Common Pests in Georgetown TX and What to Do About Them
Not sure what you have? Call us and describe what you are seeing. We will tell you what it is and whether you need a visit.
Scorpion Control Georgetown TX
The striped bark scorpion is Georgetown's most reported pest. It is an excellent climber and turns up in second floor bedrooms, bathrooms and closets, not just garages. It shelters in limestone landscaping, wood piles and wall voids, and comes indoors during summer heat and after rain. Newer homes in Wolf Ranch, Morningstar and Sun City see the most activity because land clearing pushes scorpions directly toward the nearest structure.
Seeing scorpions inside your home? That is a sign they are living in or near your foundation. Call us today.Rodent Control Georgetown TX
Rats and mice damage wiring, contaminate food and spread disease. As ranchland gets developed across Williamson County, displaced field mice push into new neighborhoods in large numbers. We trap, remove and seal entry points so rodents cannot get back in. See our Rodent Control page for full details — including information on hantavirus risk in Central Texas.
Found droppings in the attic or behind the baseboards? We offer same-day visits. Do not wait.Cockroach Control Georgetown TX
Georgetown sees two main problems. Large American roaches wander in from outside through gaps and drains. German roaches breed indoors and multiply fast. One roach in the kitchen usually means many more in the walls. We treat both with gel bait placed where roaches actually travel and nest. Read more about our Cockroach Control services.
Spotted a roach during the day? That is a sign of a larger infestation. Call us now.Bed Bug Treatment Georgetown TX
Bed bugs hide in mattress seams, furniture and baseboards and spread to every room fast. We inspect every room, confirm the extent and treat all life stages including eggs. Most jobs need a follow-up visit to catch anything that hatched after the first treatment.
Not sure if it is bed bugs? We confirm it first, then build a plan. No guesswork.Ant Control Georgetown TX
Fire ant colonies can hold hundreds of thousands of workers and store-bought sprays rarely reach the queen, so the mound rebuilds in days. Carpenter ants tunnel into damp wood and cause structural damage over time. We use targeted baiting that workers carry back to the colony so the whole nest dies. See our full Ant Control page.
Anthill taking over your yard? We bait the colony at the source.Termite Control Georgetown TX
Subterranean termites are the most destructive pest in Central Texas. They cause more damage statewide than fires and storms combined according to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. Georgetown's warm climate keeps them active every month. We offer free inspections, liquid barrier treatments and bait station systems. See our Termite Control page.
Seeing mud tubes on the foundation or winged insects near windows? Call for a free inspection today.Mosquito Control Georgetown TX
Mosquitoes breed in any standing water and a single teaspoon is enough. Homes near the San Gabriel River, Lake Georgetown and Wolf Ranch see the heaviest pressure from March through November. We find and treat breeding sites then apply a residual barrier to the resting areas. Read our Mosquito Control page.
Asian tiger mosquitoes here bite during the day, not just at dusk. Get your yard back.Spider Control Georgetown TX
Most Georgetown spiders are harmless but brown recluse and black widow spiders carry a real health risk. We clear webs, treat corners, eaves and storage areas, and reduce the insects spiders feed on so they have no reason to stay.
Found a brown or black spider you cannot identify? Let us take a look.Flea and Tick Control Georgetown TX
Fleas and ticks are a year-round concern for pet owners in Georgetown. Lone Star ticks and American dog ticks live in tall grass and shaded areas near the river trails and wooded lots. We treat the yard and harborage areas to break the cycle before it gets into the house.
Pets scratching more than usual? Fleas are usually in the carpet and furniture too, not just outside.Wildlife Control Georgetown TX
Raccoons, opossums, squirrels and armadillos dig through yards and nest in attics. Our wildlife control safely removes the animal and seals the entry point so it does not come back. We handle the whole problem, not just the part you can see.
Hearing scratching in the attic at night? That is almost always a rodent or a squirrel. Call us.General Pest Control Georgetown TX
If you have multiple pests or just want year-round coverage, our general pest control plan covers ants, roaches, spiders, crickets, silverfish and scorpions. We treat the interior, exterior and perimeter and keep a barrier in place on a recurring schedule so small problems never turn into infestations.

We know this town, not just a script
A national chain runs the same routine on every house. We adjust for your soil, your neighborhood and your specific pest because we live and work here. Sun City sees more scorpions, Old Town has higher termite risk, and Wolf Ranch faces heavier mosquitoes near the river.
Same-day response, seven days a week
Scorpion inside at night, wasp nest by the door, droppings in the attic at 7am. We answer the phone seven days a week and often come the same afternoon. Call early and we can often be at your door the same afternoon, including after hours and holidays.
Upfront pricing before we start
You get a clear number before any work begins. Chains often quote a low first visit, then add fees for pests that price did not cover. What we quote is what you pay. No hidden fees, no contracts, no surprises.
We fix it at the source
Cheap repeat spray services wear off in two weeks. We target the colony, the entry point and the breeding site. Solving it once costs less over a year than spraying the same problem six times.
Eco-friendly methods
Low-toxicity, family-safe and pet-safe treatments that still fully solve the problem. We use targeted products in the right places for lasting results, which protects the San Gabriel River watershed and your family at the same time.
TDA licensed and insured
Every technician is licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), background checked and insured. Pest control is the only thing we do.

What Does Pest Control Cost in Georgetown TX?
Your price depends on home size, how bad the problem is, and which pest we target. We publish real ranges below instead of hiding them, so you can plan before you call. Your exact price comes from a free inspection.
What is the difference between a one-time treatment and a quarterly plan? A one-time treatment clears the pests you have right now. A quarterly plan clears them and then keeps a fresh barrier in place all year, so new pests never establish. In Georgetown's climate, one treatment rarely holds through a full season, which is why most homeowners switch to a recurring plan after the first visit. It costs less per year than repeat one-time calls.
| Service | Average Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| General pest control, one-time | $150 to $300 | Ants, roaches, spiders, scorpions |
| Quarterly plan, per visit | $85 to $175 | Best value for year-round protection |
| Monthly plan, per visit | $40 to $75 | For active or severe infestations |
| Mosquito control, per treatment | $75 to $150 | Seasonal, March through November |
| Scorpion treatment | $150 to $350 | Perimeter plus entry point sealing |
| Termite treatment | $800 to $2,500 | Liquid barrier or bait system |
| Rodent control and exclusion | $200 to $600 | Includes sealing entry points |
Upfront pricing protects you. You approve the number before we start, so there is never a surprise on the invoice. National chains often quote a low first-visit price, then lock you into a contract or add fees for the pests that low price did not cover. We do not work that way. The quote we give you is the quote you pay.
Pest Control for Airbnb and Short-Term Rentals in Georgetown
Georgetown draws visitors all year, from Sun City guests to travelers exploring the historic square, Blue Hole Park and the San Gabriel River. If you run a short-term rental, one pest complaint can sink a booking and your rating overnight.
A single scorpion photo in a review or a mosquito covered patio can cost you future guests. Rentals also sit empty between stays, which is exactly when pests move in unnoticed. We help hosts stay ahead of that.
- Between-guest scheduling: Discreet visits timed around your turnovers so treatment never overlaps with a guest stay
- Fast re-entry: Low-toxicity, family and pet safe products, so the home is guest ready shortly after we finish
- Full coverage: Scorpion, ant, roach and mosquito coverage on one recurring plan
- Proof of treatment: Service documentation you can share with guests or platforms if a question comes up
Do short-term rentals need more frequent pest control in Georgetown?
Often yes. Rentals cycle guests, doors and luggage constantly, which raises the odds of pests hitching a ride or slipping in during vacancies. A quarterly plan is the minimum for most Georgetown rentals, and homes near the river or in scorpion-heavy west side neighborhoods usually do better on bi-monthly service during peak season.
What Georgetown Homeowners Say
"Found scorpions in our new Wolf Ranch home two weeks after moving in. They sealed the entry points and treated the perimeter. Have not seen one inside since."Sarah M., Wolf Ranch
"Fire ants took over our yard every summer. Two other companies sprayed and they came right back. These guys actually baited the colonies and it worked."David R., Serenada
"Quick response, honest pricing, and they explained everything. No contract pressure. Exactly what I wanted for our Sun City home."Linda K., Sun City Georgetown
Why Georgetown TX Has Year-Round Pest Pressure
New construction pushes pests into your yard
Georgetown has been one of the fastest growing cities in the country for years. Every year, thousands of acres of cedar scrub and ranchland get graded for new homes. That disturbance forces fire ant colonies to split, pushes scorpions out of the rock, and drives field mice toward the nearest house. Wolf Ranch, Morningstar and the western edge of town see the most activity in the first few years after a build.
The soil and rivers keep pests active all year
Georgetown sits on Blackland Prairie clay over limestone. The clay holds water for weeks after rain, which is exactly what termites and fire ants want. The San Gabriel River and Lake Georgetown breed mosquitoes year-round. Mild winters mean no hard freeze, so pests keep working through December and January.
Older homes carry different risks than new builds
The Victorian era homes near the downtown square and Southwestern University have decades of exposed wood that termites target. The restaurant strip along Austin Avenue feeds rat populations all year. See our full Rodent Control page for more on this risk.
Georgetown Pest Control by Neighborhood
We treat your street, not a category. Here is what we see across Georgetown's main neighborhoods.
Sun City Georgetown (78633)
Slab homes here see more scorpions, which enter through plumbing gaps and expansion joints. Many HOAs ask for pest treatment records. A yearly termite inspection is worth scheduling.
Wolf Ranch and Morningstar (78628)
New construction on cleared cedar scrub means the highest scorpion activity in town. Mosquito pressure is heavy near the river, and field mice move in during the first few years after a build. See our Rodent Control page.
Old Town Georgetown (78626)
Aging wood framing around the courthouse square needs careful termite and carpenter ant attention. The restaurant district feeds rodents all year.
Berry Creek and Teravista
Established golf community lots with mature trees and water features see spiders, scorpions and seasonal mosquitoes. Armadillos dig up landscaped yards.
Georgetown TX Pest Calendar — What Is Active Right Now
February to May: termite swarms and fire ants
What should Georgetown homeowners watch for in spring? Termites swarm now, so winged insects near windows are a red flag. Fire ant mounds reappear and carpenter bees ramp up as it warms.
June to August: mosquitoes, scorpions and wasps
What pests peak in a Georgetown summer? Heat drives up mosquito and fire ant numbers. Scorpions come indoors to escape the heat, and wasps build nests under eaves and porches.
September to November: crickets, roaches and rodents
What moves indoors in fall? Cricket migrations hit neighborhoods from Old Town to Wolf Ranch. American roaches head inside and rodents look for warm nesting spots. Seal entry points now.
How Our Georgetown Pest Control Process Works
We keep it simple and we explain every step before we touch anything. See the full details on our Our Process page.
1. Free Inspection (Day 1)
We walk your property inside and out, including the garage and crawlspace. We find where pests are getting in and what is drawing them. No guessing, no scare tactics.
2. Upfront Pricing (Same Visit)
Before any work starts, you get a clear quote based on your home size and the pest problem. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. You know exactly what you are paying for.
3. Targeted Treatment (Day 1 to 2)
We treat the source, not just the bugs on the wall. That means baiting colonies, sealing entry points, and applying a barrier where pests travel. We use safe, labeled products chosen for your specific pest.
4. Follow Up and Prevention (Ongoing)
After the first treatment, we check back to confirm the problem is gone and catch anything that survived an egg cycle. For most homes, a quarterly or bi-monthly plan keeps the barrier strong so pests never get a foothold again.
How long does pest control take to work?
You will usually see a big drop in activity within a few days of the first treatment. Full results take longer for pests with egg cycles, like roaches and fleas, which often need a follow up in two to four weeks. Termite and rodent jobs may need several visits. We keep you updated the whole way.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pest Control in Georgetown TX
Still have questions? Visit our full FAQs page or call us directly.
What pests are most common in Georgetown TX?
The most common pests in Georgetown are subterranean termites, red imported fire ants, striped bark scorpions, mosquitoes, cockroaches and rodents. The limestone soil, the San Gabriel River and constant new construction keep all of them active every month. Most homeowners meet at least three within their first year here.
How much does pest control cost in Georgetown TX?
General pest control runs $150 to $300 for a one-time visit, or $85 to $175 per visit on a quarterly plan. Scorpion treatment runs $150 to $350 and termite treatment runs $800 to $2,500. Your exact price comes from a free inspection, and we give you the number before any work starts.
Do you offer same-day pest control in Georgetown TX?
Yes. Same-day service is available across Georgetown and Williamson County when you call early. Urgent problems like scorpions indoors, wasp nests or rodents in the attic often get a same afternoon visit. We answer calls seven days a week, including after hours and holidays.
Is pest control safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use low-toxicity, EPA approved products that are safe for children and pets once dry, usually within 30 to 60 minutes for exterior work. Interior baits go in cracks and crevices that kids and pets cannot reach. Tell your technician about pets so we adjust placement.
Why do I have scorpions in my new Georgetown home?
Newer Georgetown subdivisions sit on cleared cedar scrub and limestone, the natural home of the striped bark scorpion. When land is graded, displaced scorpions move toward the nearest house. Homes on the west side usually see the most scorpion activity in the first two to four years after a build.
How often should I get pest control in Georgetown TX?
Most homeowners need quarterly treatments, four visits a year, because the mild climate keeps pests active every season. Homes near the river or in high-pressure areas like Wolf Ranch often do better on bi-monthly service in peak season. Active termite, roach or rodent problems may need monthly visits until controlled.
Why do fire ants keep coming back to my yard?
Store bought treatments kill the mound you see but rarely reach the queen, so the colony rebuilds in days. Georgetown's clay soil and constant construction also let colonies migrate from nearby yards all summer. Professional baiting uses slow-acting product that workers carry to the queen, which clears the whole colony. See our Ant Control page.
What are the signs of a termite infestation in Georgetown TX?
The most common signs are mud tubes on the foundation or plumbing, hollow sounding wood, and winged insects near windows in spring. Termites swarm from February through May. Sun City slab homes are vulnerable at plumbing gaps, while Old Town homes carry risk in aging wood framing. Read more on our Termite Control page.
I found droppings but I am not sure what pest it is. Can you help identify it?
Yes. Pest identification is part of every free inspection. Droppings behind baseboards, gnaw marks on wiring and unknown bugs are all things our technicians identify on the first visit. You do not need to know what you have. That is what the inspection is for.
Do you do one-time treatments or only plans?
Both. We offer one-time treatments for immediate problems and quarterly or bi-monthly plans for year-round protection. A one-time visit clears the active pests. A recurring plan keeps a fresh barrier in place so new pests never settle in, which matters in Georgetown's climate.
Does homeowners insurance cover termite damage?
Standard homeowners insurance does not cover termite damage, because it is treated as preventable through maintenance. That is why preventive termite protection matters so much in Georgetown, where subterranean termites are active year-round. A yearly inspection catches activity before it becomes a costly structural repair.
Do you offer eco-friendly pest control in Georgetown?
Yes. Every treatment we use is low-toxicity and family-safe and pet-safe, built around Integrated Pest Management. Eco-friendly does not mean less effective. We use targeted products in the right places for lasting results, which protects the San Gabriel River watershed and your family at the same time.
Does pest control work in Texas heat?
Yes. Professional treatments are formulated to hold up in Central Texas heat and humidity. The key is the service interval. A residual barrier stays effective for about 60 to 90 days before the active ingredients weaken, which is why quarterly or bi-monthly service works better here than spraying once or twice a year.
