Typical Lubbock Pest Control Problems

Lubbock may be known for musical acts like Buddy Holly and Waylon Jennings or for its educational scene at Texas Tech University, but most people don’t think of pests. Because Lubbock lies in the great, hot desert of Texas, pests also thrive within city limits. Ants are one of the many kinds of pests in Lubbock. They are very social insects and, depending on the species, can live in a colony with millions of other ants. They tend to live in areas where they can have access to food and water, and they won’t be afraid to take up residence in a home or garden if food is plentiful. Unfortunately, ants, more particularly carpenter ants, can cause damage to your home over time. When living in your home, they usually take shelter in some sort of wood. As their colony grows, they gnaw at the wood to create more space, which will weaken the home. . If you spot  trails of common ants or carpenter ants on your property, don’t wait for the problem to get bigger. Call Fox Pest Control immediately for professional ant extermination services.  

Our Connection to Lubbock

For the past two summers, Fox Pest Control has participated in the West Texas Shoot-Out for the Inside Out Foundation. The Foundation is a local non-profit organization that specializes in helping and giving back to people such as traumatic event survivors , burn survivors, abuse survivors, and those who’ve experienced cancer and skin diseases. Emmanuel met Alexis Arnold, Executive Director of the Inside Out Foundation,  through a BNI networking business group. He continues to meet with her and the group on a weekly basis. The group helps Exmmanuel come up with business ideas and makes other community efforts like Fox Pest Control’s recent coat drive possible.  

Fox Pest Control – Lubbock consistently looks for ways to stay active in the community. It’s the community members who give us the ability to run our pest control businesses, and we couldn’t do it without them. In September of 2020, our Lubbock technicians and branch manager participated in the company’s Green Glove Project, a grassroots cleanup initiative. Our team members put on green gloves, grabbed some trash bags, and dedicated their morning to cleaning up Alcove Ave. Emmanuel was grateful for the opportunity to help beautify Lubbock and enjoy a team breakfast. “You don’t realize just how much work there is to be done until you do it,” Gaytan said. “It felt good to bond as a team and help the environment.”
