Pests in dry country
Midland, Texas gets little rain, so water is what the land lacks and what a house has. A slow drip under the sink, a watered flower bed against the slab or a pet bowl can do a lot to bring insects in.
Texas A&M AgriLife notes that ant colonies may move indoors in abnormally hot, dry weather, and that the largest cricket outbreaks seem to follow dry springs and summers. Other pests ignore the weather altogether. German roaches do not live outdoors in Texas and travel in groceries and boxes, and bed bugs come in on luggage and used furniture.
Two West Texas cities
The number works for Midland, Texas and for Odessa, Texas. It's for West Texas only, and it isn't for Midland, Michigan. If you're out in the county, say so on the call.
