Dripping Springs features a humid subtropical climate, with average summer highs in the low 90s °F and winter lows in the mid-40s. Annual rainfall averages 35 inches, with spring and early summer being the wettest periods. Humidity and warm temperatures foster high activity for mosquitoes, ants, and termites, especially after rains.
Proximity to Onion Creek and the area's rocky, wooded landscape create habitats for pests like scorpions, rodents, and carpenter ants. The abundance of limestone and older wooden structures means termite activity is common. Dense native vegetation and intermittent streams provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes and occasional wildlife intrusions.
Warming temperatures and increased rainfall drive ant and termite swarms, while scorpions emerge from winter hiding. Mosquito breeding surges near Onion Creek and in shaded areas.
Mosquito activity peaks after summer storms, and scorpions, spiders, and rodents seek cooler shelter indoors as temperatures climb.
Rodents begin to seek warmth indoors, and spider sightings increase in garages and sheds. Ants remain active until the first cold snap.
Cooler weather drives rodents indoors, while some spiders and insects overwinter in sheltered locations. Pest activity is generally lower but vigilance is needed indoors.

Fix leaky faucets. Make sure water drains away from your foundation. Use dehumidifiers in damp basements or crawl spaces. With Dripping Springs’s waterways nearby, moisture control is extra important. Check sprinkler systems often to stop standing water near your Dripping Springs home's foundation.
Trim tree branches and shrubs at least 18 inches from your home. Clear leaf litter, mulch buildup near foundations, and dead wood from your yard. Keep firewood at least 20 feet away and off the ground. Good yard care around Hays County homes cuts down hiding spots for spiders, ants, and rodents.
Check your Dripping Springs home for gaps around pipes, foundation cracks, torn screens, and spaces under doors. Even tiny openings let in insects and mice. Seal them with weatherstripping, door sweeps, caulk, and steel wool. Pay close attention to where utilities enter the building and around HVAC units.
