Local service in Pine Springs
pest control in Pine Springs
Hawkins Pest Control serves Pine Springs, the Smith County community on US 271 and SH 155 at Tyler's northeast edge, about 14 miles south-southwest of Hawkins. An independent, licensed local partner treats termites, including the Formosan species found in Smith County, plus fire ants, mosquitoes, roaches and rodents. Same-day visits are common when a technician is available.
Pine Springs got its name from a large spring in the pines near its first schoolhouse. Families including the Shamburgers settled here in the 1840s, and in 1881 trustees bought land for a building that served as both school and church. Orchards carried most farms, the Smith County Canning Company opened a factory in 1891, and the post office that followed in 1894 was simply called Fruit.
Tyler has since grown out to meet it, and part of Pine Springs now lies inside the city limits. The old Pine Springs school district was later folded into Tyler ISD. Expect a mix of older rural homes and newer houses closer to Tyler, with pine and hardwood still standing between many of them. Sources list both 75706 and 75708 for the community, and addresses here may use either one.

Hawkins' rain, heat and the odd hard freeze decide which pests are busy from week to week.
Are Formosan termites a real risk in Pine Springs?
They are worth taking seriously. Texas A&M AgriLife has confirmed Formosan termites in Smith County, probably carried in with pine mulch, while Wood County has no reported population. Formosan colonies grow much larger than native eastern subterranean colonies and can do damage faster, so mulch beds and damp wood near the foundation deserve a closer look here.
Formosan swarmers usually fly at dusk in late spring and gather around porch lights, unlike the daytime swarms of the native species. Save a few wings in a sealed bag for the technician. A liquid termite treatment for a typical home is estimated at $1,000–$2,800, and termite control with a termite bait system installation at $1,100–$2,400, both confirmed before work starts.
When are mosquitoes worst in Pine Springs?
From late spring through early fall, and again after any warm, rainy stretch until the first hard freeze. Shaded, low ground under pines and hardwoods holds water longer than open lawns, and Smith County has reported West Nile virus cases in recent years, including 2023. Clearing standing water on your own lot is the first fix.
Tip out buckets, plant saucers and kiddie pools every few days, and look for water trapped in tarps, boats and clogged gutters. A monthly visit for mosquito control in season is estimated at $60–$110 for up to about half an acre. The technician treats the shaded shrubs, fence lines and crawlspace openings where adult mosquitoes spend the day.
How do in-town and rural lots in Pine Springs differ?
Lots inside Tyler's limits mostly fight fire ants in lawns and along sidewalks, while the larger rural tracts outside town add ticks, wasps in outbuildings and mice in sheds. The technician adjusts the plan to the property, and larger lots, barns and outbuildings raise the total, which you approve before treatment.
For lawns, AgriLife's Two-Step Method (bait broadcast across the yard, then individual treatment of mounds that cause trouble) keeps fire ant control from turning into a weekly chore; a typical lot is estimated at $100–$275. On wooded acreage, keep a mowed buffer between brush and the yard and check pets after they roam.

FAQ
Pine Springs FAQs
Is Pine Springs part of Tyler?
Partly. Some of Pine Springs lies inside Tyler's northeast city limits and the rest is unincorporated Smith County. Either way, Hawkins Pest Control can send a partner technician; give the call taker your street and nearest highway, US 271 or SH 155, so the visit is routed correctly.
Which ZIP code does Pine Springs use, 75706 or 75708?
Both show up. Wikipedia lists 75706 for Pine Springs, while census ZIP boundaries place the community's center in 75708, so neighbors may use different ZIPs. If you are unsure, use the ZIP check page or just call.
How far does the technician travel to reach Pine Springs?
Pine Springs is roughly 14 miles from Hawkins in a straight line, on the far side of the Sabine and I-20. Most calls are scheduled the same day when a partner technician is available, and the phone is answered 24/7, weekends included.
What should I do if I see winged termites inside at night?
Collect a few in a sealed bag or jar, vacuum the rest and note where they came from, such as a window, light fixture or bathroom. Night swarms near lights can point to Formosan termites, which are confirmed in Smith County. Call for an inspection; it is estimated at Free–$125.
