pest control in Winona
Winona homes and businesses most often need help with termites, mosquitoes, cockroaches and fall rodents. The small Smith County city sits at FM 16 and SH 155, about 3 miles north of I-20, with older houses in town and acreage all around. Hawkins Pest Control connects Winona callers with a licensed local partner technician, usually the nearest available.
Winona grew from a church and a rail stop. Winona Liberty Baptist Church was organized in 1870, the Tyler Tap Railway made Winona a station in 1877, and FM 16 through town follows the old Dallas–Shreveport Road. In 1914 the Tyler-Winona Road, part of the Dixie Highway, became the county's first hard-surfaced road. The 2020 census counted 623 residents.
Winona ISD says most people in its district live in five communities: Winona, Starrville, Red Springs, Sand Flat and East Texas Center. That blend of a compact town center and rural homes on pasture and woodland shapes the pest work here.

Why do older homes in Winona need regular termite checks?
Wood that has sat near the soil for decades is exactly what eastern subterranean termites look for, and Winona's older frame houses near the FM 16 and SH 155 junction have plenty of it. Swarms usually come on warm days between late February and May. Smith County also has confirmed Formosan termites, a larger, faster-growing species.
A yearly termite inspection catches mud tubes and damage while repairs are still small. Termite inspection: Free–$125, an estimate confirmed before the visit. Keep sprinklers aimed away from siding and pull mulch a few inches back from the foundation.
What pests do Winona businesses, churches and schools deal with?
German cockroaches, mice and ants are the steady ones. Kitchens, break rooms and storage closets give them warmth and crumbs, and deliveries bring in new hitchhikers. Buildings near SH 155 also see wasps on the eaves and fire ants in parking-lot islands from spring through fall, so a fixed schedule with written records makes sense.
For a roach problem in a home or café kitchen, a German cockroach cleanout over two or three visits is the usual fix. German cockroach cleanout (2–3 visits) is estimated at $200–$425, confirmed before treatment.
When does each pest peak in Winona?
Spring brings termite swarms and fire ant mounds, summer brings mosquitoes and scorpions, and fall brings mice, rats and Asian lady beetles clustering on sunny walls. Winter is quieter, though indoor roaches and rodents keep going. West Nile virus has been reported in Smith County in recent years, which makes summer mosquito control more than a comfort issue.
Texas DSHS posts county-level West Nile counts each season. Dump standing water weekly, wear repellent at dusk and use the East Texas pest calendar for a month-by-month list.

Job stories
Typical jobs in Winona
Mice in the feed room and metal shop on a property near Winona
- What homeowners notice
- Soon after the first cold front of fall, a landowner near Winona finds chewed feed sacks, droppings across the shop workbench and a nest tucked into a stored mower's seat. Wiring under the hood of a parked truck has been gnawed as well.
- What we do
- The technician walks the barn, feed room and shop, sets traps along walls, shelves and rafters, and closes gaps at door bottoms, pipe openings and the base of the metal siding using galvanized mesh and metal flashing. Moving feed into lidded metal cans is recommended to cut off the food supply.
- What to expect
- Catches usually drop within a few weeks as the sealed openings keep new mice from moving in, and every follow-up check is recorded on the written report.

FAQ
Winona FAQs
How far is Winona from Hawkins?
About 7 miles south-southeast as the crow flies, across the Sabine River. By road you can take FM 14 south and FM 16 east, or go through Big Sandy and down SH 155. Most calls are scheduled the same day when a partner technician is available.
Is a quarterly pest plan worth it for a Winona home?
For many households, yes, because it spreads general pest work across the year instead of waiting for a problem. Initial service to start a quarterly plan: $125–$225. Quarterly general pest plan (per visit): $85–$140. Both are estimates confirmed before treatment.
Do you cover Starrville, Red Springs and Sand Flat too?
Yes. Starrville to the east on FM 16, Red Springs and Sand Flat to the west, and Owentown about 3 miles south are all in the service area. Scheduling, price ranges and the written report work the same way in each.
What should I do if winged insects swarm inside my house?
Hold off on spraying. Catch a few in a sealed bag or jar so the technician can tell termites from flying ants, note which window or room they came from, and call. Termite swarmers indoors usually mean a colony is feeding nearby, often in the walls or under the floor.
