Serving a wide area
South Plains Pest Control is based in Lubbock and works with both residential and commercial property owners in Amarillo, throughout West Texas, and across the South Plains area.
The unique climate and geography of the South Plains region present distinct pest control challenges. Our semi-arid climate, low rainfall, and fluctuations in temperature influence pest activity throughout the year, creating distinct seasonal patterns. During the warm months, pests like mosquitoes, ants, and flies are especially prevalent due to the heat and sporadic moisture. Conversely, rodents and other pests seek refuge indoors as temperatures drop, making fall and winter a busy season for our professional team.
This variability demands adaptable pest control strategies. For example, moisture control becomes critical during wet periods, whereas cold-weather pest prevention hinges on sealing entry points and removing potential nesting sites. Pest management in our home region isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” solution—it calls for localized knowledge and a thorough understanding of how the climate interacts with pest life cycles.

Common Pests in the South Plains
The South Plains hosts several pests that thrive in its unique environment. Termites, for instance, pose a significant threat due to their ability to cause structural damage to homes and businesses. Drywood and subterranean termites are especially active here, making regular inspections a necessity. Additionally, ants—including invasive fire ants common to Texas soils—can quickly form colonies in yards, walls, and foundations.
Mosquitoes are another concern, especially in areas with stagnant water after summer rains. Rodents represent a year-round challenge. Without proper deterrents, rats and mice can damage your wiring, contaminate your food, and pose health risks.
Having grown up in this area, the team at South Plains Pest Control understands every aspect of the environment, from the types of soil pests prefer to the seasonal behaviors of regional species. This local knowledge means our treatments are targeted, effective, and designed to last.
