El Paso Pests on Both Sides of the Franklin Mountains

Turkestan cockroaches

Cockroach Control in El Paso

Texas A&M AgriLife traces this roach's Texas story to El Paso. First noticed in California in 1978, it turned up soon after at Fort Bliss, probably on military equipment returning from central Asia. AgriLife now calls it one of the most common outdoor cockroaches here, living in water meter boxes, compost, leaf litter, potted plants and sidewalk expansion joints. Males are slender, orange-brown and drawn to lights; females are dark with short wings.

Striped bark scorpions and vinegaroons

Scorpion Control in El Paso

Texas has about 18 scorpion species, and AgriLife's field guide says the count rises toward the west. The one found in houses is the striped bark scorpion, which hides under rocks, boards and debris, climbs well and often turns up in attics. The guide also places the vinegaroon mainly in West Texas, especially the Trans-Pecos: a nearly black, non-poisonous arachnid up to 3 inches long that pinches and sprays a vinegar-scented mist when disturbed.

Western black widows

Spider Control in El Paso

In the western half of Texas the western black widow largely displaces the southern species, according to AgriLife's field guide, which calls widow spiders quite abundant in the south and west. Webs are irregular and sit low to the ground in dark, sheltered spots: under stones, in holes in dirt banks, in sheds. The venom is highly virulent, but the spider is timid and tries to escape when disturbed.

Mosquitoes and West Nile virus

Mosquito Control in El Paso

Desert or not, El Paso County appears in the state's West Nile numbers. Texas DSHS arbovirus reports list human cases here every year from 2019 through 2025, including 16 in 2019 and 15 in 2021. Monsoon storms leave water in low spots, buckets and clogged gutters, and mosquito larvae need only about a week to develop. The city's Environmental Services Department counts vector control among its duties.

Desert termites and subterranean termites

Subterranean Termite Control in El Paso

Two very different termites live here. The desert termite, which AgriLife calls one of the most common species in western Texas, coats grass, litter and fence posts with thin mud sheets from March through September, mostly after rain. It does not tunnel into wood or damage structures. Subterranean termites do. AgriLife says they occur throughout Texas and reach framing through mud shelter tubes built over foundation walls and through cracks.

Pest control treatment in El Paso, TX

Seasonal Pest Control in El Paso

  1. Wind and dust, March to early May

    Spring brings El Paso's sand and dust storms. Desert termites start working the soil surface in March, and AgriLife says subterranean termites swarm in daylight in spring, usually after a rain. Shed wings on a windowsill mean the foundation needs a look.

  2. Monsoon, June to September

    The bulk of El Paso's annual rain arrives in these months, sometimes fast enough to flood neighborhoods built across old arroyos. Mosquitoes follow the water. AgriLife notes that kissing bugs are busiest in the hottest months and fly to lights at night; Texas, New Mexico and Arizona record the most species and finds.

  3. Cool season, November to February

    December averages about 46 degrees, and the low hit 1 degree in February 2011. AgriLife entomologists say cockroaches, spiders and scorpions head indoors as the weather cools, and house mice do too. Close gaps of a quarter inch or more before then.

El Paso Pest Control FAQ

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

Are there fire ants in El Paso?

El Paso County is not among the 189 Texas counties under the state's red imported fire ant quarantine. AgriLife says the ant's westward spread depends on surface or ground water, and that it has reached some urban areas in western Texas and Doña Ana County, New Mexico, next door. Have any stinging, mound-building ant in an irrigated lawn identified.

What are the orange roaches around my El Paso water meter?

Most likely male Turkestan cockroaches. AgriLife reports that the species is now among the most common outdoor roaches in El Paso and favors water meter boxes, compost, leaf litter and cracks in concrete walks. Females are dark and nearly wingless; males glide toward lit doors and windows.

Are scorpion stings in El Paso dangerous?

Rarely life-threatening. AgriLife's Texas field guide states that no scorpion in the state is considered lethal to people. A striped bark scorpion sting typically brings pain, local swelling, numbness and itching that can last several days. Seek medical care if symptoms spread beyond the sting site.

Is plague found near El Paso?

Yes, in wildlife. Texas DSHS considers plague endemic in far West Texas and the Panhandle, where fleas pass it among rodents and rabbits. Human illness is rare: state surveillance reports show no human cases in 2021, 2022 or 2023. Keep fleas off pets and never handle sick or dead wild animals.

What does it cost to hire a service in El Paso?

Plans for El Paso start at $57. Valley yards and desert-edge lots bring different pests, so the price depends on the property, and every property begins with a free estimate. Describe your home or business and we will match a plan to it.

Should El Paso sellers get a termite inspection?

A termite and pest inspection before listing helps. Both desert termites and the structure-damaging subterranean termites live in El Paso County, and buyers like documented answers. Ours provides sellers, buyers and agents a written record ahead of closing. It also helps when buyers ask about termites during their own review.

Do you use eco-friendly products in El Paso?

Eco-friendly products are what Precision Pest Control uses on El Paso homes and businesses. If you irrigate a lawn or have dogs in the yard, mention it when requesting your estimate so the plan can account for it. Plans start at $57.

El Paso, Texas

Why El Paso Is a Hotspot for Pests

The Franklin Mountains run into El Paso from the north and nearly split it in two: green Rio Grande valley on one side, open Chihuahuan Desert on the other. Each side has its own pests.

El Paso, the El Paso County seat, is the largest city in West Texas, with 678,815 residents in the 2020 census. It stands on the Rio Grande across from Ciudad Juárez at about 3,740 feet, inside the Chihuahuan Desert. Rain averages 8.8 inches a year, much of it from the summer monsoon.

The Upper Valley west of the mountains is the greenest part of the county, and the Mission Valley downstream is its oldest settled ground, site of the Ysleta Mission of 1682. Northeast El Paso filled in beside Fort Bliss during the 1950s and 1960s, and the east side keeps growing toward open desert. Precision Pest Control handles residential, commercial and real estate work on both sides of the mountains.

What Makes El Paso Different for Pest Control

Valley side, desert side: two kinds of El Paso yard

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

  1. Along the river, in the Upper Valley and the Mission Valley, water is the draw. AgriLife warns that irrigating the soil around a foundation can attract foraging termites, and that American and oriental cockroaches come up through floor drains, so keep seldom-used P-traps filled. Palm trees, plentiful around Ysleta, are a listed hiding place for American cockroaches.

  2. On the desert edges of the east side and the Northeast, and along the Franklin foothills, shelter matters more. Scorpions and widows use stacked rock, lumber and yard debris, and wood rat nests can house kissing bugs. AgriLife's advice: clear that harborage, seal exterior cracks, fit door sweeps and screen roof soffits. Our plans use eco-friendly products and start at $57.
