Pest control in Wylie 75098
Wylie has grown fast: 72 percent of the homes in 75098 were built in 2000 or later. Most of the ZIP is new subdivisions reaching toward Lavon Lake, around an older town center along the railroad and State Highway 78.
Texas pest control businesses are licensed by the TDA. The call carries no obligation.
Two kinds of Wylie
The newer subdivisions make up most of the ZIP. Graded lots, young sod and mulch against brick veneer keep the foundation strip damp. That favors fire ants, crickets and the scorpions that hunt them, and gives subterranean termites easy soil along the slab.
The older core around downtown Wylie, incorporated in 1887 and once billed as the onion capital of the United States, has older houses and mature trees. There the questions are more often rats in the attic from overhanging branches and older termite treatments that have long expired.
What gets treated most in 75098
Fire ants in lawns and along sidewalks after every rain. Fire ant control
Termites in both new and old homes. Termite control
Mosquitoes on lots near creeks, ponds and the lake. Mosquito control

Around 75098
Lavon Lake, built by the Army Corps of Engineers on the East Fork of the Trinity River and completed in 1953, lies along the north and east of Wylie. Woodbridge Golf Club is on Country Club Drive in the Wylie part of the ZIP, and a small eastern piece of Sachse also falls in 75098. St. Paul, a small town established in 1971 just north of Wylie, is almost entirely owner-occupied houses.
On larger lots and near open land, expect a technician to ask about fence lines, outbuildings and woodpiles, because that is where scorpions, rodents and black widows spend the day.

(866) 204-1244Questions people ask
Does 75098 include St. Paul?
Yes. The town of St. Paul lies entirely inside 75098, as does the eastern edge of Sachse. Providers serving Wylie cover it.
Does living near Lavon Lake mean more mosquitoes?
Homes near the shoreline, creeks and retention ponds tend to see more. Standing water in the yard matters at least as much: some species breed in a bottle cap of water.
Are there termites in a brand-new Wylie subdivision?
Yes. Subterranean termites live in the soil and were present before the houses. New-build termite coverage, if any, is time-limited.
