Schertz commercial properties juggle pest control with sanitation inspections, employee safety, and customer experience. The stakes differ from residential.
How new construction displaces ant colonies
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.
Routine inspection that explicitly checks this saves the cost of major remediation later.
Why the curb strip holds the most mounds
Fire ant colonies concentrate where automatic irrigation maintains consistent soil moisture. The maintained turf strip between sidewalk and curb is the densest mound zone on most Guadalupe County properties — sometimes 6-8 mounds in a 40-foot stretch.
Industry guidance for Schertz-area conditions weights this factor higher than national pest control standards typically do.
Pyramid ants in Schertz lawns
Pyramid ants in lawns are sometimes mistaken for fire ants but have different behavior — they're predators of fire ants and beneficial in many situations. Identifying which species you have before treatment can change whether treatment is needed at all.
Routine inspection that explicitly checks this saves the cost of major remediation later.
Food storage and manufacturing pest concerns
Commercial loading docks in industrial corridors see ant infestations from shipped pallets and storage units. Quarantine inspection of incoming materials prevents pest establishment in food storage and manufacturing environments.
Industry guidance for Schertz-area conditions weights this factor higher than national pest control standards typically do.
