Why Does Arlington, Texas Need Professional Pest Control?
Population: ~394,266 · Tarrant County
Arlington, Texas is a vibrant city located between Dallas and Fort Worth, known for being home to the University of Texas at Arlington and the world-famous AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. The city features notable attractions such as the Six Flags Over Texas amusement park and River Legacy Parks along the Trinity River. Arlington is also recognized for its diverse economy, with major employers including General Motors and Texas Health Resources.
Arlington sits on gently rolling terrain within the Cross Timbers ecological region, featuring clay and loam soils that support native oak and pecan trees. The city is bisected by the West Fork of the Trinity River and is near Lake Arlington, which influences local moisture levels and pest habitats. Its elevation ranges from about 500 to 700 feet, providing drainage patterns that create ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other water-loving pests.

Arlington Pest Pressures: A Closer Look
What our licensed technicians see on the ground in Tarrant County.
Termites in Tarrant County
Subterranean termites are the dominant species targeting homes throughout Arlington and Tarrant County. Older properties in Dalworthington Gardens are especially vulnerable, where soil moisture and wood-to-ground contact create ideal conditions for Eastern subterranean colonies. Romex inspectors have identified active infestations within a few miles of AT&T Stadium, typically in homes built before 2000 with untreated crawl spaces or slab cracks. Swarmer flights in March through May provide the clearest early warning. We use Termidor HE liquid treatments and Sentricon bait stations to protect the entire structure rather than spot-treating visible damage.
Prevention tip: Schedule an annual professional termite inspection; WDO damage in Arlington typically goes undetected for 3–5 years before visible signs appear.
Mosquitoes in Tarrant County
Tarrant County ranks among the most mosquito-pressured areas in the region, thanks to the humid subtropical climate and dense tree canopy that blocks drying airflow after storms. Residents in Downtown Arlington frequently cite mosquito bites when they request service, especially during morning and evening hours. Vector-borne disease surveillance has confirmed West Nile and rarely EEE in Texas counties, making residual barrier treatments more than a comfort issue. Romex technicians map breeding sites with a property walk before any application.
Prevention tip: Clean gutters at least twice per year; clogged gutters are the #1 overlooked breeding site we find in Arlington yards.
Ants in Tarrant County
Red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) are the dominant outdoor ant species in Tarrant County, forming visible mounds after every significant rain. Turfgrass areas near AT&T Stadium can host 50+ mounds per acre during wet springs. Indoors, the picture shifts: odorous house ants, acrobat ants, and — in older wood-framed homes — carpenter ants account for most kitchen and bathroom trails. Dalworthington Gardens reports trend heavily toward fire ants on the outside and odorous house ants on the interior. Our treatment uses Top Choice fipronil granules outside for season-long fire ant control, plus non-repellent Termidor SC band applications on entry points.
Prevention tip: Seal gaps around exterior pipe penetrations and weather-stripping; most indoor ant trails originate at these entry points.
Cockroaches in Tarrant County
The American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) is the common "water bug" homeowners in Arlington encounter coming out of drains and sewer lines. Older homes in Dalworthington Gardens, where ticks and mosquitoes thrive due to dense vegetation and proximity to creeks., have more frequent sightings. Restaurants and food service near AT&T Stadium carry higher overall roach pressure due to dumpster areas. Romex pairs IGR (insect growth regulator) treatments in basements and crawl spaces with Advion gel bait placements in kitchens to break the reproductive cycle.
Prevention tip: Inspect any secondhand appliance (especially microwaves, toaster ovens, mini fridges) before bringing it indoors — German cockroaches hitchhike inside.

Arlington Climate & Pest Activity
Local Climate Impact
Arlington has a humid subtropical climate with hot summers averaging 95°F in July and mild winters around 35°F in January. Annual rainfall averages about 38 inches, with high humidity levels in spring and early summer. These conditions promote rapid insect breeding, especially for pests like mosquitoes and ants.
Why Arlington Faces Unique Pest Pressures
The Trinity River and Lake Arlington create abundant standing water, fueling large mosquito populations, especially after heavy rains. Clay-heavy soils and mature vegetation provide shelter for ants, termites, and rodents. Urban growth and aging infrastructure also contribute to pest issues in both residential and commercial areas.
Arlington Seasonal Pest Calendar
Spring (Mar-May)
Frequent rains and warming temperatures around River Legacy Parks and Lake Arlington spur mosquito hatching and termite swarms. Ants become active as soil moisture increases.
Summer (Jun-Aug)
High heat and humidity drive mosquito and fire ant populations, especially near water and irrigated lawns. Roaches seek cool, damp indoor spaces.
Fall (Sep-Nov)
Rodents and insects seek shelter indoors as temperatures cool, especially near the downtown and older neighborhoods. Spiders become more visible.
Winter (Dec-Feb)
Pest activity declines but rodents and cockroaches remain a concern in homes and businesses, particularly in areas with aging infrastructure.
Pro Tip: Arlington homeowners save up to 40% with year-round protection plans that proactively treat for seasonal pests before they become infestations.

Always polite, knowledgeable and respectful. Michael is a five star employee. Very thorough and quick to take care of my issues. With that said ROMEX as a company goes down to four stars in my book at this point because it took two weeks to get somebody out to retreat for ants in my house, not acceptable! I will give them another chance since I have been with them for several years and this is the first time I’ve had a problem.
