Identifying ants in New Braunfels
Central Texas hosts red imported fire ants, Tawny crazy ants, carpenter ants, sugar ants, and Argentine ants. Each has different habits and requires different baits.
Behavior & habitat
Fire ants build dome mounds and swarm aggressively when disturbed. Crazy ants form supercolonies with no defined nest. Carpenter ants tunnel through wet wood without eating it.
Why ants are a problem here
Fire ant stings cause painful welts and dangerous allergic reactions. Crazy ants short out electrical equipment. Carpenter ants weaken structural lumber.
New Braunfels seasonal outlook: Ant activity surges after spring and fall rain, while irrigated lawns can sustain colonies throughout the warm season.
Why New Braunfels homes get ants
New Braunfels sits in Comal & Guadalupe Counties, where long triple-digit summers, mild winters, and sudden heavy rain give ants a nearly year-round runway. Irrigation cycles, shaded landscaping, and standing moisture keep ant activity high even when the yard looks dry, which is why our New Braunfels programs run on a schedule instead of a single visit.
Where they get in around here
On New Braunfels routes, our technicians track ant activity back to weep holes and weatherstripping gaps along the exterior, mulch beds and landscape timbers stacked against the wall, utility penetrations and expansion joints, and kitchen and bathroom plumbing chases. We treat those pressure points directly — targeted perimeter applications, void treatments, monitored bait or trapping placements, and exclusion work — so the population drops instead of shifting a few feet down the wall.
“Most New Braunfels ant calls we run aren't a mystery — the conditions are right and nobody closed the gaps. We find the pressure point, treat it, then come back and verify. If it moves again, so do we, on our dime.”
Signs of a ant problem
- • Visible foraging trails along baseboards or counters
- • Dirt mounds in lawns (fire ants)
