What we treat
Cockroaches, Termites and Fire Ants Near Denton's Campuses and Courthouse Square
German cockroaches
AgriLife calls the German cockroach the most prolific indoor roach in Texas, with a generation about every 100 days, and says it cannot live outdoors in the state. It spends roughly 75 percent of its life in narrow cracks and crevices and comes out at night. Gel baits placed within 1 to 2 feet of hiding places work better than sprays, and dusts go lightly into wall voids and behind appliances.
Subterranean termites
Swarms of winged termites begin in early spring and run into early summer, per AgriLife, and swarmers indoors usually signal an active infestation. Look along crawl space piers, utility penetrations and slab walls for earthen shelter tubes, and break one open to look for live insects. The extension says to cut back plants from outside walls so they can be inspected.
Red imported fire ants
For individual mounds, the Texas fire ant program lists dust, granules, bait, a drench or very hot water, and it pairs these with a yard-wide bait broadcast for best results. Mounds hold soft soil and have no central hole. In drought, ants move toward laundry piles, utility rooms and bathrooms, and in a flood they move into any dark, dry place, including buildings.
Southern house mosquitoes
Mosquitoes spread West Nile virus, and Texas DSHS says some infected people develop fever, while about 1 in 150 get the severe form affecting the brain and spinal cord. Dallas County lists the four Ds of protection: DEET, dress, drain, dusk and dawn. Draining pots, kiddie pools, ponds, tires and gutters removes the places where mosquitoes lay eggs.
Paper wasps
A paper wasp nest is an open comb with uncapped cells, hanging face-down by a single stalk, and the Texas Insects guide says a mature one holds about 20 to 30 adults. Wasps forage by day, and the whole colony is on the nest at night. Late in the year, mated females leave to overwinter, and the rest of the colony does not survive winter.
Spotted something?
Termite swarmers emerge from early spring, and paper wasp queens that survived winter pick nest sites. Fire ant bait is ineffective in cool weather below 65 degrees, so wait for a warmer spell before applying it.
Heat and drought push fire ants into damp rooms, while mosquitoes breed in anything that holds water. German cockroaches thrive near 80 degrees, AgriLife says, so warm apartment kitchens stay busy all summer, and wasp nests reach full size.
Fire ant bait applied through October holds colonies down into spring. Cooler weather also sends rodents into buildings, and wasps gather on goldenrod in late fall before colonies die off, leaving only fertilized females to seek sheltered cracks.

They breed fast, about a generation every 100 days, and hide in tight cracks near food and water. AgriLife recommends sanitation, sealing and baits placed close to hiding spots. If one bait fails after 2 to 3 weeks, switch to another active ingredient. Foggers rarely reach them.
Watch for winged swarmers indoors in early spring, shed wings near windows and mud tubes climbing foundation walls or piers. Swarmers inside usually mean an active colony, AgriLife says. A yearly inspection by a licensed professional is also recommended.
The Texas fire ant program lists dusts, granules, baits, drenches and very hot water for individual mounds. Pair them with a bait spread over the whole yard, applied when temperatures are between 65 and 95 degrees, for the best result.
Texas DSHS says West Nile is spread by mosquitoes and may be a risk year-round in warm parts of the state. Roughly 80 percent of infected people never become ill. Drain standing water, wear repellent and avoid being outdoors at dusk and dawn when you can.

Paper wasps rest on the nest at night, so approach in daylight with care or call a professional. Texas A&M says a strong jet of water sprayed from far away can knock a nest off an eave. Keep people and pets back, because wasps defend the nest and can sting.
Denton is a college town and county seat on flat north Texas ground, with two large universities and a historic square. Rental housing, restaurants and warm, humid summers give indoor roaches and outdoor ants a lot to work with.
Denton is the seat of Denton County and had 139,869 residents in 2020. It stands at about 659 feet on the northeast edge of the Bend Arch to Fort Worth Basin, where the terrain is flat, and part of the city lies over the Barnett Shale. The University of North Texas enrolls more than 42,000 students, and Texas Woman's University, founded in 1901, has over 13,000.
At the center of town is the Denton County Courthouse-on-the-Square, a National Register building restored in 1986. Summers are hot and humid, winters are cool and about 37.7 inches of rain falls in a typical year. Denton sits at the southern end of Tornado Alley, and storms and humidity keep insects active.
Local field notes
What our technicians check first on a Denton property
Unique to Denton
Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Denton details that shape every plan we write here.
Rentals and duplexes near the campuses have kitchens and bathrooms where German cockroaches can settle quickly. AgriLife recommends sealing entry points, cleaning up food and moisture and using bait rather than total-release foggers, which rarely reach the cracks where cockroaches hide.
On flat ground, water collects around foundations after storms. Check that gutters empty well away from the slab, that sprinklers do not soak the wall and that no wood touches soil. We look at those spots first, clear active pests with products that are eco-friendly and write up what to repair.
