What To Know About Pests In Arlington
Arlington traps and tests its own mosquitoes during the warm months. When a sample comes back positive for West Nile, the city schedules nighttime ground spraying in that area and posts the dates on arlingtontx.gov.
The area around AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field and Six Flags Over Texas draws crowds of out-of-towners all year. That kind of hotel turnover means bed bugs pass through, so check the mattress seams after any trip.
When Pests Are Most Active In Arlington
- Spring
- Termite swarms show up after warm spring rain. Fire ant mounds return to lawns and ball fields.
- Summer
- Mosquito season peaks and the city starts West Nile spraying. Heat drives roaches and scorpions indoors.
- Fall
- Wasps get more aggressive defending late-season nests. Mice look for gaps in garage doors.
- Winter
- Cold snaps push rodents into attics. Ice storms can also break branches and open new gaps in rooflines.

Arlington Pest Control FAQs
Drop it in the quote form with any Arlington question we missed and we’ll answer it.
How do I find out when Arlington is spraying for mosquitoes?
The city posts West Nile spraying dates and maps on arlingtontx.gov and its social media. Spraying happens at night in the affected area.
Bring pets in and close windows on those nights. The spray targets adult mosquitoes and breaks down quickly.
Do Arlington foundation cracks cause termite problems?
They can. Clay soil here shrinks in drought and swells after rain, and that movement opens cracks in slabs.
Subterranean termites use those cracks to reach wood without leaving visible tubes. Get an inspection after any foundation repair.
Are scorpions a problem in Arlington?
In some areas, yes. Striped bark scorpions turn up near open land and rock landscaping in the south and west.
Seal weep holes and gaps under doors, and keep rock and woodpiles away from the house.
Why do fire ants build mounds in my AC unit?
They’re drawn to the electrical fields and warmth. A colony can short out the contactor and leave you without cooling in July.
Bait the yard and have the AC tech clear the unit. A pro can treat around it safely.
Can my kids play in the yard after a treatment?
After liquid treatments dry, yes, usually within a few hours. Granular fire ant bait needs to be left alone until ants carry it off.
Ask the tech to mark treated zones so everyone knows where to stay off.
