Cantu Pest & Termite

Cantu Pest & Termite handles pest control work out of McKinney, Texas. The company covers residential homes and commercial sites with termite control, rodent control, and general pest services across the greater Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston regions. They have operated in those areas for over 40 years and keep a focus on quarterly visits plus targeted treatments for ants, spiders, wasps, and similar issues.

Customers call them for ongoing quarterly service that clears ants from balconies and keeps spiders from returning inside and out. Techs like John treat interior walls that border the exterior, while Bob handles full property checks and explains steps during the visit. Other jobs include wasp nest removal, squirrel entry repairs, and dirt dobber nest clearing, with techs such as Keiver and Gus Camarillo finishing the work in one trip when possible. Some visits fix immediate problems after homeowners tried store products without success, and the same customers return for repeat service over multiple years.

Appointments usually fall inside set windows, with staff calling ahead to confirm timing and offering quick reschedules when needed. Techs arrive on time in many cases, work thoroughly on both inside and outside areas, and answer questions without rushing. Pricing stays competitive according to long-term customers, and the company covers the Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston regions with the same crews handling both business and home accounts. Extra visits get handled fast when new activity shows up after a regular treatment.

Then he carefully applied some dust around our kitchen sink window, then under the sill and behind a couple of electrical outlets near the sink. This was because he remembered that we had some tiny ants in that area before and he wanted to make sure they didn't return. Then he went outside and sprayed a wide barrier of pesticide all the way around our home. After he finished our treatment, he explained that this would be his last service for us because he was moving back to Ohio, due to inheriting a home from a”

“I hired Cantu to repair damage caused by squirrels and also to irradiate the squirrels. The tech was to repair and paint all of the damage and install "one way" doors so squirrels could escape. Bottom line. The repairs were nothing more than cutting a piece of tin and using deck screws to affix to the eaves on three of six the entries. Nothing was done to the remaining three entries. No painting. No "one way" doors. The "repairs" look worse than the original damage. As always....the attached photos describe the pathetic work better than any words.”

“I’m a returning customer after several years. Cantù was a competitive service until one of their techs ruined my tile floor with product. I have them another go on 3/28/25 and the tech Bob was excellent. Very thorough. This would be a 5 star except the office lady Aaliyah said my window was 2-4 & Bob arrived at 4:45, no fault of his own as his schedule showed to arrive “at any time”. I had already put back the things I moved around for service when he knocked on my door. I didn’t want to reschedule, so he suggested he start outside while I move my things around again. He explained things I didn’t know about pest control and answered my questions. I will ask for Bob at my next quarterly visit. Thanks”

“We use Cantu pest control for business and home for years. We used to have ants infested our balcony. After started our quarterly service, we haven’t had any problems. They serve their customers well.”

“We’ve used Cantu for years. The company is good at communicating. The technicians are friendly and They are good at what they do. If you need them to come back out, they come back out right away. The prices are fair and competitive. We would recommend them!”

“Our tech was very nice, knowledgeable, very helpful providing different things we can do to protect from bugs coming back. I felt at ease and not at all judged which was my fear on not getting this taking care of but after trying everything.. I mean everything! I Decided to make the call. Glad I did! I recommend this company and I will use them again. Check them out in Groupon. That's were I found them.”

“We received exceptional service and the technician was very knowledgeable about our issues. He was very thorough and it didn’t take him long to complete the job. I will be scheduling routine appointments based on this initial encounter.”

“Automatically scheduled appointment that did not fit into my schedule. Also service tech came but we did not hear nor see him so appointment was delayed for an hour. Service tech was great as always.”

“Amazing pest control service!I have been using Cantu Pest Control for some time now. Really knowledgeable and professional! Also, they do a good job with scheduling and rescheduling! Must use service!”

“Mr. Torres was friendly and knowledgeable. He explained what he was going to do, answered my questions to my satisfaction and was overall very professional. I can highly recommend him for anyone using Cantu's services.”

“I purchased an indoor/outdoor service on Groupon to help with spiders and ants. The service was quick and the gentleman that came out was nice and patient. However, I have seen 2 spiders since they sprayed 2 days ago. Maybe this is normal. Otherwise, I have no complaints. Hope to see my spider/ant problem diminish soon.”

“Keiver provided excellent service and was a pleasure to work with. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. He was also very thorough and made sure all areas were properly treated. You can tell he really cares about doing a great job!”

“Cantu’s service has really started going downhill. On multiple occasions I’ve had to contact them about not removing dirt dobber nests and yet again today, they failed to do it. We’ve been clients for about 15 years and are now looking elsewhere for services. I, as a paying customer, should not have to followup behind a technician to make sure they did the job that we pay for.”

“Tech showed up with no inventory on his truck not even simple sticky pads which I told them I needed when I called. Then he didn't have a pole to get the wasp nests. On top of being 2 hours late on the service window given. Only plus ishe was polite”

“We've been using Cantu Pest for a number of years. They've always been timely, friendly, and, in addition to regular treatment of the outside and our garage they have also done the inside when we've needed it I appreciate their flexibility and knowledge. I also think their pricing very fair. 10 out of 10 would recommend!”

“Albert and his team have been invaluable from the office staff to the techs and management. We were in need of a really quick turn around for a corporate client and they responded very fast. If you’re looking for the Can do team, reach out to Cantu Pest Control.”

“Throughout the many years I have used your service, I have always been pleased. Your employees are courteous, knowledgeable and always answers questions if I have any. Also, I like that you call to give a heads up when service is going to be performed. As I told you this morning, I have sold my home so will no longer need your services. The place I moved provides their own. However, trust that I will recommend Cantu to the new owners.”

“Rep was on time, knowledgeable , and seeded all my questions. Did a thorough inspection and offered a quote that had no gimmicks or fluff. Just a solution for the wasps and pests. Best pest control in Collin county! Worked with Gus Camarillo”

“Every service representative has very knowledgeable, patient and kind. Thank you all!”

“Have been with Cantu for years, came recommended from a neighbor. Very reliable and responsive when needing something "extra". I will continue to stand behind my recommending Cantu Pest Control.”
