Rodent Pressure Profile
McGregor — West McLennan County With Agricultural and Industrial Pressure
McGregor is the largest community in west McLennan County, approximately 20–25 minutes from Waco along US-84. The town's character is a blend of historic downtown and established residential neighborhoods surrounded by agricultural land — cotton fields, cattle operations, and hay pastures that create persistent field-edge rodent pressure on residential properties near the town margins. McGregor's historic downtown has pre-war commercial building stock with the masonry construction and weep-hole inventory typical of that era; the surrounding residential areas range from 1930s pier-and-beam to 1990s slab-on-grade, each with its corresponding entry-point profile. The SpaceX Boca Chica facility's test site north of McGregor has brought increased industrial activity to the west county corridor, adding commercial and light-industrial rodent pressure to what had been primarily an agricultural-residential mix. We service the full range of property types in McGregor — residential, commercial, and agricultural — with same-day availability for most calls placed before noon.
