Love God. Serve People. Stop Pests. — Gary Kirkowski, Founder and Fulshear Chamber Board Director. When the city you serve hires you to protect its own buildings, that says more than any ad.
Built for the four property types Fulshear runs on
Gary’s commercial crew focuses on the property types that dominate the Fulshear and Katy corridor: offices, retail, industrial, and restaurants. Each gets the same inspection-led approach with documentation and scheduling matched to how the business operates.
Office pest control
Monthly service scheduled around your team, pest monitoring in break rooms and utility voids, and a service record your property manager or corporate compliance contact can file without follow-up questions.
Retail pest control
Customer-facing floors get treated before open or after close, so foot traffic is never disrupted. Exterior pressure reduction keeps what is outside from becoming a conversation inside.
Industrial and warehouse pest control
Warehouses, shops, and flex space along the growth corridor deal with rodent and spider pressure at dock doors and slab gaps. Inspection, treatment, and a written entry-point audit on every property.
Restaurant pest control
Dozier’s BBQ, Culver’s, Mountain Mike’s Pizza, and Jeremiah’s Italian Ice are already on the book. Audit-ready service logs, product labels on request, and visits timed so the dining room never sees a tech.
HOA boards get the same structure, and multifamily pest control runs on it too — documentation-ready service notes residents can read, one contact, one predictable line item.
What a Rhino commercial visit looks like
Every account starts with a free inspection and estimate — a walkthrough to see what is going on at the property and which services are needed. From there the monthly service follows the same discipline as Rhino’s residential 8-step protocol, adapted to commercial scale:
- Inspect the property — entry points, harborage, dock and slab gaps, moisture conditions.
- Remove webs from eaves, soffits, signage, and entryways.
- Treat entry points — every gap the building gives a pest, closed or treated.
- Dust cracks and weep holes — long-residual barrier where ants and roaches enter the wall cavity.
- Treat the perimeter of the structure.
- Blow off walkways so debris is not sheltering pests where your customers walk.
- Document — a service record of what was treated and what was found, filed where your facilities lead needs it.
The entry-point inspection notes and pest monitoring results from each visit feed the next one. That is what ongoing pest control looks like when it is documented instead of improvised — the plan adjusts to what the property is doing, season by season.
Monthly cadence, priced by the property
Monthly service agreements are the preferred structure for Fulshear commercial accounts — general pest control on a documented monthly cadence, with specialty programs layered on where the property needs them. Pricing is upfront and straightforward: it is based on the size of the property and the time it takes to service it. The walkthrough and estimate are free, the quote comes in writing with upfront pricing, and there are no hidden fees or commission-driven add-ons. If your property needs something different from the standard cadence, the inspection is where that conversation happens.
On the property within 24 hours
When a tenant spots droppings or a kitchen manager sees ants before a health inspection, waiting a week is not an option. Rhino is out to all commercial properties within 24 hours unless special circumstances apply — a true 24-hour response standard. The home base in Richmond sits minutes from the Fulshear line, and trucks route through Fulshear daily — response time is geography, not a promise on a brochure.
Customer-facing businesses get after-hours service — before open or after close — so guests never see a tech. And the same standard that covers Rhino’s residential accounts covers businesses: free return visits between scheduled services. If pests come back between visits, so do we — free within 24 hours.
Audit help that goes past the minimum
Restaurants and food-service properties live and die by inspections. Rhino helps prepare any commercial property for an audit when requested, and provides checklists and product labels on request — service documentation built around EPA compliance, formatted so your inspector or facilities lead can read it without a phone call. In Gary’s words: the crew will help with anything and go above to help in areas Rhino is not required to. That is the difference between a vendor who sprays and a partner who shows up when the inspector does.
School districts, government work, and a wider service area
Rhino’s commercial service area is wider than its residential footprint — school district facilities work has taken the trucks farther out, and government contract work extends the range further still. Rhino is an approved vendor under the Choice Partners Government Cooperative, which lets Texas school districts and municipalities contract directly without separate competitive bidding. In and around Fulshear that means Lamar CISD, whose footprint covers most of the city, alongside the broader district and public-sector book across Greater Houston.
Inside Fulshear itself (ZIPs 77441 and 77423), trucks run the FM 1093 corridor through downtown daily, with routes along the Grand Parkway and the Westpark Tollway connecting the retail and office centers that serve Cross Creek Ranch and Cinco Ranch. School pest control through the Lamar CISD relationship covers campuses across the district footprint. If your property sits outside the Fulshear, Richmond, and Katy core, call and ask. The answer is usually yes.
The four pests that drive Fulshear commercial calls
From Gary’s field experience across the Fulshear and Katy commercial book, four pests generate most of the calls:
| Pest | Where it hits Fulshear businesses | How Rhino handles it |
|---|---|---|
| Ants | Kitchens, break rooms, slab edges, landscaping beds | Species-based ant control — targeted baiting to the colony, then perimeter and weep-hole dust to prevent reinfestation. Covered under monthly service. |
| Spiders | Warehouses, dock doors, signage, eaves, storage | Spider control through web removal on every visit plus perimeter treatment and harborage reduction. Covered under monthly service. |
| Rodents | Dumpster corrals, dock gaps, drop ceilings, utility voids | Rodent control starts with inspection and trapping. Full rodent exclusion is handled in-house — sealing entry points, vent screens, and soffits — quoted after inspection, with a written warranty on materials. |
| Termites | Slab penetrations, moisture exposure, wood framing | Termite control that fits Rhino’s scope is quoted directly. When findings call for more, you get a referral to a termite specialist Rhino trusts — no markup, no commission. |
Cockroach control is on the standard monthly coverage list as well, and commercial mosquito control keeps patios, courtyards, and common areas usable through the long Gulf Coast season — ask about it during the walkthrough.
Why Fulshear businesses pick the local crew
The national chains service Fulshear commercial properties from a call center. Rhino services them from down the street, with the owner on the Fulshear Regional Chamber FOR Commerce Board of Directors for three years running. Gary Kirkowski serves as Chamber Chaplain, chairs the Wranglers rope-cutting team, and has led prayer at City of Fulshear council meetings — the same city that trusts Rhino with its own facilities. When the tech who treats your restaurant also answers to your Chamber, accountability is built in.
And the numbers hold up: 5.0★ across 333 verified Google reviews, a book of 413 active residential accounts in Fulshear alone, and commercial references you can drive past on your lunch break.

-
How is commercial pest control priced in Fulshear?
Pricing is based on the size of the property and the time it takes to service it. The walkthrough inspection and estimate are free, the quote is in writing, and monthly service agreements are preferred. No hidden fees.
-
How fast does Rhino respond to a commercial pest problem?
Rhino is out to all commercial properties within 24 hours unless special circumstances apply. Restaurants and customer-facing retail can schedule visits before opening or after closing so guests and staff are never disrupted.
-
Can Rhino help my business get ready for a health inspection or audit?
Yes. Rhino helps prepare any commercial property for an audit when requested, and provides checklists and product labels on request. Service documentation flows to your facilities lead or manager, and the crew will help in areas beyond what a pest control provider is required to do.
-
Is Rhino approved for school district and government work?
Yes. Rhino Pest Protection is an approved vendor under the Choice Partners Government Cooperative, which lets Texas school districts and municipalities contract directly without separate competitive bidding. Active district work includes Lamar CISD, whose footprint covers most of Fulshear, and government contract work has extended the commercial service area well beyond the residential footprint.
-
What pests cause the most problems for Fulshear businesses?
Ants, spiders, rodents, and termites are the four biggest commercial pest pressures in the Fulshear and Katy area. Ants and spiders are handled under the monthly service. Rodents get inspection, trapping, and full rodent exclusion handled in-house — sealing entry points, weep hole covers, vent screens, and soffits — quoted from an inspection because every property is different. Termite findings are quoted when they fit Rhino's scope or referred to a termite specialist with no markup and no commission.
-
Is the commercial service area the same as residential?
It is wider. School district facilities work has taken Rhino trucks farther out than the residential routes, and government contract work extends the range further. If your property sits outside the Fulshear, Richmond, and Katy core, call and ask — the answer is usually yes.
-
How is commercial service different from Rhino's residential service?
The treatment protocol is similar and starts the same way: an inspection to see what is going on and which services the property needs. Techs remove webs, treat entry points, dust cracks and weep holes, treat the perimeter, and blow off walkways. The differences are cadence (monthly rather than quarterly), documentation (service records your inspector or facilities lead can read), and scheduling built around your business hours.
-
Does Rhino provide certificates of insurance?
Yes. Active general liability and workers compensation coverage, with COIs issued on request and named-additional-insured certificates available for property managers and lease agreements.
