Pest Pressure in Nacogdoches County

The Piney Woods get the most rainfall in the state, and the combination of dense forest, sandy acidic soils, and abundant deadwood makes this prime habitat for wood-destroying insects and moisture-loving pests. Rural and wooded lots put homes in close contact with the surrounding ecosystem.

• Subterranean termites — plentiful soil moisture and decaying wood across the forest floor feed large, persistent colonies.
• Carpenter ants — forested lots and moisture-damaged wood give carpenter ants ready nesting sites in and around homes.
• Mosquitoes and ticks — shaded, humid woodland and standing water sustain heavy mosquito and tick activity through the warm months.
• Fire ants — imported fire ants are entrenched across pastures, yards, and roadsides throughout the region.

Activity climbs through spring and stays high all summer; termite swarms follow warm spring rains and mosquito pressure tracks the wettest stretches.
