Finding rodent droppings doesn’t mean you are having active rodents. Some customers call when they see rodent droppings but those could be old droppings. If you aren’t sure if you have attic rodents or not, there are some simple “home tests” you can try before hiring someone to come out and inspect the home: Set a paper plate with a small dab of peanut butter on it in the attic. Take a picture of the…
Some customers call and are concerned because they are seeing one or two dead roaches around. This isn’t always a bad thing, believe it or not! First, roaches are going to probably find their way inside your home, especially in and around Austin, at some point. But keep in mind if they are dead when you see them inside, then things may be just fine. The large American cockroaches do not typically get into a…
Just before the the first cold blast and freeze happening in Austin this week, people were still reporting ants around their home. Would the freezing weather kill all the ants? It won’t! Ants can survive cold temperatures all the way down to 10 degrees F. The ground would need to freeze down to where they are nesting in order to actually kill them. So in Central Texas and most of the South, it just doesn’t…
Just like all living things, insects and pests need water to survive. So if you’re having home pest issues, a first step could be to look and see if you have water that is either accumulating or leaking around your home. A good place to start is just outside the home. Look for dripping exterior faucets, bib or hoses. Water coming out or accumulating in these areas can attract all types of pests. Inside the…
If you have nighttime noises in your walls or overhead, then you are very likely dealing with rodents. Now the question becomes, which type of rodent? Rats and mice are most common, but they’re not always the culprit. Their sounds are usually not as loud as say, a raccoon. Raccoons are much larger and of course sound bigger as well! Customers have described them as sounding like a “toddler” running upstairs. You can also check…
When you purchase a house, there are dozens of important things to track and handle as they come up. One of the most important is getting a home inspection before the purchase. The house could have major issues such as foundation concerns, electrical problems or AC system trouble. Even if all of those check out fine, it’s important to look at several other points that could impact your new living space. Here are a few…
If you are hearing noises in the attic, it can be any one of a number of causes. Or perhaps, more than one: Tree branches — this is probably the best-case scenario. We have had customers call us and get a rodent inspection when it turns out it was simply a few long, untrimmed tree branches that are scraping the roof. So if you hear some scraping noises overhead at night, talk a flashlight and…
If any home is a “hot spot” for pests, it’s the kitchen. Kitchens have everything most pests need — food, water and shelter. There are small crumbs in even the cleanest of homes and various places water can be found. And the kitchen includes a number of cracks, crevices and hiding spots for insects of all types. Roaches and ants in particular will find what they need. And where there are roaches, then you may…
There are a variety of pest droppings that can appear in the home. And many of these droppings look the same. For example, roach droppings are very often mistaken for mice droppings. Even squirrel or lizard droppings could possibly be mistaken for insect poop. This is important since you may see droppings, but no actual pest or critter. If you are uncertain of the droppings, you can take a clear, well-light and close-up picture of…

"I highly recommend Aztec Organic Pest Services"
After researching pest control on Yelp last year, I called Aztec and they were willing to work with me and very understanding (without even the slightest hint of eye-rolling I received from another company) about areas I did not want sprayed – I need the spiders and ladybugs around my…
