Are you seeing ants climb up the side of your house? If so, these are usually carpenter ants or acrobat ants. These two ant types often burrow into wood and can do so near the house’s eaves or roof line area. While these ants don’t eat wood like a termite, they do tunnel into it and make pathways and nests which, given time, can damage or weaken things. However, they are more nuisance ants than…
Scorpions are tough arachnids — not insects but more like spiders — that can end up inside Austin-area houses and cause alarm among homeowners. They can particularly be an issue in the rocky and more hilly areas of town like West Lake Hills, Bee Caves and similar areas west and southwest of Austin. They can crawl into a house and will even crawl up into attics and then show up in odd places like sinks,…
Springtime fleas in the yard can be a nightmare for homeowners. Mosquitoes are bad enough but trying to spend time outside only to be driven back inside due to flea bites can be even worse. And then there’s the risk of bringing those fleas back inside with you. If you suspect fleas in your yard, there’s a great solution that is all natural and has no risk to people or pets. If you’re not sure…
It’s that time of year where you probably notice tiny black ants show up in the kitchen. Or you may not! They are, after all, tiny. Despite their little size they can be quite annoying. These little specks that show up around your kitchen sink, stove, food containers or pet food are enough to irritate and ruin a morning meal. What to do? First, wipe off counters with a mild soapy cloth and water. If…
If you are seeing a lot of pests because you haven’t had any pest control for some time, all is not lost. Sometimes just by doing a general service, you can impact a large variety of unwanted pests, especially if you do consistent treatments. For our services, consistent doesn’t mean every two or three months. That’s rarely if ever needed if you get a thorough pest control service the first time. A thorough pest service…
Some customers ask if we “seal” for bugs. In most cases it’s nearly impossible to seal out bugs. As you might imagine, ants can get into virtually area with just the tiniest crack. Roaches similarly can wiggle through very narrow gaps. Just about every pest you can imagine get into a home if it finds a spot to do so. Even rodents like rats and mice only need a 1/4″ opening to gain entry! With…
We have excellent rodent technicians that handle rats and mice including sealing up any holes and access points in your home so they don’t return. If you have a larger animal like a squirrel, raccoon or opossum, we recommend contacting a critter removal service such as Austin’s Wildlife Removal Services. But if you see small droppings or hear lighter scratching or scurrying, or just aren’t sure, then give us a call. Our rodent technicians have…
With the recent increase in rainfall, you probably will be seeing more fire ant mounds. Fire ants create mounds after a rain as they bring up the soil to clear out the tunnels they’ve created. For a fire ant service we don’t just focus on those mounds but treat the entire yard typically. This is because there can be ants in the soil throughout the lawn, so we cover as much area as possible to…
Getting pest control typically means, at a minimum, treating around the outside of your home. But then how often should you do a treatment? If you’re treating outside, there is no reason to treat more than once every couple of months, at the most. Otherwise you are putting “product on top of product.” This means that there is product that is likely still working, so adding more doesn’t make it work any better. Being more…
It’s the time of year when small ants show up in kitchens and bathrooms. What kind of ants are they? Are they dangerous? Do you need to treat them? Let’s take a look. Tiny Kitchen Ants Tiny ants in the kitchen are often rover ants or little black ants. Some just call them “sugar ants” as a catch-all term. Regardless of the name, they show up, like many pests, in the spring and early summer.…

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…
