New Construction Brings New Pest Pressure

Forney's explosive residential growth -- it has nearly doubled in population since 2020 -- means thousands of new homes built on previously undeveloped land. When subdivisions are carved out of fields and wooded lots, displaced rodents, fire ants, and ground-nesting insects move toward the nearest structures. New construction also creates entry points: gaps around plumbing rough-ins, unsealed crawlspaces, and fresh landscaping that attracts pests before homeowners even settle in. For Forney's young, first-time homeowner base, pest issues often arise in the first few years of ownership when properties are still establishing their perimeters.

Common Pest Concerns in Forney

  • Rodent and fire ant intrusion in newly built subdivision homes near undeveloped land
  • Wasp and yellow jacket nests forming in eaves and attic spaces of newer construction
  • Bed bug concerns in high-turnover rental and short-term housing near the DFW growth corridor
  • Roach and spider activity in homes adjacent to retention ponds and drainage areas
  • Termite pressure on wood-frame homes in developments built over formerly wooded lots
