Why Keller homes see steady pest pressure
Keller is a city of about 46,000 people in northeast Tarrant County, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Most homes are single-family houses, and the median home was built in 1999, per Census ACS data.
The city also holds a lot of green space. Keller has more than 300 acres of developed parks and more than 26 miles of hike and bike trails, per the City of Keller. That mix of creeks, trees, and older homes shapes which pests reach your door.
- Creeks and ponds. Big Bear Creek runs through the 44-acre Bear Creek Park, which also has a pond. Slow water along creek banks lets mosquitoes breed from spring into fall.
- Tree canopy. Keller is a Tree City USA community. Limbs that hang over a roof give roof rats and scorpions a direct path to your attic.
- Homes near 25 years old. A 1999 home got its termite pre-treatment before the slab was poured. That soil treatment was never meant to last the life of the house.
- Brick fronts with weep holes. Weep holes let brick walls drain. Without mesh covers, they also let scorpions, spiders, and ants into the wall.
- Watered lawns. Irrigation keeps soil damp near the foundation, which draws termites. Healthy turf also feeds grub worms, and fire ants mound in open, sunny yards.
West Nile mosquitoes in Keller: why your yard needs its own plan
Keller works with Tarrant County Public Health to test mosquito traps each season. In 2026, the first West Nile positive came from a trap on Shady Grove Road on June 10. By July 1, a trap on Ottinger Road had tested positive two weeks in a row, per the City of Keller.
City spraying is now the exception. Because of concerns about insecticide resistance, the county asked cities to spray only after three straight weeks of positives at one trap, or after a nearby human case. The City of Keller explains the change.
That leaves most mosquito control to each property owner. Our mosquito treatment targets the shrubs, fence lines, and shaded plants where adult mosquitoes rest, on a 21-day cycle. We also flag standing water, like clogged gutters, plant saucers, and sprinkler valve boxes.

Common pests in Keller and the services that treat them
Here are the pests most likely to show up on a Keller property, with the service that handles each one.
Subterranean termites
Subterranean termites cause about $500 million in damage in Texas each year, according to Texas A&M AgriLife. They swarm in spring and early summer. The damage stays hidden inside walls until repairs get expensive.
Keller’s median home value is about $594,000, so early detection protects a lot of equity. Our termite treatment uses a liquid barrier, bait stations, or both. Building new? Ask about termite pre-treatment before the slab goes down.
Swarms follow a seasonal pattern across Tarrant County. Our termite swarm season guide shows what to watch for.
Roof rats and house mice
Roof rats climb. In a city with Keller’s tree cover, they use overhanging limbs and fence tops to reach soffits and attic vents. House mice come in low, often under worn garage door seals.
Our rodent control starts with exclusion. We seal entry points first, then place tamper-resistant bait stations only where needed. Not sure what you have? Check these 5 signs of a rodent problem.
Striped bark scorpions
The striped bark scorpion is the most common scorpion in Texas. It climbs walls and trees and often ends up in attics, according to Texas A&M AgriLife. That is why Keller homeowners find them upstairs, not only in the garage.
Our scorpion extermination pairs direct treatment with sealing cracks, weep holes, and gaps around doors. Learn why scorpions get more active in summer.
Spiders
Black widows and brown recluses hide in garages, closets, and stacked storage boxes. Both live across Texas. Our spider exterminator service treats their hiding spots and cuts down the insects they feed on.
Fire ants and grub worms
Fire ant mounds pop up in lawns and along sidewalks after rain. Grub worms eat grass roots and leave brown, dead patches behind. Clear mounds with fire ant treatment, and protect your turf with grub worm treatment.
Ants, roaches, and other household pests
Ants trail in from landscape beds. Roaches follow plumbing lines into kitchens and bathrooms. Our home pest control plan covers these everyday pests on every visit.
Bed bugs
Bed bugs ride home in luggage and spread between rooms fast. They need targeted work, not a general spray. Our bed bug treatment finds and clears them.

Keller pest control questions
How much does pest control cost in Keller, TX?
Quarterly general pest control usually runs about $100 to $200 per visit. The first service costs more, roughly $150 to $400, because it treats an existing problem. Termite, mosquito, and rodent work is quoted after your evaluation. See more answers in our pest control FAQs.
Does the City of Keller still spray for mosquitoes?
Only in limited cases. Under county guidance, the city sprays near a trap after three straight weeks of West Nile positives, or when a human case is reported nearby. Between those events, mosquito control on your property is up to you.
My Keller home was built in the 1990s. Is it still protected from termites?
Probably not by the original treatment. Texas A&M AgriLife says soil termiticides deter termites for several years, and the pre-slab treatment is a one-time chance. If your home has no active termite plan, schedule an inspection.
Why do I find scorpions upstairs or in the attic?
Striped bark scorpions climb. They reach the roof by tree limbs and walls, then slip in through attic vents and gaps. Trimming limbs back from the roofline and sealing upper gaps cuts off that route.
What should I do with kids and pets during a treatment?
Your technician will walk you through it before treating. We follow every product label and tell you how long to keep kids and pets off treated areas. You only need to be home when we are inside.
