pest control in Crow
Crow sits at US 80 and FM 778 about 6.5 miles west of Hawkins, and its most common pest calls are termites, scorpions, rodents and fire ants. Old homesteads, regrown pine woods and the rail line all play a part. Hawkins Pest Control connects Crow homes and businesses with a licensed local partner, usually the nearest available technician.
Crow began as a Texas & Pacific Railway station called Graham in 1876. Its post office, open from 1906 to 1956, took the name of a sawmill worker, Wilson Crow, and the town shrank once the timber was cut out and the mills closed. The Handbook of Texas counted about 25 residents in 2000.
What remains is a crossroads on the old rail line, where houses built after US 80 was widened in the early 1980s mix with older homesteads on wooded lots. FM 778 heads north from here through Hainesville toward Quitman, and residents have kept up a Fourth of July picnic that, by most accounts, goes back more than a century.

Why do termites still matter in Crow's old sawmill country?
The pine forest that fed the sawmills grew back, and the termites never left. Old stumps, rotting roots, fence posts and firewood give eastern subterranean termites food close to the surface, and sandy topsoil lets them reach a house sill with little effort. Swarms typically appear on warm, damp days from late February into May.
Pier-and-beam homesteads need a look underneath, where mud tubes climb the piers. Newer slab houses aren't immune either, since termites find gaps at plumbing and expansion joints. Termite treatment starts with an inspection, and the written report marks every spot where activity turned up.
Are scorpions and spiders a problem in Crow's woodpiles and sheds?
Yes, especially in summer. The striped bark scorpion is the only scorpion found in eastern Texas, and it climbs into stacked firewood, loose bark, sheds and attics. Hot, dry stretches push it indoors looking for moisture. Brown recluses and black widows share the same quiet spots in garages, barns and closets.
Stack firewood off the ground and away from the house, shake out boots and gloves left in the shed and seal gaps around doors and attic vents. Where stings or bites keep happening, scorpion control treats hiding spots outside and entry points inside. Spider or scorpion treatment: $135–$275, an estimate confirmed before treatment.
What brings rodents and fire ants to homes along US 80?
Cover and food. Highway and rail rights-of-way are long strips of grass, brush and gravel that rats and mice can use as travel lanes, and fire ants thrive on the sunny, mowed shoulders. When fall cold fronts arrive, rodents move into the nearest shed, barn or wall void.
Trim brush back from buildings, keep feed in metal bins and close any gap a pencil could slip through.

FAQ
Crow FAQs
How quickly can someone get out to Crow?
Crow is about 6.5 miles west of Hawkins on US 80, so the drive is short. Most calls are scheduled the same day when a partner technician is available, though that isn't guaranteed on busy days. Phones are answered 24/7 at (281) 326-6212.
Can businesses on US 80 near Crow get regular service?
Yes. Shops, garages and other small businesses along the highway can set up a commercial pest plan with a written report after every visit. Commercial pest plan (per month) estimates run $65–$225, depending on the building and pests involved, and are confirmed before service starts.
Do you cover homes up FM 778 north of Crow?
Yes, for homes and acreage along FM 778 heading north toward Hainesville, which is also in the service area. The road continues to Quitman, the county seat, which lies outside the area Hawkins Pest Control covers. Ask on the phone if you're unsure where your property falls.
Why do I find scorpions inside during summer?
Heat and drought send striped bark scorpions looking for moisture, and they climb well enough to come in through attic vents, gaps under doors and openings around plumbing. Seal those gaps, keep firewood outside and away from walls, and fix dripping outdoor faucets that draw the insects they eat.
