Services
Termite Control
Our termite control specialists use Altriset, a low-impact termiticide, to eliminate colonies while protecting your property. Technicians identify entry points through comprehensive inspections, then implement preventive measures like moisture control and foundation sealing. With over 30 years of experience addressing Austin's subterranean termite threats, we provide lasting protection through regular monitoring and eco-conscious treatments that maintain structural integrity without compromising environmental standards.
Organic Lawn Care
Our Premier Lawn Program delivers year-round fertilization with slow-release nutrients tailored to Austin's climate. Certified technicians apply pre-emergent weed control twice annually, combined with spot treatments for Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia lawns. The program includes disease management for common fungal issues and preventative grub control, ensuring thick, healthy turf that naturally resists pests while maintaining water quality and ecosystem balance.
Rodent Control
We address rodent infestations through exclusion techniques and humane trapping methods. Our specialists identify entry points as small as a quarter-inch, then implement sealing solutions to prevent re-entry. Services include attic and crawl space inspections, damage assessment, and disinfection of contaminated areas. With expertise in managing Austin's rat, mouse, and squirrel populations, we combine exclusion strategies with habitat modification to create long-term rodent-resistant environments.
Mosquito Control
Our mosquito reduction program targets breeding grounds through habitat modification and low-impact treatments. Technicians apply barrier sprays to foliage and standing water areas using EPA-registered solutions that break mosquito life cycles. The service includes regular monitoring of breeding sites, vegetation management, and client education about personal protection measures. This integrated approach reduces mosquito populations by up to 90% while maintaining pollinator safety and environmental health.
Commercial Pest Services
We provide customized pest management for Austin businesses, combining quarterly inspections with targeted treatments. Services include facility assessments, customized IPM plans, and documentation for regulatory compliance. Our commercial team handles termite monitoring systems, fire ant control, and seasonal pest mitigation for restaurants, offices, and industrial properties. With 24/7 emergency response and flexible scheduling options, we ensure minimal disruption to business operations while maintaining strict environmental standards.
