What our licensed technicians see on the ground in Burnet County.
Termite pressure in Marble Falls reflects the region's humid subtropical climate and long warm season. Homes built on concrete slabs — particularly in neighborhoods like Downtown Marble Falls — provide subterranean colonies hidden access through plumbing penetrations and expansion joints. Mature tree canopies near Lake Marble Falls contribute to elevated soil moisture that accelerates colony growth. Romex certified applicators conduct annual monitoring with non-invasive bait stations and thermal imaging, catching active tubes before structural damage reaches the sills or sub-floor. Warranty-backed liquid treatments from Termidor or Taurus SC seal the perimeter for up to ten years.
Prevention tip: Keep mulch, firewood, and landscaping timbers at least 12 inches away from foundation walls and never stack firewood against the house.
Mosquito populations in Marble Falls surge from April through October, driven by standing water that collects in gutters, bird baths, bromeliad pockets, and drainage ditches. Lakeside sees particularly high pressure because high mosquito activity and increased likelihood of water-loving pests like spiders and ants.. Our service crews have documented heavy activity within 500 feet of Blue Bonnet Cafe, where untreated vegetation provides daytime harborage for Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus. We apply In2Care stations and barrier treatments with Talstar P that last up to 30 days per application.
Prevention tip: Walk your property weekly and dump any standing water — a discarded bottle cap can breed 300 mosquitoes in seven days.
Red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) are the dominant outdoor ant species in Burnet County, forming visible mounds after every significant rain. Turfgrass areas near Lake Marble Falls can host 50+ mounds per acre during wet springs. Indoors, the picture shifts: odorous house ants, acrobat ants, and — in older wood-framed homes — carpenter ants account for most kitchen and bathroom trails. Downtown Marble Falls reports trend heavily toward fire ants on the outside and odorous house ants on the interior. Our treatment uses Top Choice fipronil granules outside for season-long fire ant control, plus non-repellent Termidor SC band applications on entry points.
Prevention tip: Never spray a visible ant trail indoors — it scatters the colony. Instead, call a professional to use targeted non-repellent products.
Marble Falls cockroach populations break into two groups: large outdoor-origin species (American, Smokybrown, Oriental) that wander in during temperature swings, and the German cockroach, an indoor-only pest spread by infested packaging and secondhand appliances. We see Smokybrown activity most often in wooded areas of Downtown Marble Falls, particularly in attics where they enter through roof vents and soffits. Commercial accounts near Lake Marble Falls occasionally deal with chronic German cockroach issues from high-volume food waste. Romex uses a two-phase protocol: Demand CS perimeter spray outdoors and Maxforce FC Magnum gel indoors.
Prevention tip: Inspect any secondhand appliance (especially microwaves, toaster ovens, mini fridges) before bringing it indoors — German cockroaches hitchhike inside.

The proximity to the Colorado River and numerous creeks creates ideal conditions for mosquitoes and other moisture-loving insects. Rocky soils and surrounding Hill Country vegetation provide habitats for scorpions, spiders, and rodents. Lake Marble Falls and the abundance of native oaks also attract wildlife pests like raccoons and opossums seeking shelter near human dwellings.
Rising temperatures and increased rainfall cause mosquito and ant populations to surge, especially near Lake Marble Falls and creeks. Termite swarms are also common in older areas.
Warm, humid weather keeps mosquito activity high. Scorpions and spiders seek cool shelter in homes, particularly in rocky neighborhoods like Northwood Acres.
As temperatures cool, rodents and wildlife begin seeking indoor shelter, especially in downtown and west side areas. Ants remain active until the first frost.
Rodent activity increases as they look for warmth indoors, particularly in older homes and businesses. Most insect pests are less active but may be found in warm, sheltered spots.

Fix leaky faucets. Make sure water drains away from your foundation. Use dehumidifiers in damp basements or crawl spaces. With Marble Falls’s waterways nearby, moisture control is extra important. Check sprinkler systems often to stop standing water near your Marble Falls home's foundation.
Trim tree branches and shrubs at least 18 inches from your home. Clear leaf litter, mulch buildup near foundations, and dead wood from your yard. Keep firewood at least 20 feet away and off the ground. Good yard care around Burnet County homes cuts down hiding spots for spiders, ants, and rodents.
Check your Marble Falls home for gaps around pipes, foundation cracks, torn screens, and spaces under doors. Even tiny openings let in insects and mice. Seal them with weatherstripping, door sweeps, caulk, and steel wool. Pay close attention to where utilities enter the building and around HVAC units.
