Pest Pressure in Lubbock County

The Panhandle sits high and dry on the southern Great Plains, with extreme temperature swings, persistent wind, and an agricultural landscape. Pests here are driven indoors by both the summer heat and the hard winters, and farm country pushes insects toward town lights and structures.

• Brown recluse spiders — the High Plains fall squarely within the recluse range, and the spiders thrive in attics, closets, and storage.
• Rodents — deer mice from the surrounding farmland (a hantavirus concern), house mice, and Norway rats move into outbuildings and homes.
• Overwintering invaders — boxelder bugs, elm leaf beetles, and crickets enter structures in fall to escape the cold and stay active in heated spaces.
• Agricultural insects — wind carries grasshoppers, beetles, and moths from surrounding fields toward town, especially around lights.

Overwintering pests invade in fall, rodents press in as temperatures drop, and field insects peak in late spring and summer.
