Pest Control Cedar Park, TX | Prickly Pear — Locally Owned
Prickly Pear is a locally owned, independent Central Texas company — not a national chain running a route. Our staff entomologist, Stephen, holds a master’s degree in Entomology from the University of Texas – Austin, so pest identification and treatment protocol on your property is built on real training, not a generic spray-and-go.
Why Cedar Park’s Pest Pressure Is Real
Cedar Park has grown more than 200% over the last 20 years, expanding into greenspace, hill country, and former farmland. That growth means a steady supply of freshly disturbed, graded soil around new construction — exactly the kind of ground fire ant colonies move into first. Cedar Park’s hundreds of acres of parks and miles of trails also mean plenty of green, shaded cover close to homes, on top of the everyday ants, roaches, and rodents every Central Texas home deals with.
Pests We See Most in Cedar Park
- Fire ants — especially around newer construction on recently cleared hill-country and farmland lots; full yard treatment plus year-round spot treatment on our higher-tier plans
- Mosquitoes — parks, trails, and greenbelt-adjacent yards mean real breeding pressure; 21-day bait station and barrier treatment cycles
- Roof rats and rodents — bait box service standalone or bundled with full pest control
- Roaches, spiders, ants (general) — year-round interior/exterior barrier treatment
Our 30-Day Pest Control Guarantee
All Prickly Pear pest control service is backed by a 30-day guarantee — if pests return within 30 days of treatment, we come back at no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cedar Park
Why does Cedar Park’s rapid growth mean more fire ants?
Freshly disturbed and graded soil — common with the pace of new construction as the city expands into hill country and former farmland — is prime colonization ground for fire ant queens. Established, undisturbed yards tend to see less pressure than newer subdivisions built on recently cleared land.
Do Cedar Park’s parks and trails mean more mosquitoes nearby?
Yes — shaded, green corridors near parks and trails tend to hold more standing water and vegetation cover than open areas, so homes near them typically see more mosquito pressure than homes farther away.
