Seasonal Information:

Spring is here in East Texas, and many other parts of the country. If you haven't already done so, start working on those outdoor vegetation problems like brush, thistles, weed problems, and pond and lake weeds. These are areas where it really pays to get ahead, and stay ahead! If you have thistles, get them out now!, it won't be long before they stalk, and make new seed, and that will just make a larger problem for the next year. Weeds, and weedy grasses, should be caught before they mature and harden off. They are much easier to control when they are young. Bahia grass can be suppressed shortly after full green up and an early treatment for suppression will give you an opportunity to gain season long control. If you start to notice any strange plants lurking around your pond or lake, don't wait. Take action now! Some of the exotic plants can double in 5 to 7 days if allowed to go unchecked! A half acre problem can become an acre or more before you know it.

We know that you will be busy with gardening, and all the other spring chores, so just give us a call, and we can take care of those unwanted vegetation problems for you!

Rational Environmental Solutions, is a Tyler, East Texas outdoor pest control, pest prevention, and pest  service company offering a wide variety of pest management services and solutions through TexPest Services. We specialize in prevention,  "non native" pest control and aquatic pest control, and for such problems as, Giant Salvinia, hydrilla, kudzu, and fire ants. We are here to help, with on target, up to date, service and information. We practice IPM, or Integrated Pest Management, but we are not afraid of chemicals. We just think that the best way to deal with pests is to find what is causing, or supporting the problem and fix that first. When it is time to use chemical pest controls, we know exactly where, when, and how to use them in the most effective way, and with the least environmental impact!

Preventing pests from coming inside your home is the best and most logical form of indoor pest control. Our pest prevention pages offer advice and tips on doing this. Controlling the pests already in your lawn and ornamentals will help to keep them out of your home. Call us for a free estimate.

Tell A Friend:

One thing that visitors to this site always tell us is: "You have a lot of information on your site!" They are right! We think that knowledge is power, and that our customers deserve to be informed. We are doing something new in the pest industry, we are looking at Integrated Pest Management from a prevention angle, and are building a new prevention model to work from. Because it is important for people to know the facts we would like to invite you to tell a friend about us. We are easy to reach at www.texpest.com

Note: We are creating a Services Page, to cut down on the length of this page. We will remove all but the very basic service information from this page a little at a time. 

Our Services Include:

Pest Prevention:

Preventing pests is the best method of pest control! We have a lot of information on prevention in our Pest Prevention Directory, but we didn't stop there! We also created a Prevention Service which we will provide at a very reasonable price. We are on A Quest  To Prevent Pests! Just read the material in our directory, and you will agree, that this makes good sense! It is not just the same old "spray and pray," method. This works!

Pest Control

We offer pest control advice, and tips on this site without cost to you. We offer pest control services through TexPest Services our state and local pest management service.

Non Native Invasive Pests:

Non Native pests are the environmental worlds terrorist. They are invasive plants and insects that have become a nuisance in our environment. We specialize in control of non native pests. We have more information about these pests on our Non Native page. Some of the most catastrophic invasions occur in our ponds, lakes, and waterways.

Aquatics, Lakes and Ponds:

If your problem, is Hydrilla, Giant Salvinia, or other pond or lake management problems, we are licensed in aquatics, so we can help, even if your lawn is a lake! Have a lake or a pond that is a brushy, weedy, "snakey" mosquito infested eye sore? Let us provide lake management solutions.

Right of Ways:

If you have right of way brush control  problems, we can help. We are licensed and experienced in right of way  vegetation control. Why put up with all those weeds in the center and along the edges of those rock drives and parking lots, when we can chemically edge them, and keep them down? Why put up with the constant bother of trimming that ten mile fence row, when we can do it for you?

Bareground Treatment:

If you have a parking lot, where weeds are a constant problem in cracks and seams, or an area where nothing should be growing, we provide bareground treatments. Why head out with a spin trimmer or a flat shovel 40 times a year to remove those weeds growing up in your parking lot, when we can handle it for you with just a few chemical applications a year, with a lot less aggravation, back ache, and no cracks in windshield, or dinged doors? Stop trying to mow and trim around that industrial site with all the weeds growing up through the equipment, and let us chemically mow for you.

Tree Care:

Do your trees need some care and pruning? Did your last tree trimming crew leave nubs and stubs, that are now rotting your trees support structure? Let us do it right, and preserve the value of that long term investment. We offer expert tree care and trimming services that won't leave you and your trees "hacked off". Tree care needs in East Texas?

Insect and Rodent Control:

Fireants, mosquitoes, gophers? We provide outdoor insect and rodent control, that will help solve the problem, not just treat the symptoms. Insects driving you and your potential clients away? (They have kept me from buying before!) Let us find the source, and the solution to the problem. Moles and gophers tearing up the lawn, causing erosion, trip hazards, and an unsightly mess?  Let us get rid of them for you.

Brush and Vegetation Control:

Is brush and other vegetation causing a fire hazard, giving cover to insects and varmints, and ruining the aesthetic value of your property? Is KUDZU tearing down your fence, and taking over your lawn? Our chemical and non chemical controls, can help to get it down, and keep it down for much longer than chain saws, and brush hogs alone.

Real Estate, Real Solutions:

Having a problem managing some portion, or all of your commercial, industrial, or residential real estate? Insects driving you and your potential clients away? (They have kept me from buying before!) We offer a wide variety of real eastate services, which we will tailor to needs, and will apply the same logical techniques we use in our pest management programs. Why keep doing the same old things in the same old way, when we can help you find solutions? There is always an underlying cause to a problem, let us help you find it, and deal with it in the best way possible.

Buying Real Estate In The Tyler, East Texas area?

Let us help you assess the potential pest problems, and help you find prevention solutions before you buy. We have free tutorials on pest prevention in our Home Buyers Guide!

We also offer a real estate buyers Pest Prevention Service. Why control them when you can prevent them?

Environmental Related:

Are you environmentally concerned? We practice IPM, and go further than the standard definitions. We even developed an IPM map, as a guide to show how it can really work! Join us for our IPM road trip, a search for a better IPM map!

We even have advice, and "how to" pages on this site, and our other web sites, including a site for articles on
environmental issues of concern to home owners, and we have added a tutorial page for some extra "how to" information. 

We think that "solving" pest problems, is better than "treating" for pests. We think that "PREVENTING" pest problems is even better!

We can help you plan for long term pest prevention and control.

We can help you, with your lawn, garden, landscape, pond, lake, right of ways, and commercial/industrial properties, whether you have a a few feet of lawn, or an elaborate Japanese Garden. So for all of your outdoor pest control service needs, TEXPEST SERVICES is the rational choice!
