Local service in Wood Springs
pest control in Wood Springs
Hawkins Pest Control serves Wood Springs, an unincorporated Smith County community a couple of miles south-southeast of Lindale and about 14 miles southwest of Hawkins. Addresses here generally use Lindale's 75771 ZIP. A licensed local partner handles termites, fire ants, ticks, mosquitoes and rodents on the rural lots between Lindale and Tyler.
Honest note first: Wood Springs is one of the least documented places on our list. Public records confirm it as an unincorporated community in Smith County, at about 466 feet of elevation on the USGS Mount Sylvan map, and a county road called Wood Springs Road carries Lindale addresses. We could not find a reliable population count or founding date, so we won't make one up.
What we can describe is how the land behaves. This is rolling pine-and-hardwood country with pasture and scattered homes, the same kind of ground that surrounds the rural edge of Lindale. Soils in this part of East Texas are often sandy on top, which suits termites and fire ants. A call here is handled much like a call from the country side of Lindale.

Hawkins' rain, heat and the odd hard freeze decide which pests are busy from week to week.
What pests should Wood Springs homeowners expect?
Expect the rural East Texas lineup: eastern subterranean termites in wood near the ground, red imported fire ants in open yards, lone star ticks along brushy edges, mosquitoes after rain and mice once the weather cools. Smith County also has confirmed Formosan termites, so any swarm inside the house deserves a prompt inspection.
None of that is unique to Wood Springs, and we won't pretend otherwise. What changes from one lot to the next is the setting: a house backed by woods gets more ticks and carpenter bees, a place with a barn or hay gets more rodents, and a lot with a low corner gets more mosquitoes. A termite inspection, estimated at Free–$125, is a sensible first visit on any older home here.
How should Wood Springs owners handle fire ants and ticks on a few acres?
Focus on the ground you use. Treat the house yard, garden, driveway edges and kennel or play area with a bait-first program, and keep brush mowed back from the yard so ticks have less cover. Pastures and woods beyond that rarely need treatment unless livestock, events or heavy foot traffic call for it.
Fire ant control on a typical lot is estimated at $100–$275, with acreage quoted per acre. For ticks, the same mowed buffer plus a treatment along fence lines and woods edges does most of the work; tick control is quoted after the technician sees how much edge the property has.

FAQ
Wood Springs FAQs
Why is there so little local history on this page?
Because we could not verify much. Wood Springs appears on USGS maps and in Smith County address records, but we found no dependable source for its founding, population or landmarks. Rather than guess, we stick to what the land and the pests actually do here.
Is Wood Springs part of Lindale?
Not as far as we can tell. It is listed as an unincorporated community in Smith County, but its addresses generally use the Lindale 75771 ZIP and it sits a couple of miles from town. For scheduling it is handled just like a Lindale call.
What does a first visit cost?
It depends on what you need. A one-time general pest treatment (inside + outside) is estimated at $150–$275, and the initial service to start a quarterly plan is estimated at $125–$225, then $85–$140 per visit. Larger lots and outbuildings can raise the total, and the price is confirmed before treatment.
Do I need to be home for the visit?
For inside work, yes, or someone you trust. Outside-only visits for fire ants, mosquitoes or ticks can often be done with the gate unlocked, as long as pets are put up and the price was approved beforehand. Either way, you get a written service report of what was applied and where.
