We get a few calls here and there for beetles, usually grain beetles found in the kitchen. The best handling for them is finding and removing the source. Even if you put a spray in the area — and you don’t want any pest control products natural or otherwise, around your food products — they are often reproducing in a bag of flour or other food item so you can’t reach them. So a pest…
Treating for German roaches can be necessary no matter the time of year. That’s because unlike American roaches or other types of outdoor roach, they only live inside. So while some people, rightfully, assume they’ll see fewer roaches in the winter months, that’s mainly only true of those outdoor roaches which tend to go dormant after their increased activity during spring and summer months. German roaches though are brought indoors. This can be on old…
Our most common use for beneficial nematodes is for handling fleas in the yard. They are very effective as an all-natural and pet- and people-safe way of eliminating fleas in the lawn. But you can also use them for grubs! Just like with flea larvae, the nematodes can go after grubs. Water them down into the soil and they’ll do the rest! There are numerous places online to purchase them, or try the Natural Gardener…
Rodent activity is already starting and really this year has been a busier year than usual with rodent activity staying fairly consistent throughout the year. Perhaps the extreme heat had them trying to escape it, but whatever the reason we have had many customers call for rats and mice inside. The winter is surely to bring more, so start looking and listening around your home. Do you hear scratching or rustling overhead in an attic…
There are dozens and dozens (actually, hundreds) of ant species in Texas, but there are only a few that can become a significant concern to homeowners. The ants that get inside and typically cause problems are fire ants, carpenter ants and small black ants. The tiny black ants are usually not a major issue. They can even often be handled by using consumer brand products such as Terro liquid ant bait. In fact, trying that…
If you see ants with wings around your bathroom, kitchen or other area, those are possibly swarming ants. Swarmers are winged ants that are most commonly seen in the spring, but we’ve also seen a few in the fall when the weather changes slightly. These are not dangerous! They are simply there because they launched out from a nest (not even one necessarily close to your home) in order to try to expand their presence.…
Is there a perfect time to treat for fire ants? Most people would answer, “Yes! As soon as I see them.” And that’s definitely not wrong. But is there a season where you can really make a major impact on them, and help keep them away even longer? There is! We’re getting to the time of year when fire ants are “desperate,” so to speak. This year in particular it has been extremely hot and…
Some pest control issues can be handled well by cleaning and may not require pest control products, natural or otherwise! Here are some of those situations where you can probably handle it faster with a few simple steps rather than set up a costly and likely ineffective service: Moths These include both grain moths and clothing moths. The cleaning in this case is more “removal” of the items where the moths are breeding. This can…
Roaches have a reputation as being “indestructible” because they’ve been around on Earth so long, but that’s not really the case. Like most creatures, they need food, water and don’t do well in extreme temperatures. Speaking of ridiculous temperatures, we’ve been in the middle of a blistering run of Texas temperatures with multiple weeks of over 100 degrees here in Austin, breaking all kinds of heat records. And yes, even cockroaches aren’t fans of temperatures…

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.

"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…
