Is scorpion control worth it in Burnet, TX?
For scorpion control in Burnet, the answer is our bi-monthly program, the only service we offer that specifically targets scorpions. In a rocky Burnet County setting, that means treating the perimeter, harborage, and entry points scorpions use, on a schedule that keeps numbers down.
Why Burnet has scorpions
Burnet anchors the north end of the Highland Lakes, ringed by working ranch land, Inks Lake, and the granite hills of the Llano Uplift. The open pasture and barns push rodents toward warm homes in fall, while the granite outcrops and rock walls around town are classic scorpion harborage. Scorpions thrive in exactly this kind of terrain: rock, dry brush, woodpiles, and the warm voids around a home's foundation. They hunt at night and squeeze through gaps you'd never notice, which is why Burnet homes see them come indoors as the weather turns.
Our bi-monthly program targets scorpions
Our bi-monthly pest control service is the most popular program we offer, and the only one that specifically targets scorpions. It treats the perimeter, the harborage areas around the property, and the entry points scorpions use, while also handling the ants, spiders, and other pests they hunt.
Treating harborage and entry points
Knocking down the scorpions you see isn't enough on its own. Granite and limestone soils across the Llano Uplift are thin and rocky, so the ground heats fast and stays warm, and decomposed granite around foundations gives scorpions and ants easy runways. Pasture-edge lawns deal with fire ants and a steady push of grassland weeds that need pre-emergent ahead of each season. We focus on the rock lines, woodpiles, foundation gaps, and exterior voids around your Burnet home where scorpions shelter and where they slip inside, so the pressure drops over time.
Safe for your family and pets
We use IPM technology and environmentally friendly, minimal-chemical products, and our technicians share guidelines to keep kids and pets protected before and after each visit.
Why consistency matters
Scorpion pressure builds back if treatment stops, especially in rocky Burnet County. Staying on the bi-monthly schedule is what keeps numbers under control, and if you see activity between visits, contact us and we'll re-treat at no additional charge.
Serving Burnet and the surrounding Highland Lakes, including Marble Falls, Granite Shoals, Bertram, Buchanan Dam, and Meadowlakes.
Burnet pest & lawn calendar, month by month
Pests around Burnet 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 month. Prime time for rodent exclusion, since cold ranch country drives mice toward warm homes, barns, and outbuildings.
- FebruaryScorpions and ants hold in warm granite and foundation voids on mild days. A strong window to treat the perimeter before spring activity climbs.
- MarchTermite swarmers appear after warm rains, ants start foraging, and scorpions wake up in the warming granite rock and outcrops.
- AprilFire ant mounds reappear in pastures and lawns; scorpions grow active. Mosquitoes pick up around stock tanks, creek bottoms, and low spots.
- MayScorpion and ant activity ramps hard in the rocky uplands. Pre-emergent should already be working against warm-season grassland weeds.
- JuneHot, dry conditions push scorpions, ants, and spiders toward the watered, shaded areas around the house. Mosquitoes hold near any standing water.
- JulyPeak scorpion season in granite country. The warm rock stays active well after dark, and spiders follow the insects they hunt indoors.
- AugustScorpions and ants stay at their summer high; lawn weeds and heat stress show in thinned turf. Spot weed control and feeding keep the lawn ahead.
- SeptemberRodents and spiders start scouting warm homes as nights cool. Scorpion activity is still strong in the rock around foundations.
- OctoberMice and rats move toward warm walls, attics, and barns. Scorpions seek shelter as it cools, and fall pre-emergent goes down for cool-season weeds.
- NovemberRodent pressure peaks with the first hard fronts. Perimeter treatment and sealed gaps keep them out of homes and outbuildings.
- DecemberOutdoor activity slows, but indoor rodents stay busy. Best month to plan exclusion and set next year's program.
Common questions about scorpion control in Burnet
Do you treat scorpions in Burnet, TX?
Yes. Scorpion control is a core part of what we do in Burnet, including Delaware Springs and Hoover Valley. Our bi-monthly pest control service is the only program we offer that specifically targets scorpions, alongside ants, spiders, and other common pests.
Why does Burnet get so many scorpions?
Burnet anchors the north end of the Highland Lakes, ringed by working ranch land, Inks Lake, and the granite hills of the Llano Uplift. The open pasture and barns push rodents toward warm homes in fall, while the granite outcrops and rock walls around town are classic scorpion harborage. Rock, dry brush, and woodpiles are ideal scorpion habitat, and they move indoors through small gaps as the weather changes. Perimeter and harborage treatment on a schedule is what keeps them down.
What's the best way to keep scorpions out of a Burnet home?
Consistent perimeter treatment plus sealing entry points and clearing harborage like woodpiles and debris near the foundation. Our bi-monthly program handles the treatment side and our technicians point out conducive conditions to fix.
When are scorpions most active around Burnet?
They wake in spring as the rock warms, peak through the hot summer when they hunt at night, and push toward shelter, sometimes indoors, as fall cools. Year-round treatment keeps numbers from rebuilding between seasons.
Is scorpion treatment safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use environmentally friendly, minimal-chemical products and provide specific safety guidelines before and after each treatment.

“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!”
