Merkel is about 17 miles west of Abilene, near Interstate 20. It started around the time the Texas and Pacific Railway came through, under the name Windmill Town, and was renamed in 1881 for S. M. Merkel, the first settler in the area. The 2020 census counted 2,471 people.

Merkel has a mix of older homes near the old town and rural properties around it. Both see their share of bugs.

Around Merkel: Interstate 20 | Texas and Pacific rail line

Older homes in town

Older houses settle, and gaps open around doors, windows, pipes and the foundation. That's how roaches, scorpions and mice get in. Pier and beam homes with crawl spaces deserve a termite check every so often.

Out in the country

Barns, shops and feed bring rodents. Stock tanks bring mosquitoes after rain. Brush and rock piles near the house bring scorpions. Tell us about outbuildings when you call.
