EcoArmor Pest Defense treats homes in New Hope, Texas, a small town in Collin County between McKinney and Princeton, from our office at 279 Highview Ln in Anna. New Hope is one of the few places in this part of the county that deliberately stayed small — large wooded lots, no commercial strip, and tree cover you simply do not get in a new subdivision. That tree cover drives most of the pest pressure here. Family-owned, veteran-owned and licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture.
What Makes Pest Pressure in New Hope Different
Heavy mature tree cover
New Hope is genuinely wooded, and established trees change the pest picture in every direction. Canopy keeps the ground shaded and damp long after the surrounding open country has dried out, which favours roaches, crickets, millipedes, spiders and springtails right against the foundation. Overhanging limbs also give squirrels and rodents a bridge onto the roof that bypasses every bit of ground-level work we might do.
Leaf litter and organic debris at the foundation
The flip side of good tree cover is that beds and foundations collect leaf litter continuously. That litter holds moisture, breaks down into exactly the habitat perimeter pests want, and hides the gaps we would otherwise seal. Pulling mulch and leaf debris back off the slab is one of the highest-value things a New Hope homeowner can do, and we would rather tell you that than quietly spray over the top of it.
Large lots on septic
Lot sizes here mean a longer perimeter to protect and, in most cases, a septic system rather than city sewer. Both shape the plan: we keep product clear of the drain field, and we focus effort on the structure and the twenty feet around it rather than trying to treat an acre uniformly, which would be expensive and largely pointless.
Wildlife that a wooded lot supports
Woods next to houses mean raccoons, opossums, squirrels and rats have cover right up to the structure. Attic entry is the usual outcome, generally at a soffit or roof junction rather than anywhere at ground level. We inspect the roofline as a matter of course here, because on a New Hope property that is where the actual problem tends to be.

Why New Hope Homeowners Choose EcoArmor
- We treat the whole property. If there is a barn, a shop or a detached garage, that is part of the job rather than an upsell — on acreage the outbuilding is usually where the problem starts.
- Owner-run. Three brothers run EcoArmor. The person who answers the phone can make a decision about your account.
- We ask what kind of house you have. A wooded acre with a detached shop and a newer build on a cleared lot need different work, and New Hope has both.
New Hope Pest Control Questions
Why do we get so many spiders and crickets compared to friends in McKinney?
Tree cover and leaf litter. Shade keeps the ground moist, moisture supports the insects those spiders eat, and the litter gives everything somewhere to live within a few feet of your slab. A newer McKinney subdivision with young landscaping simply does not have that habitat yet.
Do you treat the trees themselves?
No, and be cautious of anyone who says they will. What we do is treat the structure and its perimeter, address the harborage at ground level, and point out limbs that are giving rodents a route onto the roof. Trimming those back is usually a homeowner or arborist job, and it makes a real difference.
We keep hearing something in the attic. Is that included?
Rodent work is, and on a wooded lot it is one of the more common calls. We trap, then find and close the entry points — usually up at a soffit or roof junction. Trapping without exclusion just makes room for the next one.
