Magnolia Pest Control provides pest control in High Meadow Ranch, the golf and equestrian community off FM 1774 between Magnolia and Pinehurst. Wooded homesites of one to ten acres, a horse and nature trail, ponds and an 18-hole golf course bring ticks, fire ants, rodents and termites close to the house. Most calls are scheduled the same day.
High Meadow Ranch spreads across the rolling, wooded country of southern Montgomery County, just north of where SH 249 turns into FM 1774 near Pinehurst. Homesites run from about one to ten acres, and some back onto High Meadow Ranch Golf Club, an 18-hole course designed by Tim Nugent that opened in 1999.
Horses are welcome, and a riding and nature trail runs through the neighborhood. Some homes date to the late 1990s while custom builds still go up on open lots, so one street can pair 25-year-old wood framing with a brand-new slab, and each needs a different kind of attention.
Magnolia's heat, humidity and rain change which pests are active from week to week.
Lone Star and American dog ticks wait on tall grass and brush along the trail and pasture edges, then climb onto horses, dogs and riders. A mowed strip where the trail meets your yard, plus a quick check of every animal after a ride, limits how many reach the barn and the house.
Fire ant mounds in paddocks and around water troughs sting horses, dogs and anyone hauling hay. Some fire ant baits are not approved for grazing land, so show the technician where horses graze and drink; the treatment plan and the written report will reflect it.
Sweet feed, hay and spilled grain feed mice and rats, which nest in tack rooms and bale stacks and then head for the house when a cold front blows through. Paper wasps fix nests under barn eaves and stall doors, and brown recluse spiders and scorpions tuck into saddle pads, lumber piles and firewood.
Keep feed in metal bins with tight lids and stack hay on pallets. Rodent control on acreage covers trapping and sealing entry points at the house, plus a plan for the barn, and typically runs $300–$1,200 depending on the buildings involved.
Homes built in the late 1990s and early 2000s have likely outlived their original soil treatment. Stumps, fallen limbs, landscape timbers and wood fences give subterranean termite colonies food close to the foundation, and swarms usually appear after a rain once late-winter and spring weather turns warm.
A termite inspection runs from free to $125 and covers the house plus attached decks and porches. Ask the technician to look at barn sills and any wood touching the soil while they are there.
The horse trail, pasture edges and wooded acreage put horses, dogs and riders in tick habitat every day.
Paddocks, trough areas and big open lawns rebuild fire ant mounds after every heavy rain.
Feed rooms, hay storage and workshops give mice and rats food and cover a short run from the house.
Barn eaves, stall doors and deep covered porches give paper wasps sheltered places to build.

We can, but most plans focus on the house, the yard you use and the outbuildings rather than every acre of woods. The technician walks the property with you, agrees on the zones to treat, and confirms the price before starting.
Each product is used only as its label allows, and some cannot be used in pastures or near feed and water. Show the technician where horses graze, eat and drink so suitable products are chosen, and you'll be told how long to keep animals off treated areas. The written report lists everything applied.
They can add to it, but troughs, clogged gutters and low spots on a big lot often breed more mosquitoes closer to the house. Dump and refill troughs weekly. Monthly mosquito treatments in season typically cost $65–$110 and focus on the shady areas where people and horses spend time.
The neighborhood is only a few miles down FM 1774 from Magnolia, and most calls are scheduled the same day. Calls are answered around the clock, and if you need an after-hours visit, the $50–$150 emergency fee is explained before anyone is dispatched.
