Is scorpion control worth it in Tow, TX?
For scorpion control in Tow, the answer is our bi-monthly program, the only service we offer that specifically targets scorpions. In a rocky Llano County setting, that means treating the perimeter, harborage, and entry points scorpions use, on a schedule that keeps numbers down.
Why Tow has scorpions
Tow sits on the quiet western shore of Lake Buchanan, the largest of the Highland Lakes, where ranch country and granite hills run right down to the water and Fall Creek falls into the Colorado River. The long shoreline, spring-fed creeks, and stock tanks feed heavy warm-season mosquitoes, while the surrounding pasture, brush, and rock keep scorpions and rodents pressing toward homes. That mix of open water and warm stone is why lakeside properties here juggle several pests at once. 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 Tow 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 thin, rocky Llano County soils drain fast and hold heat, so scorpions stay active around warm foundations, rock walls, and slab edges well into the night. Lake-fed humidity and creek bottoms along Fall Creek and Beaver Creek sustain mosquitoes through the long, hot summers. Ranch-edge Bermuda and native lawns fight fire ants, grassland weeds, and hard water, all of which reward a timed pre-emergent program. We focus on the rock lines, woodpiles, foundation gaps, and exterior voids around your Tow 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 Llano 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.

Tow pest & lawn calendar, month by month
Pests around Tow 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.
Common questions about scorpion control in Tow
Do you treat scorpions in Tow, TX?
Yes. Scorpion control is a core part of what we do in Tow, including Buchanan Lake Village and Silver Creek Village. 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 Tow get so many scorpions?
Tow sits on the quiet western shore of Lake Buchanan, the largest of the Highland Lakes, where ranch country and granite hills run right down to the water and Fall Creek falls into the Colorado River. The long shoreline, spring-fed creeks, and stock tanks feed heavy warm-season mosquitoes, while the surrounding pasture, brush, and rock keep scorpions and rodents pressing toward homes. That mix of open water and warm stone is why lakeside properties here juggle several pests at once. 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 Tow 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 Tow?
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!”
