Pest Pressure in Tarrant County

The Blackland Prairie — running through the Dallas-Fort Worth, Waco, and Austin metro corridors — is defined by deep, expansive clay soils. Those clays shrink and swell with moisture, cracking foundations and opening the gaps that termites and ants exploit, while dense suburban growth concentrates pest pressure.

• Subterranean and Formosan termites — expansive clay holds moisture against foundations and soil movement opens entry points; Formosan termites are documented across the DFW region.
• Fire ants — imported fire ants thrive in prairie soils and saturate suburban yards, parks, and sports fields.
• Rodents — dense, fast-growing suburbs give roof rats and house mice abundant harborage and food.
• Cockroaches — German cockroaches in multifamily housing and American roaches in storm sewers are persistent metro problems.

Termite swarms emerge after spring rains, fire ant mounds surge in spring and fall, and rodents press indoors as fall cools.
