JUSTIN, RIGHT NOW
What Is Biting in Justin This Month
Justin is two towns at once. The older core off FM 156 has settled soil, mature trees and houses old enough to have gaps a mouse can find. The newer subdivisions like Timberbrook out toward FM 407 are still on disturbed ground with young builder turf. We run a different first visit depending on which side of that line you are on.
The Older Core
Settled soil means fewer fire ants than the new builds, but older houses have had decades to develop gaps: worn door sweeps, open weep holes, cracked mortar and utility penetrations that never got sealed. That is how ants, scorpions and mice get in, so on an older Justin home the exclusion work matters more than the spray does.
The New Subdivisions
Out toward FM 407 the ground was pasture recently, and fire ants colonize graded soil before anything else re-establishes. The builder-laid turf on top of it is young and shallow-rooted, which is exactly what chinch bugs look for. Brown patches on a two-year-old Justin lawn are far more often insects than they are drought.
EVERY PROGRAM WE RUN HERE
Pest Services in Justin
Eight visits April through September. Heavier in the older core, where the tree canopy holds humidity.
Year-round, four visits a year. Perimeter and eaves, 25 feet out, fire ants included, Delta Dust in the weep holes.
THE FIRST VISIT
What We Look At First in Justin
How Old the House Is
It decides the plan. An older Justin home gets exclusion first: weep holes, door sweeps and utility penetrations. A newer one gets broadcast bait and a look at the turf, because the problems there are still coming out of the ground rather than through the wall.
The Weep Holes, Either Way
Old brick or new, the weep holes along the bottom course are the most-used entrance into a North Texas home. We treat every one with Delta Dust as part of the standard plan, and copper mesh exclusion is available as an add-on.
Where the Town Stops
Justin is small enough that a lot of properties still touch open ground. That boundary is where the chiggers, the ticks and a good share of the rodent pressure start, so it gets a treated buffer instead of being ignored.

Justin sits on the same northbound route as Northlake and Argyle, so it is usually a same-week address when we are already running that direction.
