Pest Pressure in Wichita County

The Rolling Plains and Concho Valley sit in the semi-arid west-central part of the state, with mesquite rangeland, limited rainfall, and hot summers. As outdoor moisture dries up, desert- and plains-adapted pests move toward the water and shelter that homes provide.

• Scorpions — dry, rocky rangeland is natural scorpion habitat; they enter homes seeking water and cooler shelter in summer.
• Brown recluse and black widow spiders — undisturbed garages, sheds, and storage across the region are ideal harborage.
• Rodents — mice and rats move indoors from surrounding rangeland and farmland for food and water.
• Fire ants and crickets — fire ants entrench in irrigated yards, and seasonal cricket swarms gather around lights and push into buildings.

Indoor pressure peaks in the hot, dry months of summer as pests follow moisture inside; rodents intensify as nights cool in fall.
