Local service in Hoard
pest control in Hoard
Hawkins Pest Control serves Hoard, the small Wood County crossroads at US 80 and FM 1801 east of Mineola, for rodents, fire ants, termites, spiders and wasps. A licensed local partner technician inspects the house and outbuildings, explains the price before any treatment and leaves a written report. Phones are answered around the clock.
Hoard sits where FM 1801 meets US 80, about 6 miles east of Mineola in southern Wood County. The name most likely came from a local mill owner, and the railroad reached the settlement in 1873, the same year it came through Hawkins. The Handbook of Texas counted about 150 residents in 1910 and about 45 in 2000.
This is farm country: hay pasture, cattle, pine and hardwood timber, and homes set back on acreage along the highway and county roads. FM 1801 runs north from Hoard through New Hope to Mineola, and local children attend Mineola ISD. The Sabine River bottoms lie to the south.

Hawkins' rain, heat and the odd hard freeze decide which pests are busy from week to week.
What pests do Hoard homes and farms see most?
Rodents, fire ants, spiders and wasps are the steady problems around Hoard, with subterranean termites swarming each spring and ticks in the brushy fence rows. Most homes share the property with hay barns, equipment sheds and stock tanks, and those structures shape which pests show up and how often they return.
US 80 and the rail line beside it run straight through, but life in Hoard happens off the highway on fenced tracts. A visit that only treats the house misses where pests actually live, so the partner technician walks the barn, the shop and the woodpile before quoting.
Why do rodents move into Hoard barns and houses in fall?
House mice and roof and Norway rats leave pastures and fence rows when fall cold fronts arrive, looking for warm shelter with food close by. In Hoard that usually means a hay barn, a feed room or a shop, and from there it is a short trip to the house through gaps around pipes, garage doors or crawlspace vents.
Trapping alone rarely ends it on a farm property. Rodent control pairs traps with sealing the entry points found on the house, while feed stored in metal bins and hay kept off the ground shrink the food supply. The service report lists every sealed gap and trap location.
How should fire ants be handled on Hoard pasture?
Fire ants in Hoard pastures and yards respond most reliably to the Two-Step Method recommended by Texas A&M AgriLife: broadcast bait across the whole area, then treat individual problem mounds. Mounds rise fast after spring and fall rains, and on hay ground they can dull mower blades and sting people and livestock at cutting time.
A fire ant yard treatment (typical lot; acreage quoted per acre) is estimated at $100–$275 for a typical lot, and larger tracts are priced by the acre. Pasture used for grazing or hay has label limits, so fire ant control on farm ground follows them, and the technician explains each one.
How far is Hoard from Hawkins, and how is it reached?
Hoard is about 11 miles west of Hawkins, a straight run on US 80 past the FM 2869 turnoff and the Crow community at FM 778. Mail usually carries the Mineola ZIP 75773. Most calls are scheduled the same day when a partner technician is free, and the phone is answered 24/7.
If you live up FM 1801 toward New Hope, give the county road and closest landmark; rural addresses there are hard to spot after dark.

FAQ
Hoard FAQs
My address says Mineola. Is Hoard in your service area?
Yes. Hoard mail generally goes through Mineola's ZIP 75773, but the crossroads is about 11 miles from Hawkins on US 80 and inside the service area. Tell the dispatcher you are near US 80 and FM 1801.
Is there anything I should avoid before the technician comes for rodents?
Avoid scattering loose poison bait around the barn or house. Dogs and barn cats can eat it or eat poisoned rodents, and baited mice often die inside walls. Leave droppings and gnaw marks in place so the technician can read where the traffic is.
Can a horse barn be treated without bothering the animals?
Usually, with some planning. Tell the dispatcher about horses, cattle or chickens on site. The partner technician chooses products labeled for that setting and explains how long to keep animals out of treated areas.
Do brown recluse spiders live in Hoard homes?
They can. Brown recluse and black widow spiders favor undisturbed spots like boxes in a shop, folded tarps and stacked lumber, and they ride indoors in stored items. Shake out gloves and boots kept in outbuildings, and call if you see them inside regularly.
