These pests are most active during march - may in the Central Texas region.
Fire Ants
Mounds appear rapidly after spring rains. Fire ants become aggressive during nesting season and can deliver painful stings to pets and children playing in the yard.
Termites
Swarming season peaks in April across Central Texas. Winged termites emerge from colonies to establish new nests, and homeowners often spot them near windows and doorframes.
Mosquitoes
Begin breeding as temperatures consistently reach the 60s. Standing water from spring showers creates ideal breeding grounds in gutters, bird baths, and low-lying yard areas.
Spiders
Wolf spiders and brown recluses become more active as prey insects increase. Spring cleaning often reveals webs in garages, sheds, and undisturbed corners.
Spring Prevention Tips
- Schedule a perimeter barrier treatment before April to block entry points
- Check your yard for standing water after every rain
- Treat fire ant mounds proactively before colonies establish
- Inspect window seals and door sweeps for gaps
- Clear leaf litter and debris from foundation edges
- Start mosquito treatments in March before populations build
