PEST CONTROL IN
PAIGE, TX

Striped bark scorpions are one of the most common calls we get from rural Bastrop County properties. They shelter under bark, rocks, lumber piles, and inside wall voids, and they're nocturnal, meaning most homeowners discover them after getting stung. Properties with woodpiles close to the house or heavy rock landscaping are especially vulnerable. Interior harborage treatment and exterior sealing are both required.

Rural fire ant pressure in Bastrop County is severe. A single acre of pasture or yard can host dozens of active mounds. Fire ants threaten livestock by attacking eyes, nostrils, and hooves. They damage electrical equipment buried underground. And they pose real medical risk to children and elderly residents. Broadcast programs are the only effective solution at rural scale.

Open land around Paige supports large rodent populations that pressure every structure on a property. Roof rats climb into attics via tree branches. Norway rats burrow near foundations and enter through floor gaps. House mice squeeze through openings less than a quarter inch. Rural structures with multiple buildings make exclusion work more complex, but we handle it all.

Older rural homes in Bastrop County, including many in the Paige area, have significant termite risk. Sandy soils and seasonal moisture from creek drainage create ideal termite habitat. Pier-and-beam homes are especially exposed. Termites can work for years inside wall framing without detection, free inspections catch them before damage becomes structural.

Paper wasps, yellow jackets, and mud daubers are extremely common around rural structures. They nest in outbuildings, barns, hay storage areas, and under every available eave and overhang. Ground-nesting yellow jackets are a serious hazard during mowing. We locate and eliminate nests across the entire property, not just the main house.

Brown recluse spiders establish in the dark, undisturbed areas common on rural properties, cardboard boxes in storage, cluttered barns, seldom-used cabins, and wood piles. Their bite causes serious necrotic tissue damage. We treat known harborage areas and provide guidance on clutter reduction and storage practices that minimize brown recluse habitat.

Stock tanks, seasonal creeks, and low-lying pasture areas around Paige properties breed mosquitoes by the thousands. Populations spike after every rain event and remain high until the first hard freeze. Families on rural properties often resign themselves to mosquito season, but they don't have to. Barrier programs dramatically reduce the populations around your home.

Raccoons raid chicken coops and compost bins. Opossums enter crawlspaces and attics through damaged vents. Armadillos dig up yards and gardens. Snakes, including copperheads and rattlesnakes in Bastrop County, explore every structure for rodent food. We handle safe wildlife removal and provide exclusion advice to reduce recurring intrusions.
