Everything is bigger in Texas, and unfortunately, that sometimes includes bugs. Texas is home to hundreds of different species of insects, and while many do not pose a threat, there are others you will want to eliminate from your home immediately. Do not hesitate to contact a wildlife and pest control service if you are worried one of these pests has made its way into your house. 
- Spiders
Around 980 species of spiders reside in Texas. Most of these are harmless, and many are beneficial to have around a garden. However, Texas is also home to the brown recluse and black widow spiders. Until a professional comes out, you need to be extremely careful around piles of firewood as spiders often make their home in these dark, reclusive places.
- Scorpions
Scorpions often do not travel in packs, but you will have a severe problem is scorpions decide to make your home their nest. The stings are typically not deadly, but they can be painful. The main way to keep scorpions away is to have your house regularly sprayed as a preventive measure.
- Mosquitoes
Texas is home to around 85 species of mosquitoes, including the dangerous Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti, which can bring chikungunya and yellow fever. Although Texas is dry most of the year, there are still plenty of standing water for mosquitoes to gather around. Keep standing water out of your property, and repair any pipes or faucets creating ponds immediately.
- Cockroaches
Most of Texas’ roaches are found by the Texas Gulf Coast. They prefer this more humid climate, and without prompt pest control in San Antonio, their populations will explode in your home overnight. They spread diseases, and you need to throw away any food that roaches come into contact with.
- Ants
