What we treat

Exterminator Services We Offer in Beaumont

Termites, Mosquitoes and Fire Ants on the Low, Wet Ground of Beaumont

Formosan and native subterranean termites

Subterranean Termite Control in Beaumont

Jefferson is one county where A&M's urban entomologists have documented Formosan subterranean termites. The species turned up in Texas in 1956 and is most often carried to new sites inside reused railroad ties and landscape timbers. A mature Formosan colony may top a million insects, and the winged adults leave the nest on warm nights from the end of May into June, drawn to lights. Native colonies live in the ground and run mud shelter tubes up to the wood they eat.

Rice field, salt marsh, Asian tiger and Culex mosquitoes

Mosquito Control in Beaumont

Jefferson County Mosquito Control sorts local mosquitoes into four groups. Rice field mosquitoes fly 20 to 40 miles and are commonest in the western county, while salt marsh mosquitoes can fly more than 100 miles and favor the east and south; homeowners cannot control either. Asian tiger mosquitoes bite by day and breed in containers, and Culex bites at night, breeds in standing water and can carry St. Louis encephalitis.

Red imported fire ants

Fire Ant Control in Beaumont

Worker counts in a mature colony run from 100,000 up to 500,000, and mounds can stand about 18 inches tall. According to the A&M fire ant program, flooding drives colonies out of their mounds, and the ants drift as a raft until they touch dry ground, so a Beaumont yard can pick up new mounds after high water. Mating flights peak in spring and fall, often in the afternoon after a rain. Mounds also appear in rotting logs, beside stumps and in or under buildings.

Smokybrown and American cockroaches

Cockroach Control in Beaumont

The smokybrown cockroach does best outdoors in the humid parts of Texas, living in mulch, ground cover, palm fronds, tree holes, soffits and attic eaves. The American cockroach, the largest in the state at 1.5 to 2 inches, is common in sewer systems and enters buildings through floor drains. Keeping each P-trap filled with water, checking door thresholds and screening soffits all keep both species outside.

Norway and roof rats

Rodent Control in Beaumont

Texas A&M's wildlife specialists separate the two house rats by nest site: a burrow in the ground almost always means a Norway rat, while a nest up in a double wall or attic is usually a roof rat. Both gnaw wires, which can start fires, and leave droppings, tracks and greasy smears along the routes they use. Their recommended approach combines trapping or bait with removing shelter, food and water, and rat-proofing the building.

Seasonal Pest Control in Beaumont

  1. Wet season, April to October

    The wettest stretch of the year runs through these months, and puddles, ditches and clogged drains feed mosquitoes. Jefferson County sprays from aircraft and trucks, but its insecticides have no lasting effect and kill only the mosquitoes they hit, so emptying containers around your own house still matters. Fire ant colonies flushed out by high water start new mounds.

  2. Late spring, May and June

    Formosan termites swarm on late-spring nights and gather at porch lights and windows, while native subterranean species fly earlier, in early spring. Fire ant mating flights also come in spring. This is the time to check window sills and light fixtures for discarded wings.

  3. Summer, July to September

    The average July high is about 92 degrees. Yellowjacket nests are at their biggest around August and September, built of paper-like material in the ground, under eaves or in wall voids. Smokybrown roaches follow warmth and moisture into soffits and garages, and mosquitoes keep breeding wherever water stands.

  4. Dry season, November to March

    January highs average about 62 degrees, and snow is rare, so insects slow down without stopping. Rats and other pests look for sheltered spots in attics and wall voids, which makes winter a sensible time to look for droppings, gnaw marks and gaps around pipes and rooflines.

Beaumont Pest Control FAQ

Looking for pest control near you in Beaumont? Call (512) 561-7451 or request a free estimate.

Are Formosan termites in Beaumont?

Yes. Texas A&M's urban entomologists have documented Formosan subterranean termites in Jefferson County. The species reached Texas in 1956 near the Houston Ship Channel and moves mainly in reused railroad ties and landscaping timbers. Winged adults circling a light on a late-spring night, around the end of May, are the usual first sign, and the wood they damage can sound hollow when tapped.

Which mosquitoes bite in Beaumont?

Jefferson County Mosquito Control names four groups: rice field and salt marsh mosquitoes that fly in from fields and marshes, Asian tiger mosquitoes that bite in daylight, and Culex mosquitoes that bite at night. The last two breed near homes, so emptying containers and any pooled water helps most. County spraying kills only the mosquitoes it directly hits.

Do fire ants float away in Beaumont floods?

They do. In flooded ground, colonies abandon their mounds and drift as a mass until they reach dry land, then start a new nest, according to Texas A&M's fire ant program. After high water, look along fences, stumps and slab edges for fresh mounds, and remember they can form in or under buildings. Mating flights tend to follow rainy periods, mostly in spring and fall.

What do Beaumont plans cost?

A Beaumont plan begins at $57. Property size and the pests involved set the final figure, which is why you start with a free estimate. A house near the Neches River and a downtown restaurant do not need the same plan, so we shape it around your address and what has been showing up.

Do you service Beaumont businesses?

Yes. Restaurants, shops, offices and industrial properties in Beaumont can be served alongside homes. Floor drains, loading areas and ditches around a building give roaches, rodents and mosquitoes places to hide and breed, so the estimate looks at the whole property. Requesting the estimate costs nothing.

Is a termite inspection worth ordering before a Beaumont sale?

It is a good idea. Termites live in Jefferson County soil, including the Formosan species, and Texas A&M notes that damage often hides behind wallboard, siding or trim. Our inspections for termites and other pests give everyone in the deal, buyer, seller and agent, one set of findings on paper before closing, so fewer surprises turn up late.

Are Beaumont treatments eco-friendly?

Beaumont properties are treated with eco-friendly products. If you have children, pets, a vegetable garden or a pond near the bayou side of your lot, mention it when you ask for the estimate so the plan can be built around those details.

How do I get started in Beaumont?

Phone (512) 561-7451 or submit the online estimate form, then tell us about the property and what showed up, such as swarmers, mosquitoes or roaches. Pick your plan, then book the first visit on our website. Plans start at $57.

Beaumont, Texas

Why Beaumont Is a Hotspot for Pests

Beaumont sits about 16 feet above sea level, with the Neches River on its east side and Pine Island Bayou along the north. More than 65 inches of rain a year keeps the ground damp, and pests treat that as an invitation.

Beaumont is the Jefferson County seat. The 2020 census counted 115,282 people, and the city spreads across roughly 85 square miles that rise only 16 feet above sea level. The Neches River forms its eastern edge and Pine Island Bayou its northern one. The climate is humid subtropical, with a wet season from April to October, and the record low is 10 degrees.

Oil from Spindletop, struck on January 10, 1901, turned a river town into a boom city, and the Port of Beaumont and the ExxonMobil refinery still anchor the economy. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and Tropical Storm Imelda in 2019 both brought severe flooding, which is why standing water and soaked soil shape what moves into local houses.

What Makes Beaumont Different for Pest Control

Slabs, sills and soaked soil around Beaumont houses

Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Beaumont details that shape every plan we write here.

  1. Termites need moisture, and Texas A&M lists leaky plumbing, roof leaks, air conditioner condensation and poor gutters as water sources that let them live away from the soil. In wet Beaumont, hold the grade a few inches beneath the slab edge, cut plants back from the walls so an inspector can see the foundation, and avoid letting wood touch the ground.

  2. Large roaches come in through drains, gaps under doors and open soffits, so fill each P-trap, fit door sweeps and screen the vents. For mosquitoes, tip out buckets, tire stacks, saucers and any other container that holds water after a storm, since the day-biting Asian tiger mosquito breeds in exactly those.
