Quick answers
The questions everyone asks before they book.
Straight answers from Gary. If anything else comes up, call (346) 531-5117 and we’ll talk it through.
-
Do I need to be home for service?
Only the first visit. After that, every quarterly service is exterior-only and you don’t need to be home. We treat the foundation, eaves, doors, windows, and weep holes from outside.
-
How long does a standard service take?
Twenty to thirty minutes for most quarterly visits. The thoroughness comes from doing the same property repeatedly, not from spending hours each time.
-
How long is the first service?
Thirty to forty-five minutes. The first visit is more involved because it includes interior treatment under sinks and in the garage, plus a full property inspection so the tech knows your home before the next visit.
-
How fast will you come back if pests come back between visits?
Within 24 hours. That’s the Rhino Promise. If pests reappear between scheduled services, we re-treat at no charge and adjust the plan.
-
Does the quarterly service stop every pest?
No. We cover the standard pest list on your service agreement, which is what most Texas homes encounter. Anything outside that list, or any new activity between visits, is handled by the free re-treat policy.
-
What forms of payment do you accept?
Credit card, cash, or check. Whatever’s easiest for you.
-
How experienced is your team?
Over thirty-seven years of combined experience across the Rhino crew. Every technician is licensed, insured, and trained on Texas-specific pest pressure.
-
What does it cost?
Quarterly residential service starts at $104 plus tax. Your final price depends on home size, the pest activity, and what the free inspection reveals. We give you the number before any work happens.
Still have a question?
Gary or one of the techs will pick up. No call center, no script.
