What's different about pests in Lake Worth #
Most homes are older, detached houses. Census ACS estimates for 2020-2024 show that about 61% of Lake Worth's housing units were built before 1980, and the 1950s is the largest single decade of construction. About 92% of the units are single-family detached homes (age of housing, type of housing). The survey margins of error are wide, so treat these as approximate. Still, a neighborhood of freestanding older houses means plenty of exterior wall, roofline and foundation where small gaps can open up.
The lake is next door, not inside the city. Lake Worth the lake sits entirely within Fort Worth's city limits, and the Census shows no water area inside the city of Lake Worth (Census). Texas Parks and Wildlife describes shallow flats along the lake's edges that are thick with cattails (TPWD). So the accurate way to say it is that Lake Worth homes are near the lake, and the lake edges and nearby green space may be part of the picture for mosquitoes and wildlife.
Mosquito abatement is handled city by city. Tarrant County Public Health says mosquito abatement falls to each city within its own boundaries, and it describes a mosquito season that runs April through November (TCPH).
The city's Animal Control lists wildlife calls. Lake Worth Animal Control, at 7209 Comanche Trail, lists skunks and bats seen in daylight, suspected rabid animals and venomous snakes among its after-hours call types (Animal Control). Code Compliance also lists tall grass and weeds, junk and debris, and health and sanitation among its common violations (Code Compliance).
Common pests in Lake Worth homes #
Mice and rats. With so many pre-1980 houses, rodents are a reasonable concern. Mice and rats slip in through small gaps, and an older house usually gives them more openings that need sealing. Droppings, gnawing and scratching in the walls or attic are the usual signs. Our mice control guide covers what to look for.
Mosquitoes. Standing water after a storm is where mosquitoes breed. Clogged gutters, plant saucers, buckets and low spots in the yard can all hold it. Tarrant County Public Health oversees the county's April-November mosquito season and tests for West Nile virus. See our mosquito control page for yard habits that help, and we can look at your property if mosquitoes are still a problem.
Wildlife. Raccoons, opossums and squirrels can end up in attics and crawl spaces, and the city's animal list also names skunks and bats. Trapping and relocation fall under Texas Parks and Wildlife rules. The city also asks residents to close nuisance animal traps during extreme heat (Animal Problems). If you hear something overhead, read our wildlife control page and call us rather than handle it yourself.
Fire ants. Mounds appear in lawns and along edges, especially after rain, and a sting can trigger a serious reaction in some people. Keep children and pets away from mounds and read our fire ant guide before you disturb one.
Other pests come up too. Spiders hide in cluttered corners (see spider control). Wasps nest under eaves and near doors, so stay clear of the nest (wasp control). Fleas and ticks ride in on pets and from the yard (flea and tick control). German cockroaches settle indoors around kitchens and bathrooms (German cockroach guide). Bed bugs travel with people and used furniture, not dirt (bed bug treatment).
