Helotes pest calendar: what to watch month by month
Pest pressure in Helotes shifts with the seasons. Here's how the year typically runs on the limestone hills so you can stay ahead of it.
Mar-May
Scorpions & spiders waking up
As the limestone shelf warms, scorpions and spiders leave winter harborage in rock and cedar and move toward homes. That is the start of peak sting season.
Jun-Aug
Scorpions, wasps & mosquitoes
Hot, dry Hill Country summers drive scorpions indoors after water; paper wasps build under eaves and mosquitoes hold on in shaded, watered yards.
Sep-Nov
Rodents & scorpion holdover
Cooling weather sends rodents toward warm structures and scorpions back to foundation lines; sealing rock walls and entry gaps matters most now.
Dec-Feb
Overwintering & inspections
Scorpions and spiders den down in rock and woodpiles through winter; the slow season is the right time for a thorough perimeter and termite check.
