Common Pests in Central Texas
Central Texas’ warm climate, abundant vegetation, and proximity to rural areas make it prone to various pest problems including:
- Cockroaches – American, Oriental, and smoky brown roaches frequently invade homes seeking food and moisture. They can trigger allergies and spread bacteria.
- Ants – Odorous house ants, fire ants, carpenter ants, and other species damage lawns, plants, and structures as they enter homes looking for food.
- Spiders – Black widows, brown recluses, wolf spiders, and others hide out in trees, woodpiles, or crawlspaces and may bite if disturbed.
- Scorpions – Texas bark scorpions reside in mulch, tree stumps, patios and may sting if stepped on. Their sting is painful.
- Mosquitoes – Standing water allows mosquitoes to breed rapidly. They become a nuisance and can transmit West Nile virus.
- Rodents – Mice and rats contaminate food, chew on materials, and spread diseases when they invade homes and businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What signs should I look out for to detect termites?
Look for mud tubes on walls, crumbling drywall, wood that sounds hollow when tapped, and sawdust-like droppings. Have us inspect annually.

We recommend interior and exterior treatments every 2-3 months to prevent pest populations from becoming established. High-risk businesses may need monthly visits.
Will your pest control methods harm my family or pets?
We use the latest least-toxic products and follow all regulations for safe application around people and pets. Many products today are natural or plant-based.
How soon after service will I see results?
Depending on the type of pest, you should notice a decrease in activity within days to weeks as the infestation is eliminated.
What can I do to avoid scorpion problems?
Keep vegetation trimmed back, seal exterior cracks, use exterior lighting at night, and have us treat the perimeter of your home.
