Local service in Red Springs
pest control in Red Springs
Red Springs homeowners mostly call about termites, mosquitoes, fire ants and ticks. The community sits at FM 14 and FM 16 in northern Smith County, just south of the Sabine River bottoms, surrounded by pasture and wooded acreage. Hawkins Pest Control connects Red Springs with a licensed local partner technician, usually the closest one available.
Head south from Hawkins on FM 14, cross the Sabine River into Smith County, and you reach Red Springs, an unincorporated crossroads at FM 14 and FM 16. Red Springs Baptist Church, Red Springs Cemetery and a volunteer fire department anchor the community, and FM 2710 runs about 9.5 miles from here to FM 16 near Lindale.
Mail here may carry a Tyler, Lindale or Winona address. Winona ISD counts Red Springs among the five communities where most of its residents live, though some properties fall in Lindale ISD. Homes typically range from older farmhouses to newer places on a few acres, with pasture, ponds and pine and hardwood timber in between.

Do Formosan termites matter in Red Springs?
They're worth knowing about. Texas A&M AgriLife has confirmed Formosan termites in Smith County, probably brought in with pine mulch, although none have been reported across the river in Wood County. Eastern subterranean termites remain the everyday problem here, swarming from late February through May after warm rains.
Formosan colonies grow larger and can build nests above ground, so any swarm or mud tube deserves a closer look. Go easy on deep pine mulch against the foundation, and save a few swarmers in a sealed bag. A termite inspection identifies what you have before anyone recommends a treatment.
Why do mosquitoes hit Red Springs hard after rain?
The Sabine River bottomlands north of the crossroads and the ponds scattered across local pastures hold water long after a storm. From spring until the first hard freeze, that standing water can turn into a new batch of mosquitoes in about a week of warm weather, and shady yards under oaks and pines give the adults a place to rest.
Clear gutters, flip buckets and keep pond edges trimmed short. For yards that stay buggy anyway, mosquito control runs monthly through the season and concentrates on shrubs, eaves and other shady resting spots.
What do pasture homes off FM 16 and FM 2710 run into?
Fire ants and ticks, mostly, plus scorpions and black widows in the sheds. Hay meadows and pastures throw up fire ant mounds after rain in spring and fall, while lone star ticks wait along brushy fence rows. Striped bark scorpions, the only scorpion found in eastern Texas, hide in woodpiles, stacked lumber and attics.
AgriLife's Two-Step Method fits these properties: broadcast bait across the area, then treat the mounds that remain near the house, barn and gate.

FAQ
Red Springs FAQs
Do you serve Red Springs from Hawkins, across the river?
Yes. Red Springs is about 6 miles southwest of Hawkins as the crow flies, reached by FM 14 and its Sabine River bridge. Smith County homes get the same process as Wood County ones: a price you approve first and a written service report after the visit.
My mail says Tyler, Lindale or Winona. Am I still covered?
Most likely. Red Springs addresses can use any of those post office names, and many fall in ZIP 75706. Give your road and nearest crossroads, such as FM 14 at FM 16 or a spot along FM 2710, or run your ZIP through the ZIP check page.
What does fire ant work cost on a few acres?
Fire ant yard treatment (typical lot; acreage quoted per acre) is estimated at $100–$275 for a normal lot, with bigger pastures priced by the acre. Most owners treat the house yard, garden and barn area first. The price is confirmed and approved before the partner technician starts.
Can treatments be done around my stock pond?
Yes, with care. Labels limit how products can be used near water, so the technician treats the yard, fence rows and building edges rather than the pond itself. Mention fish, livestock or a water well nearby so the plan accounts for them.
