Aubrey calls itself the "Horse Capital of Texas," and you can see why: horse farms and pastures still surround town, even as new neighborhoods fill in along US 377 and FM 428. That mix of barns, pasture and brand-new homes shapes the pests we see. Fleas and ticks come in from tall grass and animals. Rats and mice live in feed rooms and hay. Fire ants, scorpions and field mice are pushed into new neighborhoods as land is cleared. Lake Ray Roberts to the north adds mosquitoes. Around the Block Pest Control is a family-owned, Christian-owned company that has served North Texas families since 2012. We come west from our McKinney office on US 380 to reach Aubrey.

Aubrey areas we serve
Sandbrock Ranch: A large master-planned community with ponds, trails and active building. Fire ants, crickets, field mice and mosquitoes are the main pressures.
Silverado (Aubrey) and the newer neighborhoods off FM 428 and US 377: Young landscaping and rock beds. Scorpions and fire ants move in from surrounding fields.
Horse farms and ranches around town: Feed, hay and stalls attract rats and mice, and pastures bring fleas and ticks onto pets and into homes.
Older homes near downtown Aubrey: Mature trees and older wood. We look closely for termites and roof rats.
Homes toward Lake Ray Roberts and the Elm Fork bottoms: Woods, water and brush mean mosquitoes, ticks and spiders.
Fleas, ticks and life with animals
In horse country, pets and livestock spend a lot of time in pasture and tall grass, and fleas and ticks hitch a ride home. A single flea problem can spread from the yard to the carpet in a couple of weeks. We treat the shady, protected areas in the yard where fleas and ticks live, and when needed, the inside of the home. We work alongside your vet's on-animal treatments, because treating the yard and the animal together is what actually breaks the cycle. Learn more on our flea and tick control page.
Aubrey pests by season
Spring: Ticks become active, fire ant mounds rebuild, and termites swarm after warm rain.
Summer: Fleas peak in warm, humid weather. Mosquitoes breed near ponds and the lake, and scorpions come out at night.
Fall: Rats and mice head for barns, garages and attics as temperatures drop.
Winter: Rodents stay active in outbuildings and attics. It's a good season for exclusion work.
