Scorpions in living areas — Multiple bark scorpions found inside the home, particularly in bedrooms, bathrooms, or near children's play areas

Local Weather Risks in Coleman
Triggers
Heavy rain or flash flooding — Drives ants, roaches, snakes, and rodents out of flooded ground and into structures. Prolonged drought — Pushes scorpions, spiders, and wildlife to seek water and shelter indoors. Extreme heat — Increases wasp and hornet activity; colonies grow aggressive and territorial. Cold snaps — Rodents and wildlife look for warm shelter, often entering attics, crawlspaces, and garages.
Seasonal Risks
Pest emergencies in Coleman County tend to spike during late spring and summer (April through September) when heat and humidity drive insects and wildlife indoors. Fall cooling also pushes rodents and larger pests to seek shelter. Heavy rain events — common during spring thunderstorm season — flood outdoor nests and force pests inside. Freeze events in winter can drive rodents into walls and attics.
Disaster Scenarios
After severe storms or tornadoes: Structural damage creates new entry points for pests. Standing water and debris attract flies, mosquitoes, and rodents. Local professionals commonly see a surge in calls after storm events. After flooding: Water drives fire ants into clusters that can float and re-infest homes. Sewage backups attract roaches and flies. Prompt pest assessment is often needed after flood clean-up. After freeze events: Pipes burst, creating damp conditions that attract pests. Wildlife may die in walls or attics, creating odor and secondary pest problems.

Emergency Prevention Tips
- ✓ Seal entry points — Inspect and seal cracks around doors, windows, pipes, and foundation gaps before each season. Even small openings can let in scorpions, ants, and rodents.
- ✓ Manage moisture — Fix leaky faucets, pipes, and roof drainage. Pests are drawn to standing water and damp areas, especially in crawlspaces and basements.
- ✓ Keep vegetation back — Trim tree branches, bushes, and grass away from the foundation. Overgrown landscaping creates highways for pests to reach your home's exterior walls and roof.
- ✓ Secure food and waste — Store food in sealed containers, take out trash regularly, and keep pet food indoors. Open garbage and crumbs are a primary attractant for roaches, ants, and rodents.
- ✓ Inspect after storms — After heavy rain, hail, or high winds, walk the exterior of your home and check for new gaps, loose siding, or damaged vents that could become pest entry points.
