Local service in Owentown
pest control in Owentown
Hawkins Pest Control covers Owentown, the community on US 271 and SH 155 northeast of Tyler, for termites, mosquitoes, cockroaches, rodents and fire ants. A licensed local partner technician handles each visit, quotes the price before treating and writes up what was found. Same-day service is available when a partner is open.
Owentown grew on land that was once Camp Fannin, a World War II infantry replacement training center and prisoner-of-war camp that opened in 1943 and closed in 1946. After the war the Owen Development Company bought part of the camp, and the area took the company's name. The camp hospital later became the medical campus long known as the UT Health Science Center at Tyler.
Part of Owentown lies inside Tyler's city limits, and the rest is unincorporated Smith County with ZIP 75708. Winona is about 3 miles north. Housing is a mix of houses on wooded lots, fenced acreage tracts with barns along SH 155, and manufactured homes, with pine and oak woods between them.

Which pests are most common in Owentown?
Subterranean termites, mosquitoes, fire ants and cockroaches are the regular calls in Owentown, with mice and rats moving indoors each fall. Wooded lots and pasture sit beside busy highway frontage, so the area gets rural pests like ticks and wasps on one side of a fence and town pests like German cockroaches on the other.
Manufactured homes are common here, and their skirting needs attention. Gaps at corners, torn vent screens and plumbing openings let in rodents, roaches and spiders, and the damp space under the floor suits termites. Tightening skirting is one of the cheapest fixes on the property.
Is West Nile virus a mosquito concern in Owentown?
It is worth taking seriously. Smith County has reported West Nile virus cases in recent years, including 2023, according to Texas DSHS county counts. Mosquitoes in Owentown breed in any standing water from spring until the first hard freeze, and some species bite at dusk while others bite by day around containers.
Low ground, roadside ditches along SH 155 and stock ponds on acreage tracts all hold water after summer storms. Dumping buckets, tarps and plant saucers weekly does a lot. Mosquito control adds a monthly in-season treatment of shrubs and shaded resting spots around the house.
What do Owentown businesses on US 271 need from pest control?
Shops, offices, churches and food businesses along US 271 usually need a recurring plan rather than one-off sprays. German cockroaches, mice and ants ride in on deliveries and spread through shared walls, so steady monthly or quarterly service with written reports works better and gives managers records for health inspections.
The estimate for a commercial pest plan (per month) is $65–$225, depending on building size and pest pressure. With commercial pest control, the partner technician confirms that price before the first visit, works around business hours where possible, and logs every bait station and treated area.
Is Owentown inside Tyler, and does that change service?
Part of Owentown is inside Tyler's city limits and part is unincorporated Smith County, but the service is the same either way. Mail generally uses Tyler ZIP 75708. Owentown is almost due south of Hawkins, about 11 miles in a straight line, reached by FM 14 or by SH 155 through Big Sandy and Winona.
City or county, each visit includes an inspection, a price you approve, treatment by label directions and a written report.

FAQ
Owentown FAQs
Is a one-time treatment enough for an Owentown home?
Sometimes, for a single problem like spiders in a garage. A one-time general pest treatment (inside + outside) is estimated at $150–$275. Homes beside pasture or woods often do better on a quarterly plan, and either price is confirmed before treatment.
What should I do if I find German cockroaches in my kitchen?
Skip the foggers, which scatter roaches into walls and make baiting harder. Keep counters and sinks dry, note where you see them, and call. A German cockroach cleanout usually takes 2–3 visits with baits and growth regulators placed where roaches hide.
Do manufactured homes need a different treatment plan?
The pests are mostly the same, but the entry points differ. The technician checks skirting, the bottom board under the floor, plumbing penetrations and the tie-down area, then treats where pests travel. Repairing torn skirting is often what makes results last.
Should mosquito service start before summer in Owentown?
Usually, yes. Starting monthly visits in spring, before populations peak, does more than waiting until August, when ditches and ponds are already producing. Mosquito control (per monthly visit, in season, up to about 1/2 acre) is estimated at $60–$110.
