Marathon Pest Control

Marathon Pest Control handles pest control work out of Magnolia, Texas. They cover residential and commercial properties in The Woodlands and nearby spots, with services focused on general insect and rodent issues plus termite and mosquito treatments. The company has operated since 2016 and offers both one-time visits and ongoing programs that include inspections and applications for homes and businesses.

Customers call them for home inspections and full treatments when bugs show up inside or around the property. Pete and Shane handle most of the jobs mentioned, showing up to spray thoroughly, set Sentricon bait traps for subterranean termites, and check rat stations on repeat visits. Reviewers note these two take time to walk the whole place, point out problem spots, and lay out what the treatment will do, which leaves homes with fewer pests after the work.

They schedule appointments the same day in some cases and keep customers informed with calls or texts before arrival. Technicians stay on schedule, answer questions during the visit, and set up termite plans that start with an install fee followed by a monthly charge and yearly checks. The outfit serves the local area around Magnolia and The Woodlands, and one reviewer noted they make a veterans discount known without being asked.

Plenty of five-star feedback highlights the same points: technicians arrive ready, explain the steps clearly, and deliver careful work that holds up over time. Google shows a perfect score across more than a hundred reviews, with the same names and details coming up again and again. DIRT Score 4.9 from 164 reviews on Finds.

“I have to admit that i was having doubts about Marathon Pest Control after speaking with the office. I didn't expect to pay for inspection, but was really miffed to find out that the charge would not be deducted form the cost of the service if I signed on.

He inspected the property and explained what was needed and what to expect. Thank you Shane.”
