INITIAL SERVICE:
Our initial service includes a customized interior treatment to find and treat any nest sites and establish residual protection to eliminate any hidden hatch-out cycles and new invaders.
Materials may include odor-free baits and powders placed in strategic locations and out of the way of people, pets and children.
Most treatment is focused on breeding sites, attics, garages, voids and entry points.
Then a thorough exterior service is performed.
Service techniques may vary depending on the target pests and the level of activity. We will make an on-site assessment and explain the appropriate treatment plan.
EXTERIOR SERVICES:
Our regular, thorough exterior services are key to reducing outdoor pests and thereby minimizing pest invaders.
Pests in our climate are prolific and can quickly re-bound outdoors without year-round treatments.

The insects most frequently encountered in homes and offices in the Austin area originate outdoors. Successful control of troublesome invaders such as spiders, large roaches and many ant species includes some treatment indoors but it's primarily a matter of frequent applications outdoors. We recommend a thorough annual indoor treatment combined with outdoor barrier treatments every 3 months.
As experienced Certified Applicators dealing with pest control and grounds care problems since 1985 in Texas, our approach is to customize a program that addresses the concerns and tolerance levels of each individual client.
Specific products used will vary to accommodate individual circumstances and concerns.
Because the bulk of our services concentrate on an outside barrier around your house, it's more convenient for our clients. We require full access to the yard but not the physical presence of the home-owner.
