Is pest control worth it in Smithwick, TX?
For pest control in Smithwick, 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 Smithwick
Smithwick stretches for miles along Ranch Road 1431 between Marble Falls and the upper end of Lake Travis, so homes here sit on wooded acreage and river-bottom ranches rather than tight lots. Hickory Creek and Post Oak Creek thread the limestone hills, and the Colorado River bends past Shaffer Bend and Turkey Bend nearby. All that brush, creek bottom, and quiet water gives scorpions, spiders, rodents, and mosquitoes cover right up to the house. ACI Pest & Lawn Solutions keeps offices in Kingsland and Marble Falls, so our technicians know Smithwick from Shaffer Bend Recreation Area to Turkey Bend Recreation Area firsthand. They adjust each treatment to the season and to what they find on your property.
Why Smithwick's setting drives the pests
Thin, rocky limestone and caliche soils under heavy ashe-juniper (cedar) and live oak drain fast and bake in summer, keeping slab edges and rock lines warm enough for scorpions to stay active into fall. Shaded creek bottoms hold humidity that suits mosquitoes and spiders, while acreage lawns fight thin soil, hard water, and tree-root competition that let tough weeds move in fast. Properties near Lake Travis 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 Smithwick.
Safe for your family and pets
We use IPM technology and environmentally friendly products with minimal chemicals on every Smithwick 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 Smithwick, just contact us and we'll come back to re-treat at no additional charge.
Serving Smithwick and the surrounding Highland Lakes, including Marble Falls, Spicewood, Cottonwood Shores, Meadowlakes, and Horseshoe Bay.
Smithwick pest & lawn calendar, month by month
Pests around Smithwick 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. Good time for rodent exclusion before spring, since cool weather pushes mice toward warm homes in the oak country.
- FebruaryAnts and scorpions hold in warm rock and slab voids on mild days. The bottoms stay damp, so spiders linger in sheltered spots.
- MarchTermite swarmers emerge on warm days after rain, common in the river-bottom country, while ants forage and scorpions wake in the rock.
- AprilMosquitoes pick up early in the Pedernales bottoms and stock tanks. Fire ants reappear and scorpions grow active in the uplands.
- MayMosquitoes settle into the shaded, damp low spots. Fire ant mounds and scorpion activity climb; pre-emergent should already be down.
- JuneMosquito pressure holds in the bottoms and under the oak canopy. Scorpions and spiders are fully active around homes.
- JulyPeak pressure. Scorpions and spiders work the rock and brush, and mosquitoes stay heavy wherever shade and water meet in the savanna.
- AugustMosquitoes, scorpions, and spiders stay high. Lawn weeds push in wherever the oak canopy thins, so feeding and spot weed control matter.
- SeptemberLate rains keep mosquitoes around the bottoms. Rodents and spiders begin moving toward warm homes as nights cool.
- OctoberThe move indoors. Mice, rats, and spiders head for warm walls and attics; scorpions seek shelter, and fall pre-emergent goes down.
- NovemberRodent pressure peaks as cold fronts arrive. A treated, sealed perimeter keeps them from settling in for the winter.
- DecemberOutdoor activity quiets, but indoor rodents stay active. The right month to plan exclusion and lock in next year's program.

Which pests are most common in Smithwick?
Because Smithwick sits in Burnet County in the Hill Country, the pests we treat most are scorpions, fire ants and other ants, spiders, and rodents, plus mosquitoes wherever there's standing water nearby.

Shaded creek bottoms hold humidity that suits mosquitoes and spiders, while acreage lawns fight thin soil, hard water, and tree-root competition that let tough weeds move in fast.

Yes. Our bi-monthly pest control service is the only program we offer that specifically targets scorpions, alongside common pests like ants, roaches, and spiders. In a setting like Smithwick, where warm rock and brush sit right against homes, it's our most popular service for exactly that reason.

Best Pest Control in Smithwick, TX
Why ACI Is the Best Pest Control in Smithwick
We run two Highland Lakes offices, Kingsland and Marble Falls, so a Smithwick call goes to a technician who already works from Shaffer Bend Recreation Area to Turkey Bend Recreation Area, not a dispatcher reading off a map. Smithwick stretches for miles along Ranch Road 1431 between Marble Falls and the upper end of Lake Travis, so homes here sit on wooded acreage and river-bottom ranches rather than tight lots. Hickory Creek and Post Oak Creek thread the limestone hills, and the Colorado River bends past Shaffer Bend and Turkey Bend nearby. All that brush, creek bottom, and quiet water gives scorpions, spiders, rodents, and mosquitoes cover right up to the house.
That local knowledge is backed by our service guarantee: if pests return between your scheduled pest control visits in Smithwick, contact us and we'll re-treat at no additional charge. It's what keeps homeowners across Hickory Creek, Elm Grove, Smithwick Mills, and the rest of Smithwick 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!”
