Identification: Light to dark brown body with a distinctive violin-shaped marking on its back. About the size of a quarter (including legs). Six eyes arranged in pairs (most spiders have eight).
Habitat: Dark, undisturbed areas such as closets, attics, and garages. Under furniture, inside cardboard boxes, and in woodpiles. Often found indoors rather than in web structures.
Identification: Shiny black body with a red hourglass marking on the underside of the abdomen. Females are about 1.5 inches long, while males are much smaller. Legs are long and slender.
Habitat: Found in sheltered, quiet spaces such as sheds, garages, and crawl spaces. Often builds irregular, messy webs near ground level. Likes woodpiles, stacked bricks, and outdoor furniture.
Identification: Large, hairy, and brown with mottled patterns for camouflage. No webs; hunts prey on the ground. Can grow up to 2 inches, including legs.
Habitat: Found in yards, gardens, and under rocks or logs. Often seen indoors during cooler months. Fast runners and active hunters, not web spinners.
Identification: Reddish-brown body with a darker abdomen. Workers range from 1/8 to 1/4 inch in size. Aggressive and will sting multiple times, causing painful welts.
Habitat: Builds large mounds in open, sunny areas like lawns, fields, and roadsides. Can invade homes in search of food and water. Often found near electrical equipment, leading to damage.
Identification: Large (¼ to ½ inch) reddish-brown ants. Has large, powerful mandibles used for cutting leaves. Forms massive underground colonies.
Habitat: Found in rural areas, gardens, and fields. Strips leaves from plants and trees for fungus cultivation. Can be destructive to landscaping.
Identification: Medium to large ants, ranging from ¼ to ½ inch in size. Reddish-brown body with a square-shaped head and long, powerful mandibles. Covered in fine hairs, especially on the underside of the head. Unlike fire ants, they are less aggressive but can deliver a painful sting.
Habitat: Found in dry, open areas, including fields, prairies, and sandy soils. Builds large, bare-soil nests with a central mound and visible foraging trails. Prefers well-drained soil, avoiding overly wet environments. Often seen in rural or undeveloped areas rather than urban settings.
Cockroaches are a common pest in the Southwest Fort Worth area due to the region’s warm climate and abundance of food and moisture sources. These resilient insects typically inhabit dark, damp areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and even outdoor spaces like mulch beds and sewer systems.
Once inside a home, cockroaches can contaminate food and surfaces with bacteria, trigger allergies and asthma—especially in children—and are notoriously difficult to eliminate without professional help. Their ability to hide in small crevices and reproduce quickly makes them a persistent and hazardous pest in residential spaces.
Scorpions are a notable pest to watch for in the Southwest Fort Worth area, where the dry, warm climate and expanding suburban development create ideal conditions for them to thrive. They typically inhabit cool, sheltered areas such as under rocks, woodpiles, landscaping materials, and even within wall voids or attics in homes.
As neighborhoods encroach on their natural habitats, scorpions often wander into living spaces in search of food and shelter. While most scorpion stings are not life-threatening, they can be painful and potentially dangerous—especially to young children, the elderly, or those with allergies—making them an unwelcome and risky intruder indoors.
Newly developed neighborhoods in the Fort Worth area often become breeding grounds for pests like mosquitoes, ants, and spiders due to a combination of environmental disruption and ongoing construction. As land is cleared and natural habitats are disturbed, pests are displaced and forced to seek new shelter and food sources—often finding both in and around new homes. Standing water from incomplete drainage systems or landscaping provides ideal mosquito breeding sites, while construction debris and mulch beds create perfect hiding places for ants and spiders.
Golf courses and sports fields in the Fort Worth area are prime breeding grounds for pests like mosquitoes, ants, and spiders due to their expansive, well-irrigated landscapes and frequent maintenance. The constant watering needed to keep grass green creates pockets of standing water, which attract mosquitoes looking to lay eggs. The open, grassy terrain and abundance of organic matter also provide ideal conditions for ant colonies to thrive.
Meanwhile, spiders are drawn to these areas by the abundance of insects, building webs in nearby shrubs, bleachers, and structures. The combination of moisture, shelter, and food sources makes these recreational spaces highly attractive to a variety of pests.
Parks and greenbelts in the Fort Worth area serve as ideal breeding grounds for pests such as mosquitoes, ants, and spiders due to their dense vegetation, shaded areas, and natural water sources.
These green spaces are designed to mimic natural environments, which inadvertently provide perfect conditions for pests to thrive. Standing water in ponds, fountains, or poorly drained areas becomes a hotspot for mosquito breeding, while the abundant plant life and mulch offer shelter and nesting sites for ants and spiders.
The minimal use of pesticides in public areas also allows these pest populations to grow with limited interference.
Insects like spiders and ants aren’t just a nuisance—they’re looking to make your home their home. Seasonal changes in Texas can cause insects to seek refuge inside, making it crucial to have a year-round plan that keeps them out. With our Perimeter Shield service, we treat the exterior of your home to stop pests before they get in.
Our seasonal approach ensures that your home is protected throughout the year. Our trained technicians perform treatments every 60 to 75 days, starting in early spring. During each visit, they focus on areas with active insect activity and potential entry points, ensuring your home remains a free from annoying insects like spiders and ants.
