Why Jarrell

Why Jarrell Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most

Building on open pasture rather than into an existing town produces a distinct pattern. There are no mature trees, no old landscaping and no established gardens, so a new house is the only shelter for a long way in any direction, and everything that lived in that pasture treats it accordingly.

The exposure works against you twice. Wind-driven rain reaches walls that nothing shades, sun bakes bare graded clay until it cracks away from the slab, and irrigated new lawn is the only reliably damp ground for a quarter mile, which is where the insects concentrate.

Common Questions

Jarrell Pest Questions, Answered

Fire ants took the new lawn in months.
Irrigated turf on pasture soil is the best ground available for miles, and the surrounding fields hold a large supply. Baiting the whole lawn while they forage works; treating visible mounds mostly moves the colony a few feet.
Cracks opening right at the slab edge.
With no shade at all, bare clay dries far harder here than on an established street. The soil pulls away from the slab and leaves a concealed route to the foundation, which is why termite inspection matters even on a two-year-old house.
Mice in the first autumn.
Pasture cover thins as it cools and your house is the only shelter in sight. Sealing garage thresholds, utility penetrations and weep screens before October is far more effective than trapping through the winter.
Wasps building on a brand new house.
Bare eaves, clean soffits and no competition make new construction attractive, and there is nowhere else for them to build. Knocking nests down early in spring, before the colony grows, prevents most of the summer problem. Checking the porch, the garage track and the back of the meter box every few weeks through April costs nothing and saves the awkward removal in July.
Mosquitoes on flat, dry-looking land.
Flat ground drains slowly, and the detention ponds serving these subdivisions hold water for days. Both are within easy flight range of the houses, so the source is usually shared rather than anything in your own garden.
