Ant Control built for Selma homes
Selma's newer master-planned neighborhoods sit on flat clay along the I-35 corridor, where slow-draining yards and fresh construction draw fire ants, mosquitoes, and subterranean termites.
A small city spread across Bexar, Guadalupe, and Comal counties at the Forum and Retama Park, Selma's recent slab-built subdivisions on expansive clay are classic ground for termite swarms and fire-ant mounds.
A few ants usually means a colony nearby. Bob Jenkins Pest & Lawn Services treats carpenter ants, fire ants, and household ants, finding the nest and setting a barrier so they don't march right back in.
Whether you're in Selma proper or just outside it in Guadalupe County, our technicians know the pests this part of South Texas throws at a home and treat for the long haul, not just the bugs you see today. We treat your premises with respect and answer any questions about the pest problems you have or had.
Pests rarely stop at one category. Our pest control in Selma, TX covers roaches, spiders, and the rest of the general household list on a recurring schedule. For rats and mice, ask about rodent control and exclusion. We seal the entry points they use instead of just trapping what already got in.

Selma pest calendar: what to watch month by month
Pest pressure in Selma shifts with the seasons. Here's how the year typically runs on South Texas ground so you can stay ahead of it.
Mar-May
Subterranean termite swarms & fire ants
Warm spring rains trigger termite swarms off the soil and push fire-ant mounds up across heavy clay yards. This is the window to set perimeter and bait.
Jun-Aug
Mosquitoes, roaches & scorpions
Long, humid summers keep American roaches and mosquitoes pressing on homes; clay that holds water after every storm feeds the next mosquito brood.
Sep-Nov
Rodents & overwintering pests
As nights cool, rats and mice look for a way indoors; a fall exterior barrier and sealed entry points keep them out before winter.
Dec-Feb
Indoor invaders & inspections
Mild South Texas winters never fully clear pests. Roaches and rodents move inside, and the quiet season is ideal for a termite inspection.
