Pest Control in Weslaco, TX
Weslaco was platted on irrigated farmland by the American Rio Grande Land and Irrigation Co. in 1913, and it has a history with water. In the March 2025 storm the city got about 14 inches of rain, according to the Texas Tribune, and one Weslaco home was reported flooded in June 2018, in 2019 and again in 2025. Estero Llano Grande State Park, a wetland and floodplain prairie, sits right in town. CPL Pest Control serves Weslaco homes and businesses, and the Mid-Valley towns around them.
Free onsite inspection for Weslaco homes and businesses.

Weslaco has flooded hard more than once, and wet ground drives our busiest calls here: mosquitoes, fire ants pushed up into yards and foundations, and termites in damp wood. We also treat roaches, rats and mice, wasps and fleas, at homes, restaurants and other businesses, inside and outside.
Homes in Weslaco
The median Weslaco home was built around 1995, and about 11% predate 1970 (U.S. Census ACS 2020-2024). Homes that have taken on water more than once are worth a termite check, since wet soil and damp framing invite subterranean termites.

Common Pests in Weslaco
Mosquitoes after repeat flooding
When an area floods again and again, standing water becomes a routine mosquito nursery. After a storm, empty anything holding water and check low spots in the yard. We treat the shady, damp places where mosquitoes rest, which city spraying doesn’t reach.
Fire ants pushed out by water
Fire ants move to higher ground when soil floods, and they often end up along foundations, in flower beds and in AC pads. We treat the yard so you can use it again.
Termites in Mid-Valley homes
About 11% of Weslaco homes were built before 1970, and wet soil after a flood is ideal for subterranean termites. Native Texas termites are active here, and the invasive Formosan termite has also been found in Hidalgo County. A free inspection is the place to start.
Roaches for restaurants and homes
Cockroaches thrive in the heat and in busy kitchens along the expressway. For restaurants and food businesses, keeping them out is part of passing inspection.
Mexican honey wasps
AgriLife says Mexican honey wasps are especially common in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Their nests can hold thousands of wasps, so don’t knock one down yourself.

Weslaco Pest Control FAQ
Do you provide pest control in Weslaco, TX?

Does flooding make termites more likely in Weslaco?
Wet soil and damp wood are what subterranean termites need, and Weslaco has had repeat floods, including the March 2025 storm. Formosan termites are also documented in Hidalgo County. We check flood-prone homes closely.
Is it safe to knock down a wasp nest myself?
We don’t recommend it. AgriLife says Mexican honey wasps are especially common in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, and their nests can hold thousands of wasps. Call (956) 287-2118 and let us handle it.
My Weslaco street floods every few years. What pests should I watch for after it drains?
Watch for mosquitoes breeding in leftover water and fire ants moving up to foundations, flower beds and AC pads. Wet soil also suits subterranean termites, especially in older homes. Call us after the water goes down and we’ll check the property.
Does Estero Llano Grande State Park bring more mosquitoes into Weslaco?
The park is a wetland and floodplain prairie right in town, and standing water anywhere nearby can add to mosquito pressure. Most backyard mosquitoes, though, breed in containers close to the house. We find and treat those spots.
