Killeen Pest Pressure

The hot and humid summers in Killeen, TX, drive many pests inside homes. Species of ants such as carpenter and fire ants are common in and around local houses. Carpenter ants create nest cavities in wooden structures and cause a considerable amount of damage to doors, window frames, and walls. Fire ants construct their mounds in yards. When their colonies are disturbed, the pests quickly become aggressive and sting people several times. Since they're venomous, fire ant stings are very painful.

Bed bugs are another major problem in Killeen. These pests hide in cracks in headboards and mattress seams during the day and come out during the night to feed on sleeping humans. They often leave behind rashes of tiny red bumps on their victims' skin, and their presence often causes psychological distress.
