What we treat

Exterminator Services We Offer in Brownsville

Mosquitoes, Fire Ants and Termites on the Gulf Side of the Valley

Mosquitoes and dengue-carrying Aedes

Mosquito Control in Brownsville

AgriLife says about 55 mosquito species live in Texas, and larvae finish growing in roughly one week. Texas DSHS adds that sporadic dengue outbreaks have occurred in the far south of the state, spread by a domestic, day-biting Aedes that prefers people. Its advice is to remove, repair or empty anything that collects rainwater: used tires, plastic containers, flower pots and clogged roof gutters. Change birdbath and pet water often.

Red imported fire ants

Fire Ant Control in Brownsville

The red imported fire ant quarantine run by the state agriculture department includes Cameron County. AgriLife notes that flooding forces a colony out of its mound, and the ants float together until they reach land and build anew. That matters in a town with resacas and September rain. Per AgriLife, one colony may contain between 100,000 and 500,000 workers, and a lawn mound can rise 18 inches.

Subterranean and drywood termites

Subterranean Termite Control in Brownsville

AgriLife places subterranean termites in all of Texas, though coastal areas see more of them, nesting in soil and entering through tubes of soil and saliva. Drywood termites are listed in the state's coastal counties. They live inside sound, dry wood and drop hard, seed-like pellets from small kick holes, and they swarm in late summer and early fall.

American cockroaches

Cockroach Control in Brownsville

Humid air, palms and sewer lines favor the American cockroach. AgriLife describes it as one of the largest common roaches in Texas, roughly an inch and a half to two inches long, with a reddish-brown body. It lives in wood piles, palm trees and sewers, hides in dark damp places by day and is most active at night, using gaps around doors, pipes and electric lines.

Kissing bugs

Kissing Bug Control in Brownsville

Kissing bugs (Triatoma) are found around Texas homes, says AgriLife, and the risk of Chagas disease is greatest in southern Texas and points south. The bugs often nest with wood rats and other rodents, and adults come to lights. Seal gaps near doors and windows, and switch off outdoor lights when you can.

Seasonal Pest Control in Brownsville

  1. Spring, March to May

    Termite swarmers fly by day after rain, and fire ant colonies release winged reproductives as the ground warms. The season is already humid, so roaches become more active outdoors and begin working their way toward kitchens and bathrooms.

  2. Storm season, June to October

    Heat waves bring about 141 afternoons a year above 90 degrees, and September, with 5.73 inches of rain, carries the highest tropical cyclone threat. Water pooling in resaca-side yards, gutters and tires breeds mosquitoes, and floods push fire ants into new mounds.

  3. Mild winter, December to February

    January lows average about 53 degrees, and freezes occur once or twice a year at most. Pests slow without stopping. AgriLife entomologists say roaches, spiders and mice still move indoors when it cools, so seal gaps first.

Brownsville Pest Control FAQ

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

Are mosquitoes a health concern in Brownsville?

They can be. Texas DSHS says sporadic dengue outbreaks have occurred in the state's far southern reaches, though most U.S. cases are travel related. The Aedes mosquito responsible feeds in daylight and breeds in small water-holding items, so empty tires, pots and birdbaths weekly.

Are there fire ants in Brownsville?

Yes. Cameron County sits inside the state's fire ant quarantine area. After flooding, AgriLife says colonies float as a mass until they reach dry ground, so new mounds can appear after a storm. Avoid disturbing a mound and have heavy infestations looked at.

Do drywood termites live in Brownsville?

AgriLife lists drywood termites in Texas coastal counties, and Cameron County is one. They live in dry wood, not soil, and leave hard pellets below tiny holes. Subterranean termites, the more common kind, also occur here.

How big are the roaches in Brownsville?

American cockroaches reach about 1.5 to 2 inches, according to AgriLife, making them among the largest common roaches in Texas. They live in sewers, palms and wood piles and come indoors through drains and cracks. Keep rarely used drains full of water.

What do Brownsville plans cost?

Brownsville plans start at $57. Each property begins with a free estimate, because yard size, nearby water and the pests you see all shape the plan. Tell us about your house or business to get started.

Do you serve Brownsville businesses?

Yes. Brownsville eateries, stores, offices and port-area warehouses get service alongside houses. Humidity, drains and loading areas draw roaches and ants, so a business estimate considers the building, the surrounding grounds and anything that holds water nearby.

Should a Brownsville seller order a termite inspection?

Often, yes. Subterranean termites are more prevalent near the coast, and buyers value paperwork. A written inspection result lets everyone in a Cameron County sale see the same findings before closing, which keeps surprises off the table late in the process.

How do I schedule service in Brownsville?

Brownsville, Texas

Why Brownsville Is a Hotspot for Pests

Brownsville stands about 33 feet above sea level, within reach of the Gulf, with humidity averaging nearly 76 percent and 141 afternoons a year above 90 degrees. A frost is rare, so pests here seldom get a real winter break.

Brownsville, the Cameron County seat, had 186,738 residents in the 2020 census. Zachary Taylor built Fort Texas here in 1846, later renamed Fort Brown, and the city faces Matamoros across the Rio Grande. Its soils are river deposits, and oxbow lakes called resacas, old Rio Grande channels, carry water and birds through the area, including at Resaca de la Palma State Park.

Rainfall averages 26.78 inches a year and peaks in September, when tropical cyclone risk is also highest. January lows average 53.1 degrees, and the record low is 12. The Port of Brownsville lies about two miles away, linking the area to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Residential, commercial and real estate customers across the city can book Precision Pest Control.

What Makes Brownsville Different for Pest Control

Resaca-side yards and slab homes in Brownsville

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

  1. Water and humidity shape the yard here. Empty containers that hold rain, clear gutters and keep landscape irrigation from soaking the soil by a foundation, since AgriLife warns that watering beside a slab can attract foraging termites. Trim palm fronds away from the roof, because palms are a recorded hiding place for American cockroaches.

  2. After heavy rain, check lawns for new fire ant mounds and wear closed shoes when working in the yard. AgriLife also recommends keeping floor drain traps full, caulking exterior cracks and fitting door sweeps. Pricing begins at $57, and eco-friendly products go into each plan.
