What's different about pests in Cibolo? #
A farm town that became a fast-growing suburb. Cibolo voted to incorporate in 1965 and takes its name from the creek that runs through the area. The city's history page cites Census counts of 440 people in 1970 and 3,035 in 2000. The Census Bureau now estimates 37,816 residents as of July 2024, a 17.2% gain over the 2020 count of 32,262 (Census estimates). The city sits in the far western corner of Guadalupe County, along FM 78 and FM 1103, as part of the Metrocom group of cities near Randolph Air Force Base.
Houses built mostly since 2000. Census survey data for 2020 to 2024 counts 11,650 homes, and only 5.0% predate 1980. Another 36.9% went up between 2000 and 2009, 36.8% between 2010 and 2019, and 7.5% in 2020 or later; 90.1% are single-family detached (Census ACS). That much fresh soffit and covered patio gives spring paper wasp queens plenty of places to start combs. Homes from the 2000s boom now have trim, fences and decks old enough to weather, which is the wood carpenter bees look for.
Ponds, greenbelts and bar ditches between neighborhoods. Cibolo's Public Works Drainage Department maintains more than 800 acres of retention ponds, greenbelts and bar ditches, and it posts a Flash Flood Zones map during heavy rain (City of Cibolo Drainage). The city's FAQ adds that most developers build detention ponds that hold water and release it slowly. Grassy banks are where yellowjackets dig unseen nests, damp edges give mud daubers building material, and standing water anywhere can breed mosquitoes. We did not find a city mosquito program page, so emptying containers and treating your own yard fall to you; our mosquito guide covers the basics.
Wildlife pressed against new subdivisions. The city's FAQ calls Cibolo home to an abundant wildlife population, listing squirrels, opossums, raccoons, skunks, bats, snakes, nutria and deer. Its wildlife page says land development is pushing those animals out of open space and closer to homes, and that Animal Services officers help with removal but do not go into attics, move furniture or pull up decking; they can give references instead (City of Cibolo Wildlife). Animal Services is also the local rabies control authority, at 108 Cibolo Drive, 210-659-4851. Texas DSHS reports that all six rabies-positive animals in Guadalupe County in 2024 were bats, and the one in 2025 was a dog. Pest Trappers handles raccoons, opossums and skunks, including exclusion work, under Texas Parks and Wildlife rules and the state rabies quarantine, which bars residents from moving a live raccoon or skunk. See our wildlife guide.

How service works #
Our base is 7319 Brandyridge, San Antonio, TX 78250. Once you reach out, the office sets the appointment and confirms the time. On site, the technician looks things over before doing anything, walks you through the findings and the choices, and uses any product only as its label directs. The quote follows that inspection. When honey bees are involved, you will also hear whether a registered beekeeper might be able to take the swarm or colony out alive.
The business is licensed as Pest Trappers LLC (TPCL #0887549) by the Texas Department of Agriculture for structural pest control, covering general pest and termite work. Travis Lambert, the owner, is the certified applicator.
