Is pest control worth it in Cottonwood Shores, TX?
For pest control in Cottonwood Shores, ACI runs a bi-monthly program built around the pests this part of Burnet County actually has: scorpions, ants, spiders, and the rodents that try to move indoors. Every visit pairs an inspection with a perimeter treatment, so problems get caught before they spread, and the work is backed by our service guarantee.
Pest control built for Cottonwood Shores
Cottonwood Shores is a compact lake community squeezed between Marble Falls and Horseshoe Bay, with shaded, tree-lined lots that sit close to Lake Marble Falls. The shade and nearby water hold humidity, so mosquitoes and spiders settle in, while the warm rock and slabs keep scorpions against the homes. ACI Pest & Lawn Solutions keeps offices in Kingsland and Marble Falls, so our technicians know Cottonwood Shores from Lake Marble Falls to the Colorado River arm firsthand. They adjust each treatment to the season and to what they find on your property.
Why Cottonwood Shores's setting drives the pests
Shaded lots over thin Burnet County soils stay a little damper than the open uplands, which favors mosquitoes and spiders in the canopy and around foundations. Lawns here trade some sun for shade stress, so turf thins and weeds creep in wherever the cottonwoods and oaks block the light. Properties near Lake Marble Falls see the heaviest pressure, where quiet, standing water gives pests an easy place to breed. That's why our general pest service is designed to take all of them on at once rather than chasing one pest at a time.
Our most popular program: bi-monthly
Our bi-monthly pest control service is the most popular program we offer, and the only one that specifically targets scorpions, which matters in a county like Burnet. Every visit includes a thorough inspection, a targeted interior treatment where needed, and preventive work around the exterior, so issues get caught early. Consistent, scheduled service is what keeps pest numbers down over time in Cottonwood Shores.
Safe for your family and pets
We use IPM technology and environmentally friendly products with minimal chemicals on every Cottonwood Shores visit, and our technicians walk you through any guidelines to follow before and after a service so your kids and pets stay protected.
Backed by our service guarantee
Pest control takes time to work. Products have to spread and the bugs have to ingest or absorb them, which is why we recommend allowing 14 to 21 days for general treatments to reach full effect. If pests return between your scheduled visits in Cottonwood Shores, just contact us and we'll come back to re-treat at no additional charge.

Cottonwood Shores pest & lawn calendar, month by month
Pests around Cottonwood Shores follow the Hill Country seasons. Here is what tends to show up through the year, and what we focus on each month to stay ahead of it.
- JanuaryQuietest stretch of the year. Best time for rodent exclusion and sealing entry points before spring, since cold pushes mice toward warm walls and attics.
- FebruaryScorpions and ants still hold in warm rock and foundation voids on mild days. A good window to get ahead of the season before activity climbs.
- MarchEverything wakes up. Termite swarmers appear on warm days after rain, ants begin foraging indoors, and scorpions stir back to life along the lake-warmed rock.
- AprilMosquito breeding starts in earnest as lake levels and rains fill low spots, gutters, and coves. First barrier sprays pay off most when started now.
- MayFire ant mounds erupt in lawns and scorpion activity ramps up. Pre-emergent weed control should already be down for the warm-season weeds.
- JuneMosquito pressure builds fast off the standing lake water and irrigated yards. Scorpions are fully active and hunting at night near the house.
- JulyPeak pressure. Hot, dry uplands push scorpions, ants, and spiders toward the cooler, watered areas around homes; mosquitoes stay heavy near the water.
- AugustMosquitoes and scorpions stay at their summer high. Lawn weeds and heat stress show wherever turf has thinned, so feeding and spot weed control matter.
- SeptemberMosquitoes linger with late-summer rains. Rodents and spiders begin scouting for the warmth of homes as nights start to cool.
- OctoberThe move indoors. Mice, rats, and spiders work toward warm walls and attics; scorpions seek shelter as temperatures drop. Fall pre-emergent goes down for cool-season weeds.
- NovemberRodent pressure peaks as the first cold fronts arrive. Sealing gaps and keeping the perimeter treated keeps them from settling in for winter.
- DecemberActivity slows outdoors, but rodents already inside stay active. Winter is the time to plan exclusion and lock in the next year's program.

Which pests are most common in Cottonwood Shores?

Best Pest Control in Cottonwood Shores, TX
Why ACI Is the Best Pest Control in Cottonwood Shores
We run two Highland Lakes offices, Kingsland and Marble Falls, so a Cottonwood Shores call goes to a technician who already works from Lake Marble Falls to the Colorado River arm, not a dispatcher reading off a map. Cottonwood Shores is a compact lake community squeezed between Marble Falls and Horseshoe Bay, with shaded, tree-lined lots that sit close to Lake Marble Falls. The shade and nearby water hold humidity, so mosquitoes and spiders settle in, while the warm rock and slabs keep scorpions against the homes.
That local knowledge is backed by our service guarantee: if pests return between your scheduled pest control visits in Cottonwood Shores, contact us and we'll re-treat at no additional charge. It's what keeps homeowners across Cottonwood Shores proper, the lakefront lots, RM 2147 corridor, and the rest of Cottonwood Shores on the schedule.

“ACI has provided pest control services for us for years. They are extremely knowledgeable, as in all of that time, we have NEVER experienced any pests, and we've ALWAYS been thrilled with their service. Most recently, we needed a significant termite treatment done before workers started forming for a slab. The crew had been out a few months before to survey and quote the work, but I wasn't able to give them much notice. They juggled schedules and were able to do this work the next day, a tremendous testament to the customer focus this team has. You will not regret calling ACI!”
