Local pest profile
What makes Buda different
Buda sits where the Hill Country meets the blackland prairie. The east side has clay soils, fire ants and sugar ants, and lawns that grub worms and crabgrass like. On the rockier west side you're more likely to find scorpions. Field crickets can show up in large numbers along I-35 in late summer, drawn to lights.
| Ground | Clay on the east side; rockier limestone to the west |
|---|---|
| Typical property | Newer neighborhoods along I-35 and Onion Creek |
| Busy seasons | Fire ants and sugar ants spring through fall; crickets in late summer; grubs in August |
| Tip for Buda homes | Treat fire ant mounds in spring and again in fall. Those are the two times new colonies spread across Buda lawns. |
