Local Weather Risks in Welch
Triggers
Heavy rain events common to West Texas can flood outdoor pest harborage areas, driving snakes, rodents, and insects into structures. Drought conditions reduce outdoor food and water sources, forcing pests inside. Rapid temperature swings — common in Dawson County — can trigger sudden pest movement.
Seasonal Risks
Pest emergencies in the Welch area tend to spike with seasonal shifts. Spring and early summer bring increased termite swarming and stinging insect activity. Late summer heat drives ants, roaches, and scorpions indoors seeking moisture. Fall and first cold snaps push rodents into attics and wall cavities looking for warmth.
Disaster Scenarios
After a severe storm, flash flood, or extended freeze, displaced pests often seek shelter inside homes and businesses. Flooded fields push fire ants into higher ground, including around foundations. Power outages can leave food service businesses vulnerable to roach and fly infestations if refrigeration fails.

Emergency Prevention Tips
- ✓ Seal cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and foundation walls — pests enter through openings as small as a pencil width
- ✓ Keep kitchens and dining areas clean; store food in sealed containers and take out trash regularly
- ✓ Fix leaky pipes and eliminate standing water — pests need moisture to survive
- ✓ Trim back trees and shrubs that touch the house — these act as bridges for pests to access your roof and attic
- ✓ Store firewood at least 20 feet from the home and off the ground to avoid attracting termites and rodents
- ✓ Install door sweeps and weather stripping — a common entry point for rodents and insects
