Colleyville's construction stock spans decades and styles. Older pier-and-beam homes in Cheek-Sparger Road corridor, Big Bear Creek Greenbelt have different pest profiles than newer slab construction farther out in Tarrant County.
Recent neighborhood building activity and Colleyville ant pressure
New construction near established homes disturbs ant colonies and pushes displaced colonies toward adjacent properties. Recent construction in your neighborhood often correlates with new ant pressure in your own yard.
Property owners who get ahead of this pattern see substantially fewer recurring issues than those who don't.
Mid-summer AC failures with no electrical cause
Tawny crazy ants invading HVAC equipment shut down AC units mid-summer when ant bodies crowd contactor relays. The first symptom is usually unexplained AC shutoff that resolves when the unit cools, then recurs within days.
This is one of the harder issues to catch early without a trained eye on the property.
Argentine ant colony budding behavior
Spraying visible Argentine ant trails in kitchens causes colony budding — stressed populations split into multiple new colonies that re-establish 15-25 feet from the original location within 7-10 days. Bait-only treatment avoids the budding response entirely.
Field experience across Colleyville properties consistently confirms this pattern matters more than statewide averages suggest.
Garage slab expansion joints and ant trails
Slab expansion joints in garages provide ant trails from outdoor soil to interior wall voids. Sealing the visible joint with elastomeric caulk physically blocks the trail and forces ants to find alternate routes that may be less convenient.
Treatment plans that account for this specific factor outperform generic perimeter approaches in Tarrant County.
