Most Common Pests in Midland, TX
Did you know that the 5 most searched pests in Midland are mosquitos, termites, bed bugs, flies, and fleas?
That’s because these pests are not only common in the Petroplex area, but they can also be very destructive and dangerous.
In Midland, Texas, residents see a variety of different pests. Ants are one of the most common pests, particularly fire ants, acrobat ants, harvester ants, and carpenter ants.
Out of all these, fire ants and carpenter ants are the most unpleasant. Fire ants are commonly found in mounds in the grass or in the sidewalk. Their bites produce an unpleasant burning sensation and red bumps, so it’s best to avoid them.
Carpenter ants, on the other hand, can cause serious property damage. These pesky creatures tunnel their way through wood using their large mandibles, and they can go undetected in walls for up to eight years. It’s important to take carpenter ant infestations seriously.
In addition to ants, black widow spiders are also extremely common in Midland. Black widows hide in dark, unbothered places such as eaves, wood piles, unused shoes, children’s toys, and patio furniture. These spiders can be identified by the trademark red markings on their abdomens. Black widows are poisonous, so it’s important to seek medical care if bitten.
However, it’s best to avoid them in the first place. If you see black widows or ants on your property, call Fox Pest Control immediately for professional and prompt service.
These pests are not only a nuisance but some can also:
- Carry dangerous diseases that can put your family’s health at risk.
- Cause expensive damage to your home or business.
- Bite, sting, or otherwise cause pain and discomfort.
- Prevent you from enjoying your time outdoors with your family and friends.
Fortunately, Fox Pest Control can help combat these pests that are plaguing Midland residents. We also offer a variety of services that are designed to target specific pests, so you can rest assured knowing that your family and home are protected. For example, if you’re looking for rodent control or termite treatment, we can help.
So, if you’re wondering, “What is the best pest control company near me?”, in order to get rid of one or more of these pests, then you’re in the right place!
Our Midland pest control experts can offer same-day* service and will work with you to create a customized pest control plan that fits your specific needs and budget. So call us today at (432) 653-5264 or email us and let us help you take back your home from those pesky pests!

Whatever the pest problem you might have in Midland, you came to the right place.
Fox Pest Control is experienced at combating whatever Midland pest might be bothering you.
Signs of a Pest Infestation
You might already know you have a pest problem. But here are a couple of the most common signs a pest control extermination looks for in Midland.
- You can see the pest. The most common reason people discover they have a pest problem in Midland is simply by observing it. It could be a mouse in your house, cockroaches skittering when you turn on the lights, or a swarm of hornets around a nest. In any case, it’s time to get rid of pests!
- Signs of activity. Pests are adept at hiding from us, so you won’t always spot them. Instead, you might notice signs of their presence such as rodent droppings or small piles of “saw dust”, resulting from termite or carpenter ant activity.

What You Need to Know About Midland Pests
- Pests come in a large variety, such as:
- Pests find their way in through any open, unsealed space. This includes cracks in the wood and gaps in the window or old weather stripping. It’s important to get help from a professional exterminator because, depending on the species, they may create nests, contaminate food and water in your kitchen and bathroom, or cause damage to the inside of walls, electrical wiring, or other parts of the house.
- While some pests can cause home damage, many carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans. You must control mosquitoes and rodents as they are the most notorious for this.
- Spiders and wasps are famous for their venomous bite and painful sting. Extreme cases of spider bites or wasp stings can cause life-threatening reactions and hospitalization.
- In addition to mosquitoes, lots of bugs cause itching. This includes bed bugs. If you have bed bugs, you should contact a bed bug exterminator.
Helpful Midland Pest Prevention Tips
- Seal cracks to prevent intrusion.
- Clean baseboards, cabinets, and countertops regularly.
- Store all food in airtight containers.
- Never leave food (including pet food) outside.
- Clear all debris, tools, and garbage.

FAQs About Pest Control in Midland
Can I take care of the pests on my own?
There are many pests that are nearly impossible to eliminate without the help of a professional pest control technician. Termites, ants, ticks, fleas, carpenter ants, and bed bugs are all among the pests that are extremely difficult and time-consuming to root out of a home without the proper extermination knowledge, equipment, and experience.
Why do I need a pest control service?
Extermination professionals have the proper training and certification to get rid of pests that spread diseases, cause home damage, and cause emotional distress, including mosquitoes, ticks, termites, carpenter ants, cockroaches, and bed bugs.
Most Midland pest problems cannot be thoroughly controlled without years of pest control experience. The products available for purchase at your local hardware store just aren’t as effective as our integrated pest management techniques that safely use professional products and also take pest behavior into account.
Are pesticides dangerous for the environment?
Responsible companies like Fox Pest Control use products that are proven to get rid of pests while also being environmentally responsible.
Are pesticides illegal?
Pesticides that are reviewed and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are not illegal as long as they are used according to the label instructions.
Are Fox’s products safe for families, children, and pets?
Our environmentally friendly products are uniquely designed to get rid of pests, while also allowing you to enjoy the comfort and safety of your home. Our products are designed to be child and pet friendly.
What products does Fox use?
We combine modern Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques with a variety of environmentally responsible products. Since each situation — and each pest — is different, we make adjustments accordingly. Speak to our customer service representatives for a list of products used during your service call.
How long do your products work?
For up to three months after the application, any bugs, insects, or other pests that come across the area will be exterminated. You can rest easy knowing we are controlling the bugs so you can focus on what matters most to you.
Do your technicians need to come inside my house for each application?
During your first service for our standard Home Protection Plan (HPP), we treat the inside of your home to help root out any pests inside. We won’t need to treat the inside of your home again unless you specifically request an inside service.
Do you offer free treatments between services if pest activity comes back?
Yes. Each Home Protection Plan (HPP) comes with our Fox Money-Back Guarantee. Call our customer service representatives at (432) 653-5264 to let us know if pests come back between your regular services, and we will come back to treat the pests again, free of charge.
How often do you come to treat my house?
For the standard Home Protection Plan, we plan to service the outside of your Midland home on a seasonal basis (roughly once every three months).
Do I need to be home in order for you to service my house?
As long as our technicians have full access to your front and back yard, no one needs to be at home if we are doing a standard pest control treatment of the home’s exterior. However, if you specifically request a treatment of the interior of your home, an adult must be present before our technician can enter.
When should I start pest control?
Now is the best time to consider hiring Fox Pest Control to exterminate pests, because it’s not a question of IF, but WHEN the pests will invade the wall voids, the space inside soffits or eaves, gutters, cracks in the siding, and eventually make their way to the house.
What is the benefit of a pest control service in Midland?
Professional Midland pest control services can save both time and money. Since do-it-yourself methods aren’t effective over the long term, a homeowner can spend endless amounts of time using ineffective methods. Pests like termites and carpenter ants can cause hundreds of thousands of dollars in home repair costs that are not covered by insurance.
Why does cleaning help prevent pests?
As long as the home has food, water, and shelter, pests are just as attracted to a clean home as they are to a dirty one. When insects have infested a house, cleaning and thorough sanitation techniques root them out of their hiding places and destroy their eggs. However, cleaning inside doesn’t necessarily stop the bugs on the outside from thinking about wanting to come in. That’s where Fox Pest Control can really help.
Which pests can spread diseases?
Rodents, mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas can spread nasty diseases including West Nile virus, babesiosis, rickettsiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Fever, Typhus, the bubonic plague, Tularemia, Malaria, and much more.
Which pests are the most dangerous?
Many people in Midland are stung by insects like wasps every year. Some people are allergic to these stings. Because their stinger isn’t barbed, wasps, bumblebees, and some carpenter bees are capable of stinging multiple times.
Do pest control treatments harm the environment?
All our products are formulated and proven by the EPA to be the environmentally responsible choice for effective pest control.
Does Fox use organic pest control treatments in Midland?
Fox offers organic pest treatment products upon customer request. Please speak with our customer service representatives for further details.
Which pest is the hardest to get rid of?
There are several pests that are difficult to exterminate and control without professional help because they hide effectively, reproduce quickly, and are extremely hardy. Cockroaches, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, and termites are among the most difficult pests to eradicate.
Why do pests come back every year? How do insects survive the winter?
Many insects find a warm place to hide, such as the wall voids of your house. They go into a type of hibernation called diapause until spring.
Other insects lay eggs that survive the winter and hatch when the weather warms.
Why do I need pest treatments from Fox Pest Control during the winter?
Pests survive the winter by finding a hiding place in your house or by laying eggs that withstand the cold.
At any time during the cold months, the area could suddenly warm up, which will activate the pests. Our winter treatments will catch and exterminate these pests before they can become a problem again in the spring.
What sorts of pests are active during the winter? What problems do they cause?
Mice and rat problems reach their peak during the coldest months of the year, which is another reason to treat your Midland home during the winter. Rats and mice can sometimes bring other pests to your home, even during the winter, including ticks and fleas.
