Pest control in Georgetown.
Two Georgetowns, one pest problem each. Sun City was cleared out of limestone, which is why the scorpion calls start every spring. Out on the big lots in Berry Creek and Serenada, yards run into pasture, so wasps take the eaves and rodents come in from the field each fall.

Why pests behave differently here.
The limestone bluffs along the San Gabriel and the cedar breaks west of town make Georgetown solid scorpion country. Sun City in particular sits on cleared limestone with heavy landscaping, which is close to ideal scorpion habitat, and the calls spike every spring.
On the larger lots: Berry Creek, Cimarron Hills, Serenada, yards often border pasture or greenbelt. That edge is where wasps nest under eaves, ticks wait in tall grass, and rodents move in from the field as the weather turns.

When each pest peaks in Georgetown.
Where the Hill Country meets the prairie, the San Gabriel keeps mosquitoes fed, Sun City's limestone feeds scorpions, and the field edges send rodents indoors every fall. Georgetown's pest year, in one chart.

A relative pattern, not a count, built from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension seasonal guidance and our own service calls around Georgetown. The $66/mo general pest plan covers ants, roaches, scorpions, spiders, wasps and rodents; mosquitoes, fleas, ticks and moles are add-ons. Honey bee swarms are never exterminated: we refer them to a local beekeeper. Carpenter bees we treat directly.

Every Georgetown visit
The full TriBarrier™, every time.
Three overlapping layers, from the foundation out to the property line. Not a hurried spray along the baseboards. Two of the three are the layers your cheaper quote is quietly leaving out.
Foundation barrier
Three feet up the wall and three feet out from it, the whole way around the house, plus windows, doors, garage and roofline. That band is the route pests actually take to get inside.
Measured with a tape, not eyeballed
Granular yard moat
A ring of granular treatment across the lawn that wakes back up every time you water or it rains. Your sprinklers are on our payroll now.
Skipped by most companies. Granular costs money.
Property line
A full 360-degree spray along the property line, so pests get turned back at the border instead of at your back door.
Skipped by most companies. Nobody audits a lawn.
Everybody in this business says three feet up and three feet out. We are the ones who actually bring a tape measure, and every Georgetown visit gets all three layers. There is no cheaper Bastion tier where we quietly drop a layer, because free re-treatments only work if the treatment was real the first time. That is the difference you are paying for.
They come back? So do we, free.
Free re-treatments between scheduled visits on any recurring plan. We keep our routes tight around Georgetown, so when you call we can actually get back out.

Georgetown pest questions, answered.
When do scorpions show up in Sun City?
The calls start every spring and peak June through August. Sun City sits on cleared limestone with heavy landscaping, which is close to ideal habitat for striped bark scorpions. They come indoors hunting moisture in the hottest weeks, so early summer is the time to have the perimeter treated.
When is wasp season in Georgetown?
Nests start small in spring, but colonies hit full size in August and September, which is when eave and soffit nests get dangerous on the large lots around Berry Creek and Cimarron Hills. Knock down golf-ball-size starter nests in April, or have us do it, and you skip the September problem.
What month are pests worst in Georgetown?
August and September. Wasps and mosquitoes peak together, scorpions are still running, and spiders start their fall push. On the field-backed lots, rodents follow as soon as October turns cold. The chart above shows the whole sequence.
When do rodents come in from the fields around Georgetown?
The first cold snap, usually October, and pressure peaks November through January. Yards that border pasture or greenbelt on the Serenada and Berry Creek side see it first. Seal in early fall and the winter stays quiet.
