pest control in Keenan
Magnolia Pest Control provides pest control in Keenan, the old Santa Fe railroad and timber stop on FM 2854 about 10 miles west of Conroe. Pine woods, horse properties with ponds and barns, and new homesites along Keenan Cut Off Road bring termites, mosquitoes, barn rodents and fire ants to the area.
Keenan was established around 1906 on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe line and named for W. S. Keenan, a passenger agent for the railroad. It shipped timber; by 1915 it had about 150 residents, a general store and a gristmill, and by 1921 a sawmill and commissary stood near the depot. After the sawmill closed, possibly in the early 1930s, the population fell.
Today Keenan mixes wooded acreage, horse and cattle properties and new construction. Keenan Cut Off Road links FM 149 with FM 2854, crosses the tracks on a county-built overpass and passes Montgomery ISD's Keenan Elementary. Smith Douglas Homes has announced Oak Hills Montgomery North, a community of more than 200 homesites, on the same road.

Magnolia's heat, humidity and rain change which pests are active from week to week.
Why are termites a bigger issue in old timber country?
Keenan was built on cutting pine, and the woods grew back. Stumps, buried roots, slash piles and fallen limbs all feed subterranean termites, and a colony working an old stump a few feet from the slab can find the house next.
Homes on wooded lots here benefit from a yearly inspection and a written plan if activity turns up. Termite control for a typical home runs about $1,200–$3,000 for a liquid treatment or $1,200–$2,500 to install bait stations, with the price confirmed before work starts.
Do horse properties near Keenan need extra pest work?
Many properties along Keenan Cut Off Road and FM 2854 include stall barns, tack rooms, shops and spring-fed or stock ponds. Each one adds pests: mice and rats in the feed, wasps in the rafters and mosquitoes along still pond edges.
A visit can cover the barn and shop along with the house, and the technician will flag where horses should stay away and for how long. For pond-side mosquitoes, mosquito control in season runs about $65–$110 a month.
What happens to pests when wooded land is cleared for new homes?
Clearing and grading for subdivisions like the planned Oak Hills Montgomery North disturbs the fire ants, termites and rodents already living on the land. Fire ants are often among the first to reclaim fresh sod, and mice and rats pushed out of brush piles may test the walls of nearby houses, including established homes next door.
If you are building on your own lot, a pre-construction termite treatment before the slab goes down costs about $400–$1,200 and is much easier than treating under a finished floor.

FAQ
Keenan FAQs
Where exactly is Keenan?
Keenan sits in western Montgomery County on FM 2854, about 10 miles west of Conroe, with Keenan Cut Off Road running from there to FM 149. Most addresses use Montgomery and ZIP 77316. It is a short drive from our Magnolia base, and most calls are scheduled the same day.
Can you treat termites in a home surrounded by pine woods?
Wooded lots are routine work here. The technician checks the slab edge, plumbing penetrations, wood siding and any decks, plus stumps and wood piles near the house. Depending on what turns up, you get a written plan for a liquid barrier or bait stations, with the price approved before treatment.
How do I keep wasps out of my horse barn?
Knock down small paper wasp nests early in spring before colonies grow, and keep tack and feed room doors closed. Larger or hard-to-reach nests are safer left to a technician, especially near stalls where a stung horse can hurt itself or you. Nest removal typically runs $125–$350.
Will a new subdivision next door bring pests to my property?
It can for a while. Grading pushes out fire ants, mice and rats, and some head for the nearest yards and buildings. Sealing gaps around doors, vents and utility lines now, and watching for new fire ant mounds, makes the construction period easier.
