Common Pests in Georgetown, TX
Georgetown's pest pressure splits along I-35. West of it, on the Edwards limestone under Sun City and Cimarron Hills, striped bark scorpions come up through fractured rock and loose stone. East of it, the Blackland clay under Berry Creek and Teravista cracks open in a dry spell and gives fire ants and rodents a way in beside the slab.
This is the full list of pests we treat in Georgetown and the surrounding Williamson County towns. Each page covers how to tell the pest apart from whatever it gets confused with, the signs to look for, why it is happening in a local home, and what treatment actually involves. Estimated costs are on the pricing guide.
Sort what follows by what actually shows up here: scorpions climbing in from limestone edges, roof rats working down from the fascia rather than up through a foundation, fire ant mounds after rain, and the fall cricket swarm every porch light near Wolf Ranch Town Center sees in September. Bats get their own page, since state law limits what can be done to them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which pests are actually common in Georgetown?
The list changes with the season rather than staying still. Spring brings ants and termite swarmers, summer is mosquitoes, ticks and wasps, autumn pushes cluster flies, stink bugs and boxelder bugs onto sunny walls, and the first cold snap sends mice indoors. That is why a page per pest is more use than one page listing everything.
I do not know what I have. Where do I start?
Start with what you are seeing rather than what you think it is, because half of pest identification is ruling out the look-alike. The symptom page walks through what people actually notice, from droppings to scratching in a wall, and points at the likely cause. An inspection costs nothing and misidentifying a pest is the usual reason a treatment fails.
Do you charge more for some pests than others?
Yes, and the difference is real work rather than a surcharge. A general ant treatment is one visit. Bed bugs, termites and anything living in a wall void or an attic need longer visits, specialist equipment and follow-up, so they sit at the top of the range. Estimated bands for each are published on the pricing guide.
