Highland Village, Texas is a lakeside suburb nestled along the southern shores of Lewisville Lake in Denton County. The city is known for its extensive parks system, including Doubletree Ranch Park and its lakeside walking trails, as well as hosting the Inland Trail and the Highland Village Farmers Market. The area has grown steadily since its incorporation in 1963, attracting families and professionals drawn to its scenic waterfront and proximity to Dallas-Fort Worth.
Highland Village is situated within the Cross Timbers ecological region, featuring gently rolling terrain and clayey, well-draining soils that support oak and pecan woodlands. Its location on the edge of Lewisville Lake and nearby Hickory Creek creates a humid microclimate that fosters diverse plant and animal life. The combination of wooded areas, water bodies, and suburban development provides ideal habitats for a variety of urban and semi-aquatic pests.
Upscale residential subdivision with mature trees and proximity to Doubletree Ranch Park.
Mosquitoes and ticks are common due to dense tree cover and nearby water features.
Family-oriented area located near Briarhill Middle School and several open green spaces.
Ants and occasional rodent issues, especially near greenbelts.
Neighborhoods bordering Lewisville Lake with scenic views and easy lake access.
Mosquitoes, spiders, and occasional snakes due to proximity to water and riparian zones.
Large master-planned community with trails and private parks along the lake.
Termites and carpenter ants in wooded lots, plus seasonal wasp activity.
What our licensed technicians see on the ground in Denton.
Termite pressure in Highland Village reflects the region's humid subtropical climate and long warm season. Homes built on concrete slabs — particularly in neighborhoods like Castlewood — provide subterranean colonies hidden access through plumbing penetrations and expansion joints. Mature tree canopies near Doubletree Ranch Park contribute to elevated soil moisture that accelerates colony growth. Romex certified applicators conduct annual monitoring with non-invasive bait stations and thermal imaging, catching active tubes before structural damage reaches the sills or sub-floor. Warranty-backed liquid treatments from Termidor or Taurus SC seal the perimeter for up to ten years.
Prevention tip: Schedule an annual professional termite inspection; WDO damage in Highland Village typically goes undetected for 3–5 years before visible signs appear.
Denton 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 Briarhill Estates 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: Use a dunk-style larvicide (Bti) in any decorative pond, rain barrel, or low spot that can't be drained within a week.
Ant diversity is high in Highland Village: we routinely identify fire ants, sugar ants (odorous house ants), rover ants, acrobat ants, and carpenter ants on a single property. Castlewood is a textbook case — mosquitoes and ticks are common due to dense tree cover and nearby water features. Near Doubletree Ranch Park, crazy ants have been documented on a few properties, requiring specialized bait protocols. Romex applicators never recommend over-the-counter aerosols for trails because they scatter satellite colonies and make the problem worse.
Prevention tip: Treat your lawn with a broadcast fire ant bait in spring; a single treatment can protect an acre for the entire season.
The American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) is the common "water bug" homeowners in Highland Village encounter coming out of drains and sewer lines. Older homes in Castlewood, where mosquitoes and ticks are common due to dense tree cover and nearby water features., have more frequent sightings. Restaurants and food service near Doubletree Ranch Park 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.

Highland Village experiences a humid subtropical climate with hot summers (average highs in the low 90s °F) and mild winters. Annual rainfall averages around 38 inches, with spring and early summer being the wettest periods. Warm temperatures and humidity create favorable conditions for mosquitoes, ants, and other moisture-loving pests.
The city's location alongside Lewisville Lake and its extensive wooded areas make it prone to high mosquito activity, especially in the warmer months. Local clay soils can retain moisture, supporting ant colonies and attracting subterranean termites. The mix of mature trees, suburban lawns, and waterfront properties results in a diverse array of pest habitats, from ticks in shaded parks to wasps nesting in backyard eaves.
Spring rains and warming temperatures around Lewisville Lake cause mosquito populations to surge, while termites begin swarming and ants invade homes. This is a critical time for preventative pest control.
Hot, humid weather drives high mosquito and tick activity, especially in lakeside and park-adjacent neighborhoods. Wasp nests become more active near homes and playgrounds.
As temperatures cool, rodents seek shelter indoors and spiders are commonly seen migrating to homes from wooded areas. Ant activity may spike after autumn rains.
Pest activity slows, but rodents remain a concern as they seek warmth inside homes. Ants may still appear during mild winter spells.
Pro Tip: Highland Village homeowners save up to 40% with year-round protection plans that proactively treat for seasonal pests before they become infestations.
