What is bugging you?
Tap the pest you are seeing to learn when it is active, the signs to look for and what usually fixes it.
Termites
Subterranean termites are the most destructive pest in North Texas homes. Swarmers or mud tubes on the slab mean a colony is close.
Rats & mice
House mice, roof rats and Norway rats move indoors as it cools. Trapping plus sealing entry points is what keeps them out.
Cockroaches
Small tan roaches in the kitchen are usually German cockroaches and breed indoors. Large reddish ones usually come in from outside.
Ants & fire ants
Fire ant mounds pop up after rain across Ellis County lawns. Indoors, baits that reach the colony beat sprays.
Bed bugs
Bed bugs hitchhike in luggage and used furniture. Professional treatment with heat or targeted products is usually needed.
Scorpions & spiders
North Texas homes see striped bark scorpions and brown recluse spiders. Sealing gaps and treating the perimeter cuts sightings.
Wasps & mosquitoes
Paper wasps nest under eaves and porches; mosquitoes breed in standing water. Seasonal treatment keeps the yard usable.

Gingerbread homes, Blackland clay
Waxahachie, the Ellis County seat, is known for its Victorian “gingerbread” homes around the 1897 courthouse, and for the fast-growing subdivisions along I-35E and US-287. Both bring pest pressure: older wood and crawlspaces in historic homes, disturbed soil and open fields at the edge of new neighborhoods.
