Closing up holes that rats or mice use to get inside is a crucial part of a successful rodent service. If you only exterminate the rodents, others could find their way into your home or attic and the problem is never fully solved. Not all homes can be sealed, such as older homes or structures that need more extensive repairs, but the ones that can benefit greatly from the service. So as the final step…
Fire ants have a dormancy period in the winter where they are not very active, but before that they can still be a painful nuisance in your yard. Just before winter is a great time for a “last-minute” treatment! Getting them to take bait down into the colony just before they become more inactive during cooler weather means that colony will be eradicated and not come back in the spring. Which means your yard will…

If you are seeing outdoor roaches inside, pest control is the way to go. But if you continue to see roaches even after a pest control service, and they are dead or dying, then you may have other issues. This means the pest control products are working, but the roaches are coming inside. This applies to outdoor roaches, not German roaches, which don’t live outside and are brought in by human activity and on items…
While insects are decreasingly active in the fall and certainly winter months, there are still bugs around to treat. In fact, treating some insects in the fall is an ideal time. Why? Because they are preparing already to “overwinter” or become less active, so it’s a great time to “knock them out” before they go off into relative seclusion. This is particularly true of fire ants who are far less active in the colder winter…

Beneficial nematodes are harmless to people, pets and even beneficial insects. They can also go after grubs, and potentially fire ants, in your…

Do you have fleas in your yard? Fall is a great time to treat for them using beneficial nematodes. These are tiny parasitic organisms that actually attack and kill flea larvae! The result is the flea life cycle is broken. Nematodes do no harm at all to people or pets or even beneficial insects. Autumn is an ideal time to treat for them because the ground needs to be wet and the cooler weather helps…

We specialize in long-lasting treatments using products in a way that effectively kills bugs but has no impact on people. No contracts are needed. We treat more than once a year about as often as we skip years between treatments.
Aztec’s philosophy is to provide the most effective pest control service available, having the least negative impact on people and the environment here in Austin, Texas. We use a combination of the least toxic and most effective pest control products available.
We originally offered pest control using only natural, “organic” pest control products. While we still offer that service, we now combine those products with a low-toxicity, odorless, synthetic pyrethrin (crushed chrysanthemum flower), offering a longer-lasting residual effect.
