Introduction to Pest Threats in Austin

Understanding pest trends in Austin is crucial for effective management. Our Austin Pest Threat Dashboard provides real-time insights into pest activity, helping homeowners and businesses stay informed and prepared.

Real Pest Data for Austin, Not Guesswork

Most pest control websites provide generic advice like "scorpions are common in Austin" or "mosquitoes are a problem in summer." While true, these statements lack specificity. Our dashboard changes that by offering real-time data on pest trends, hotspots, and treatment counts.

Our Austin Pest Threat Dashboard utilizes data from our FieldRoutes service management platform, updated weekly. This ensures our insights are based on actual work orders rather than estimates or national averages.

Dashboard Features

Treatment Volume by Pest Category

• General Pest Control: The highest volume category, essential for residential protection.
• Termites: High activity due to Central Texas's conducive climate.
• Mosquitoes: Significant demand near water bodies like Lady Bird Lake.
• Ants and Cockroaches: Increasing with warmer temperatures.
• Bed Bugs: Rising due to increased travel and housing turnover.
• Scorpions: Steady calls, especially in western Travis County.

Trend Direction

Our dashboard indicates whether pest categories are increasing, decreasing, or stable compared to previous periods, offering a clear view of pest dynamics.

Specialized vs. General Services

We differentiate between pests requiring specialized protocols (e.g., termites, mosquitoes) and those covered by general pest control.
