Local service in Shady Grove
pest control in Shady Grove
Hawkins Pest Control serves Shady Grove in Smith County, just south of FM 14 and I-20 north of Tyler, for mosquitoes, termites, ants, spiders and ticks. Shamburger Lake to the east and Hitts Lake to the west keep moisture pests busy. A licensed local partner does the work, and pricing is approved before treatment.
This page covers the Shady Grove in central Smith County, about 3 miles north of Tyler, not the Shady Grove community on FM 1002 in Upshur County. It sits just south of where FM 14 crosses I-20, between Shamburger Lake on the east and Hitts Lake on the west.
Shady Grove is listed by the Texas Freedom Colonies Project, and records show a Shady Grove school with two teachers and 78 Black students in 1936. That school joined Pine Springs ISD by 1952, which later became part of Tyler ISD. Older maps marked Shady Grove Church and a cemetery among scattered farms; today there are homes on wooded lots and small acreage.

Which pests cause the most trouble in Shady Grove?
Mosquitoes, subterranean termites, ants and spiders lead the calls in Shady Grove, with ticks along wooded edges and fire ants in nearly every open yard. The two lakes on either side keep the air humid and give mosquitoes steady breeding water, while wooded lots supply the damp wood and leaf litter that termites and spiders favor.
Homes here range from older frame houses to newer slab builds, and the slab houses are not immune. Termites climb through cracks, plumbing gaps and the soil line along brick veneer, so the inspection covers both kinds of foundation.
Do Shamburger Lake and Hitts Lake mean more mosquitoes?
Yes. Lakeside and low-lying Shady Grove properties usually see more mosquitoes than drier ground, especially after rain. Shallow, weedy margins, coves and nearby ditches hold the still water larvae need. Smith County has also reported West Nile virus cases in recent years, per Texas DSHS, so cutting down bites is worth the effort.
Monthly in-season mosquito control treats shrubs, porch undersides and other shaded resting spots around the house. Mosquito control (per monthly visit, in season, up to about 1/2 acre) is estimated at $60–$110, confirmed before the first treatment; bigger lakefront lots are quoted individually.
Can landscape mulch bring termites to a Shady Grove yard?
It can help them. Texas A&M AgriLife has confirmed Formosan termites in Smith County and believes that population probably arrived in pine mulch. Eastern subterranean termites are still the common species here, but deep mulch piled against a slab or siding keeps soil damp and hides mud tubes from view.
Keep mulch pulled back from the foundation and below the top of the slab, and never let it bury the weep holes in brick veneer. If swarmers appear indoors, save a few in a bag. A termite inspection identifies the species and recommends a liquid barrier or bait stations based on what is found.
How does a technician reach Shady Grove from Hawkins?
Shady Grove is about 11 miles south-southwest of Hawkins and one of the simplest drives in the service area: south on FM 14, across the Sabine River, to I-20 at exit 562. The community sits just south of that interchange. Most addresses use Tyler ZIP 75706, and same-day service happens when a partner is free.

FAQ
Shady Grove FAQs
Which Shady Grove does Hawkins Pest Control serve?
The Smith County one, just south of FM 14 and I-20 north of Tyler. A different Shady Grove sits on FM 1002 in Upshur County. If you are unsure which you live in, give the dispatcher your road and ZIP and they will sort it out.
Should I worry about termites in a newer slab house?
Yes, newer slabs still get termites. They enter through expansion joints, plumbing penetrations and cracks, often behind brick veneer where tubes are hard to see. Regular inspections, plus keeping soil and mulch below the brick line, catch problems early.
How much does general ant treatment cost near Shady Grove?
General ant treatment (inside + outside) is estimated at $135–$250. Fire ant work on a larger yard is priced separately. The partner technician confirms the price, and you approve it before any treatment.
Do I need to be home for an outdoor treatment?
Not always. Outdoor mosquito, fire ant or perimeter work can often be done with gate access and pets kept inside. The technician leaves the written service report and explains how long to keep pets off treated areas.
