Lucas is country living a short drive from everything. Homes sit on an acre or more, many with barns, ponds, pastures or a view of Lavon Lake. With that much open land, pests don't stay at the property line. Mosquitoes breed in stock ponds and lake coves. Ticks wait in tall grass. Mice and rats move from hay barns to garages. Scorpions shelter in stone walls and landscape rock. Around the Block Pest Control is a family-owned company, and we've served Collin County since 2012. Our McKinney office is just north of Lucas, a short drive down Lake Forest Drive or FM 1378 (Country Club Road).

Lucas areas we serve
Lakeside homes near Lavon Lake and Brockdale Park: Coves, shoreline brush and still water mean heavy mosquito pressure from late spring through early fall, plus spiders around docks, boathouses and patios.
Estate neighborhoods off Country Club Road, Winningkoff Road and Estates Parkway: Large custom homes with stone facades, rock beds and mature trees. Scorpions, roof rats and termites top the list.
Horse and hobby farms: Feed rooms, hay and tack rooms attract mice and rats. Pets and horses bring fleas and ticks into the picture.
Near Lucas Community Park and the town center by Lucas Christian Academy: Open fields and ballfields with fire ants and crickets that move toward nearby homes after mowing.
Wooded creek properties: Leaf litter and woodpiles shelter brown recluses, black widows and ticks.
Acreage pest control is different
A standard plan built for a 50-foot lot doesn't fit a five-acre Lucas property. We start at the house: foundation, eaves, garage, attic access and any detached shop or guest house you want covered. Then we look at the land: where water stands, where brush meets the yard, where rodents are living in outbuildings. You get a plan built for your property, with clear notes on what we treated and what you can do between visits.
Lucas pests by season
Spring: Termite swarmers and ant colonies come up after rain. Ticks become active in tall grass.
Summer: Mosquitoes near the lake and ponds, scorpions at night along stone and block, and wasps in barn eaves.
Fall: Mice and rats move from fields and barns toward houses and garages. Crickets crowd the lights.
Winter: Rodents settle into attics and outbuildings, which makes it a good season for trapping and sealing.

Lucas pest control FAQ
We live near Lavon Lake. Can you really cut down the mosquitoes?
We can't treat the lake, but we can treat the shady places in your yard where mosquitoes rest and point out standing water to drain. Most families notice a big difference on the patio.
Do you treat barns and outbuildings for rodents?
Yes. We set exterior bait stations and traps around barns and shops, and we seal the house so rodents don't follow the feed to your garage.
Why are there scorpions in our new stone-front home in Lucas?
Stone, rock beds and landscape edging create the tight, dark gaps striped bark scorpions like. We treat those zones and the entry points around doors and weep holes.
Do you serve Fairview, Wylie and Allen too?
Yes: Fairview, Wylie, Allen and the rest of Collin County.
Is there an option without conventional products?
Yes. Our organic program runs on a two-month schedule.
