Pest Pressure in Wise County

The Cross Timbers is a transitional belt of post-oak woodland and sandy soils between the eastern prairies and the western plains. The mix of wooded acreage and sandy, well-drained ground gives it a broad pest spread — wood-destroying insects from the timber and dry-ground pests alike.

• Subterranean termites — wooded lots and sandy soils with buried deadwood sustain active colonies.
• Fire ants — imported fire ants are entrenched in pastures, yards, and roadsides throughout the belt.
• Scorpions and spiders — sandy, rocky ground and the western edge of the range bring striped bark scorpions and recluse spiders into homes.
• Rodents — rural and acreage properties put mice and rats in close contact with barns, outbuildings, and homes.

Termite swarms follow spring rains, scorpion and spider activity peaks in summer heat, and rodents move indoors through fall.
