Common Pests in The Woodlands

The Woodlands’ warm, humid climate and natural landscape create an environment ripe for pests to thrive. Our experience gives us a better handle on what pests are active during which months—and how often we need to visit to keep them from coming back.

Here are some of the most common invaders our customers face year-round:

• Mosquitoes - With extensive wooded areas and plentiful rainfall, the conditions in The Woodlands create a mosquito breeding haven. These pests aren’t just a seasonal annoyance; they can carry harmful diseases like West Nile virus. 
• Termites - Subterranean termites are prevalent in our region and thrive in wooded landscapes. Without proper prevention and treatment, termites can cause extensive structural damage over time. 
• Rodents - Roof rats and house mice are especially active in areas like Sterling Ridge and Creekside Park. They often use utility lines and trees to access homes and businesses, posing threats to property and health. 
• Ants and cockroaches - Warm, humid weather means year-round battles with ants—including invasive fire ants—and persistent cockroach infestations. These pests can contaminate food, spread bacteria, and invade with startling speed. 
• Wildlife - Squirrels, raccoons, and opossums frequently become uninvited guests on properties near the vast green spaces of The Woodlands.

These pests not only disrupt your day-to-day life but can also cause structural damage and spread disease. BUGCO^® Pest Control has handled pest issues in Town Center lofts, single-family homes in Sterling Ridge, and backyard patios in Grogan’s Mill. Our familiarity with the area helps us spot early signs of activity that might go unnoticed by other companies.
