Recognizing Vulnerabilities in Hill Country Environments
Living in the scenic Hill Country means sharing the landscape with a variety of hardy insects and rodents that frequently seek shelter within human structures. Identifying the signs of an infestation early is the most effective way to prevent structural damage or health risks to your family. Common indicators include small droppings in pantries, mysterious clicking sounds in walls, or the sudden appearance of mud tubes near the foundation. Many residents also report finding scorpions in laundry rooms or garages, particularly during periods of extreme heat or heavy rainfall.
- Scorpions often enter homes through small cracks to find moisture and cooler temperatures.
- Fire ants create large mounds that can damage landscaping and pose stinging risks to pets.
- Spiders like the Brown Recluse prefer dark, undisturbed areas such as attics or closets.
- Rodents can chew through electrical wiring, creating significant fire hazards for homeowners.
- Cockroaches and silverfish thrive in the humid environments found near local waterways.
Understanding these patterns is the first step toward reclaiming your property. When localized treatments or DIY attempts fail to keep these intruders at bay, it usually indicates a larger, more established colony nearby. Professional intervention focuses on the root cause of the activity rather than just the visible pests. This systematic approach ensures that your living environment remains healthy and secure throughout every season.

Practical Prevention and Seasonal Insights
Kerrville property owners can take several proactive steps to minimize the attraction of pests throughout the year. One of the most effective methods is managing the landscape directly adjacent to the foundation. We recommend keeping shrubs and tree branches trimmed at least one foot away from the house to eliminate natural bridges for ants and spiders. Additionally, ensuring that firewood is stacked away from the main structure and elevated off the ground prevents it from becoming a nesting site for termites and scorpions.
Moisture management is also critical, especially during the humid summer months near the river. Check your outdoor faucets for leaks and ensure that gutters are clear so that water flows away from the building's base. Inside the home, sealing small gaps around pipes and utility entries with caulk or steel wool can effectively block the primary highways used by rodents. By combining these simple home maintenance tasks with our professional oversight, you can create a highly resilient barrier against the most common Hill Country invaders.

What do cockroaches eat?
Cockroaches feed on both plants and animals. They will feast on almost anything but especially like sugary foods, grease and fat, starches, and meat products.
They will even eat glue, book bindings, and human hair.
Cockroaches are attracted to decaying plants, rotting trash, compost piles, dog droppings, and cat litter. These unwanted pests are known as the sanitation workers of the animal kingdom. The worse something smells, the more attracted the cockroaches are.
Keeping your home and yard clear of debris and utilizing pest control will help eliminate these pesky critters.

Lifecycle of a Cockroach
Cockroaches go through 3 stages of life: egg, nymph, and adult. Females produce one egg sac each month for ten months. Each sac contains on average 16 eggs. The female cockroach will carry an egg case for several days and will then place it in a safe, damp place.
On average cockroaches live 6 to 15 months depending on the species, moisture, and temperature.

Am I legally obligated to do a new construction treatment?Yes. Here in Texas, it is legally mandated for all new wood constructions to incorporate termite preventive measures. This is not just the case in Texas but in the majority of the country. At least 34 states require some kind of termite treatment for all new wood constructions, and most of these states are in the southern half of the country, where most termite problems occur.
