pest control in Audubon
Magnolia Pest Control provides pest control throughout Audubon, the 3,000-acre master-planned community where FM 1488 meets SH 249 in Magnolia. Freshly graded lots and new sod pull in fire ants, the community lakes and Mill Creek trails breed mosquitoes, and preserved tree groves keep termites close to brand-new slabs. Most calls are scheduled the same day.
Audubon has been filling in quickly on Magnolia's east side, where FM 1488 meets the Aggie Expressway (SH 249). Plans call for about 5,000 single-family homes plus apartments and a mixed-use town center on roughly 3,000 acres, and builders including Perry Homes, David Weekley Homes and Drees Custom Homes are still opening sections. On many streets, the oldest house is only a few years old.
The plan was laid out around nature, with bird-named streets like Whistling Duck Lane and Heronry Way, lakes, parks and trails along Mill Creek. That makes for a pleasant place to live, but it also puts water, shade and tree roots right beside freshly disturbed soil, the exact mix that keeps fire ants, mosquitoes and termites busy.

Why do fire ants take over new Audubon yards so quickly?
Red imported fire ants move fast into soil that has just been cleared, graded and covered with sod. In Audubon, mounds tend to show up first along sidewalks, sprinkler heads, utility boxes and the edge of the slab, and homesites still under construction nearby keep supplying new colonies after every rain.
Treating mound by mound rarely keeps up. Texas A&M AgriLife's Two-Step Method pairs a bait broadcast over the whole yard with direct treatment of active mounds, and a whole-yard fire ant treatment on a typical Audubon lot runs $120–$300. The technician tells you how long children and pets should stay off the lawn.
Do brand-new slab homes in Audubon need termite protection?
They do. Builders commonly pre-treat the ground ahead of the concrete pour, so ask yours what was used and when, because that protection does not last forever. Eastern subterranean termites, and the Formosan termites established in the Houston region, can enter through plumbing gaps and slab joints, and mulch beds kept damp by sprinklers give them moist soil right against the foundation.
Cleared homesites also leave buried roots, stumps and scrap lumber behind, all of which feed colonies. If you are adding a patio, outdoor kitchen or other new slab, a pre-construction termite treatment before the pour typically costs $400–$1,200.
Where do mosquitoes come from around Audubon's lakes and trails?
Audubon's plans include about seven fishing lakes, 19 parks and around 20 miles of hike-and-bike trails, with trail corridors along Mill Creek. Lake edges, detention basins and the creek bottom hold shallow water after storms, and mosquitoes are around for most of the year, with the heaviest biting from late spring through fall.
You can't treat a community lake, so start with your own lot: empty plant saucers and toys, clear construction grit out of new gutters and keep yard drains flowing. Monthly mosquito control in season, typically $65–$110 per visit, targets the shrubs and fence lines where adult mosquitoes rest during the day.

Job stories
Typical jobs in Audubon
Typical call: termite swarmers inside a slab home in Audubon
- What homeowners notice
- On a warm spring day, homeowners notice winged insects at a window or in a bathroom and a scatter of shed wings on the sill. The swarmers often come up near a plumbing penetration, bath trap or crack in the slab.
- What we do
- The technician confirms the insects are subterranean termites, inspects baseboards, door frames, the garage and the exterior slab edge for mud tubes and damage, then explains liquid treatment and bait system options with upfront prices.
- What to expect
- The homeowner chooses a treatment with a clear price in hand and a written report showing exactly where activity was found.

FAQ
Audubon FAQs
Which parts of Audubon do you serve?
All of it, including Creekside North, Creekside South, Audubon Park and the streets around Club Audubon on Heronry Way. Audubon homes have Magnolia addresses in the 77354 ZIP code, a short drive east of our base, so most calls are scheduled the same day.
I just closed on a new home in Audubon. Do I need pest control right away?
Not always, but walk the lot during the first few months. Look for fire ant mounds along the slab, mud tubes on the foundation and wasps under new eaves. If you want ongoing coverage, the initial service for a quarterly plan typically runs $150–$250, then $95–$150 per visit, confirmed before treatment.
Can you treat the lakes and trails behind my house?
No. We treat your lot only, and common areas like lakes, parks and trails are the community's to manage, so report standing water or heavy mosquito activity there to the HOA. On your property, we remove breeding water and treat the spots where mosquitoes rest.
Are treatments safe near Audubon's ponds and wildlife?
Products go on exactly as their labels direct, and many labels forbid applying them to water, so treatments stay on your lot and away from lake edges and storm drains. You get a written report of what was applied and where, and the technician explains how long pets should stay off treated areas.
