Scorpion and Spider Control in Round Rock
One-time visit: $150 to $300; covered on quarterly service
Scorpion and spider work in Round Rock is part of quarterly service, and a one-time visit is $150 to $300. Scorpions take more than a spray, so most houses with a scorpion problem end up on a schedule.
Texas A&M AgriLife names the striped bark scorpion the most common scorpion in Central Texas and the only one found statewide, and in hot, dry weather it comes into houses after water and cooler hiding spots. No scorpion in Texas is considered lethal.
Scorpions: what the visit covers
- Exclusion. Door sweeps and weatherstripping, the garage door bottom seal, gaps at plumbing and AC line penetrations, weep holes screened rather than plugged.
- Harborage. Rock borders, landscape timbers, firewood, boards and pallets against the house. Each gets pointed out; moving them is often the biggest single fix.
- Treatment. Perimeter band on the foundation and up the wall, eaves, the garage, the attic hatch area.
- Night check. A UV flashlight makes scorpions glow. Ten minutes along the fence after dark shows where they are coming from.
Spiders
Most house spiders are harmless and eat other bugs. The two that matter are the widows and the recluse. Black widows live outside the living space: meter boxes, garage corners, under outdoor furniture. Brown recluses live inside, in closets, boxes and behind baseboards, and they are hard to kill with spray alone. Sticky traps along walls and in closets show where they are, cutting the clutter takes away the hiding spots, and targeted treatment handles the rest. Webs on the eaves get swept on every visit.
