What's different about pests in west Fort Worth #
There is no official "west Fort Worth" boundary. The city's adopted Comprehensive Plan divides Fort Worth into 16 planning sectors, and several of them sit on the west side, including Far West, Western Hills/Ridglea, Arlington Heights, TCU/Westcliff and Far Northwest. On this page, "west Fort Worth" means the Fort Worth portions of ZIP codes 76108, 76114, 76116, 76126, 76135 and 76127. That is our own working definition, not a city one.
A few local facts shape the pest picture:
- Older homes on the inner west side. Census ACS data for 2020–24 shows about 33.7% of Fort Worth housing was built before 1980. In ZIP 76114 the figure is 62.4%, and in 76116 it is 53.4%, according to the Census ACS tables. Older houses often have more gaps for rodents and insects to use.
- Water close by. Lake Worth is the only water supply the City of Fort Worth owns. It sits on the West Fork of the Trinity and was first filled in 1914. The city's Far West sector plan calls for protecting the watershed's floodplains, riparian buffers, wooded areas and special habitat. The Western Hills/Ridglea sector plan encourages recreation along the Clear Fork of the Trinity.
- Large green space. The Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge covers 3,621 acres of forest, prairie and wetland.
- City mosquito monitoring. Fort Worth Environmental Services checks 40 mosquito trap sites each week and partners with Tarrant County Public Health on testing for West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis. Its mosquito page includes a West Nile Map of current spray areas. Per Tarrant County Public Health, each city handles mosquito abatement inside its own limits.
Common pests in west Fort Worth homes #
Mosquitoes. Standing water after a storm is what breeds mosquitoes. The city's advice includes emptying water that pools after rain, such as AC condensation, and covering rain barrels. Tarrant County's mosquito season runs April through November. Our mosquito control guide covers what to look for around your yard.
Mice and rats. Many west-side houses, especially in the inner ZIP codes, were built before 1980. Rodents get in through small gaps, and older homes often have more of them to seal. If you hear scratching in walls or find droppings in a garage or pantry, see our mice control guide.
Wildlife in attics and crawl spaces. Raccoons, opossums and squirrels get into attics and crawl spaces. Texas Parks and Wildlife rules govern trapping and relocation. Spyder offers wildlife exclusion, and the wildlife control guide explains the basics.
Fleas and ticks. Fleas and ticks arrive on pets and live in yards. Ask your veterinarian about pet treatments, and read our flea and tick control guide for the yard side of the problem.
Spiders, wasps and fire ants also show up on the west side. If you have a specific concern, see our guides to spiders, wasps and fire ants. If you find a wasp nest, stay clear of it until a professional can look at it.
