Pest Control in Jarrell, TX

Jarrell was the fastest growing small city in Texas after Princeton in the 2024 Census estimates, and the Sonterra community next door sold 400 new homes in 2025. Three quarters of the homes here were built since 2000, most on former pasture where fire ants are the first pest a new owner meets.

The median Williamson County home was built in 2005, and the county permitted about 46,000 new homes from 2021 through 2025. New subdivisions cut into pasture and cedar brush get fire ants and scorpions in their first summers, while the 1970s to 1990s homes in Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville and Taylor are where termite inspections and rodents in the attic come up most.

Across Williamson County the pest year runs on a schedule: termite swarmers from late winter into spring, fire ant mounds after every rain, mosquito trapping for West Nile from May to November, scorpions coming inside in the hot dry weeks, and rodents and roaches moving in with the first cold fronts. The Georgetown Lake normals put only about 28 nights a year at or below freezing, so the slow season is short.
