Spotting a spider indoors usually triggers the same reaction every time: surprise, discomfort, and a lot of questions. Most homeowners expect spiders to be a summer issue, tied to warm weather and open doors. In North Texas, late winter often brings just as many spider sightings, sometimes more. That timing throws people off, but it lines up with how spiders actually behave. Spiders follow food and shelter. When outdoor conditions shift, their environment shifts with it. Late

If Texas weather feels unpredictable, pests feel it even more. One week brings warm afternoons and open windows. A few days later, temperatures drop fast. That constant back-and-forth affects what pests do next — and where they go. When conditions outside shift quickly, insects and rodents start moving. Homes often become the safest place they can find. This pattern shows up every winter in North Texas, especially around January and February. Homeowners start noticing bugs in

Ants tend to get labeled as a summer problem. Backyard cookouts, sticky counters, warm weather. So when ants appear during winter, it often catches homeowners off guard. What surprises people is how active ant colonies remain all year. Cold weather changes how ants move, not whether they stay alive. When temperatures drop, colonies shift closer to warmth, moisture, and steady food sources. Homes offer all three. That shift often becomes noticeable in late winter, especially a

When spring pests show up inside North Texas homes, the problem rarely starts indoors. In most cases, ants, roaches, spiders, and rodents have been living just outside the home for months. By the time activity becomes obvious, pests already know where to enter and where conditions suit them best. Winter yard work is one of the most effective and least disruptive ways to prevent those problems before they begin. In Dallas, Plano, and Frisco, mild winters allow many pests to re

Most pest problems do not start with a sudden invasion. They build quietly, often during winter, when activity is easier to miss and homeowners assume the risk is low. In North Texas, that assumption causes more spring infestations than almost anything else. January is one of the most valuable months for pest prevention because it slows everything down. Fewer bugs are visible, routines are calmer, and homeowners are more likely to notice subtle changes inside their homes. Thi

The holidays leave behind more than decorations and leftovers. They also push homeowners into parts of the house that rarely get attention the rest of the year — garages, attics, storage closets, and crawl-adjacent spaces. For homeowners across North Texas, that timing matters more than most people realize. Winter in North Texas does not shut pests down. It changes their behavior. Rodents look for warmth. Roaches move closer to interior walls. Ant colonies shift their activit

The holidays fill your home with warmth, food, and activity, which also attracts pests looking for shelter. Decorations, leftovers, and extra clutter create dozens of new hiding spots for insects and rodents trying to ride out the cold. Most of the time, they move in quietly and stay well into the new year. Here are the five places pests are most likely to take advantage of during the holidays and what you can do to stay ahead of them. 1. Attics and Storage Areas When you pul

When the temperature drops, many homeowners assume pest season is finally over. In reality, cooler weather only changes where pests spend their time. Texas winters rarely stay cold long enough to eliminate insects or rodents, so instead of dying off, they simply move indoors. Winter pest activity is quieter because it happens behind walls, in attics, and around utility spaces where warmth and moisture remain constant. Understanding what pests actually do this time of year hel

When temperatures dip in October, homes across North Texas start drawing in some truly persistent houseguests (and we’re not talking about trick or treaters). Overwintering insects slip through gaps along rooflines, soffits, and siding, then tuck into attics and walls for the season. Unlike summer pests that make a grand entrance, these insects arrive quietly and stay hidden. Once the first warm stretch of spring hits, they can appear all at once — often through vents, light
