WATAUGA, RIGHT NOW
What Is Biting in Watauga This Month
Watauga was largely built out in the 1970s and 80s, which means settled soil, big shade trees and brick that has had forty years to open up at the weep holes and door sweeps. That combination shifts the work toward exclusion and mosquito control rather than the fire ant fights of the newer suburbs.
Established Brick
Decades-old brick has gaps a new house does not: worn thresholds, open weep holes, utility penetrations that were never sealed. Rodents, scorpions and roaches find them first. We close what we can and dust the rest on every visit.
Shade and Standing Water
Mature canopy keeps yards damp and still, which is what mosquitoes rest in by day. Add a clogged gutter or a birdbath and the season runs from April straight through September.
EVERY PROGRAM WE RUN HERE
Pest Services in Watauga
A visit every 21 days, April through September. Mature tree canopy holds shade and humidity, so pressure runs heavier than in the newer subdivisions.
Year-round, four visits a year. Perimeter and eaves, 25 feet out, fire ants included, Delta Dust in the weep holes.
Grubs and armyworms in established Bermuda and St. Augustine, chinch bugs wherever the turf was replaced recently.
THE FIRST VISIT
What We Look At First in Watauga
How Old the House Is
It decides the plan. An older Watauga home gets exclusion first: weep holes, door sweeps and utility penetrations that have had decades to open up. Once the gaps are closed, the perimeter treatment has far less work to do.
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 dust them with Delta Dust on every visit, and if you want them sealed for good, copper mesh is an add-on.
Mulch, Leaf Litter and Shade
Established yards collect the harborage pests love: deep mulch against the slab, leaf litter under shrubs, damp shade that never dries out. We point out what to pull back from the foundation and treat what stays.
