Waco Metro - McLennan County, TX
Pest Control & Lawn Care in Oakwood, TX
Shaded by the towering oaks that gave it its name, the Oakwood neighborhood sits just south of the Baylor University campus in the heart of Waco. Root Home Services treats these historic homes, duplexes, and student rentals with pest control, lawn care, termite, and mosquito service tuned to older McLennan County housing. Decades-old homes near campus give cockroaches, ants, and rodents plenty of entry points, the nearby Brazos River keeps mosquitoes active through the warm months, and the Central Texas clay underneath fuels fire ants and subterranean termites most of the year. We live in and around Waco, so we understand the quirks of these established Oakwood streets and what it takes to keep a century-old house pest-free. Honest work, a real neighbor, and a plan made for your place. Call (512) 222-5423 for a free quote.

What does the initial service include?
For pest control, the first visit includes a full inspection, interior treatment of common entry points, and a complete exterior perimeter treatment. For lawn care, it includes a soil assessment, weed treatment, and the first round of fertilization. Pricing depends on the square footage of your home and lawn - share those when you call (512) 222-5423 and we'll give you an exact quote. Cancel anytime, no long-term contract.
Do you offer same-day service in Oakwood?
Same-day depends on how urgent the issue is and our current schedule - call (512) 222-5423 to check. For most pest emergencies (wasps, fire ants, rodents) we can typically schedule within 24-48 hours. We answer the phone 24/7 and never route you to a national call center.
Do you serve all of Oakwood and the surrounding area?
Yes - we serve Oakwood and the surrounding communities, and we live in the same neighborhoods we treat, so you get the same local technician every visit. Call (512) 222-5423 to confirm coverage for your address.
Are your treatments safe for pets and kids?
Yes. Once treatments dry (typically 30-45 minutes for outdoor applications), pets and kids can resume normal use of the area. We use products labeled for residential use and follow all label instructions - mention any pet or health concerns when you call and we'll confirm before treatment.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
