Frequently asked questions
Are scorpions common in Lubbock, TX?
Yes — striped bark scorpions are common in Lubbock and throughout West Texas. They're attracted to cool, dark spaces and enter homes through gaps around pipes, doors, and foundations. Regular exterior perimeter treatment significantly reduces scorpion intrusion. They're painful but rarely dangerous to healthy adults.
Does Lubbock have termites?
Yes — subterranean termites are present in Lubbock, though the dry West Texas climate means they're less prevalent than in East Texas or the Gulf Coast. They're still a real risk, particularly in older homes and areas with irrigation. Annual termite inspections are worthwhile, especially before buying a home.
What pests are most common in Lubbock homes?
The most common pest calls in Lubbock are for scorpions, cockroaches (particularly German and American roaches), ants (fire ants outdoors, odorous house ants indoors), spiders, and occasional termite issues. Rodent activity (mice and rats) increases in fall as temperatures drop.
