Frisco keeps building, and every new phase turns over soil that fire ants, scorpions, crickets and field mice already lived in. When the bulldozers move in, those pests move into the finished homes next door. Around the Block Pest Control is a family-owned company, and we've helped North Texas families with exactly this since 2012. We're based in McKinney, a short drive west on SH 121 to Frisco.

Pest pressure across Frisco
Starwood: This established, gated community has mature landscaping. Irrigated beds and stone features give ants, spiders and the occasional scorpion places to hide.
Newman Village: Front porches, alleys and parks on the north side of town. Alley-loaded garages are a common entry point for crickets and mice in the fall.
Phillips Creek Ranch: This west Frisco community has ponds, trails and many recent builds. Expect mosquitoes near the water and fire ants on new sod.
Around PGA Frisco and the Fields development: Large-scale construction on former ranch land. Homes nearby feel the most pressure from displaced field mice, fire ants and scorpions.
Near The Star and Frisco Square: Dense restaurants, retail and apartments mean ongoing commercial work focused on cockroaches and rodents.
Frisco pests by season
Spring. Fire ant mounds pop up in new sod after the first rains. Termites swarm too, and new construction isn't immune. Builder pretreatments don't last forever.
Summer. Scorpions come out at night and move along block walls and garage thresholds. Retention ponds and irrigation runoff keep mosquitoes going.
Fall. Crickets crowd the lights by your doors, and field mice from nearby construction sites look for a warm garage.
Winter. It's a good time to seal weep holes, door sweeps and utility penetrations before scorpion and ant season comes back.

Frisco pest control FAQ
I just moved into a new Frisco home. Why am I seeing scorpions? Construction displaces scorpions that were already living on the land. We treat the perimeter, garage and attic access points, and we show you which gaps to seal.
Didn't my builder pretreat for termites? Most did, but pretreatments wear off and landscaping can create gaps in them. A free inspection tells you where you stand.
Can you keep fire ants out of my new sod? Yes. Our quarterly plan includes yard and perimeter treatments that keep mounds down.
Do you serve all of Frisco? Yes, from Starwood and Newman Village to Phillips Creek Ranch and the PGA Frisco area. We also serve Prosper, Plano, Allen and McKinney.
What if pests come back between visits? On our quarterly plan, re-treatments are free.
