You may not want to know this, but there are a lot of different types of roaches in Austin. The good thing is you don’t need to know about them all, and most of them stay outside. But it does help to be able to spot differences between a few of them, so that you can know if you are dealing with the “really bad” type of roaches…or just a “usual” Texas-sized roach that wandered…
If you are looking to really handle roaches or spiders coming inside your home, you should treat both the inside and outside of the house. Some houses just have more pests than others. They have more openings or gaps around doors and windows, they’re in a woodsier or more natural area or there are more conducive conditions like wood piles, rocks, debris or leaves collecting that can make pests show up more often. Either way,…
Depending on your house you can treat fleas inside with no chemicals – and even do it yourself. Find out how to handle indoor flea issues.
Whatever you prefer to call them, these long-legged flying bugs have been seen everywhere in Austin recently. Despite all the nicknames, they don’t actually eat or hunt mosquitos. Some types of crane fly larvae can feed on mosquito larvae, if they happen to be in the same area, but that’s about it. They are more likely during their larvae stage to eat leaves, plants and organic material in the soil or water. So they are…
Has fire ant season already arrived in Austin? An unseasonably warm early spring has led to our technicians already spotting fire ant mounds near homes.
Swarmer ants are usually the first ants seen when bug season starts. These also include swarming termites since they show up at the same time. Of course, termites and ants are very different so read this article to get an idea of which one you may be seeing. Swarming ants are winged ants that take flight in the spring as part of an ant colony’s reproduction and expansion. Unlike ants crawling around the inside of…
Pests around Austin Texas are most active in warmer months and in particular spring through summer and sometimes into the fall, depending on the weather that year.
Some people call and want ongoing rodent treatment, but depending on the situation this may not be needed. Like most of our work, we handle pest issues you are having now, not an issue you “might” have in the future. Other companies want to lock you in to a long-term contract and may use scare tactics to do so. This is particularly true for termite and rodent work, which naturally can cause the most alarm…
We don’t provide a dedicated gnat or fruit fly treatment, however there are some steps you can take to help control them around your home. The main reason we don’t treat for fruit flies or gnats is because they are breeding from an organic source. This could be food but also areas of moisture. So even if we sprayed or treated to kill them, they would still be multiplying and return to bother you. Fruit…
Ants have been more active lately since the weather has been warmer. You can get a treatment for them, but keep in mind with the next cold snap, or longer cooler temperatures, they will likely become dormant again. Unless they are really invading your home, the best time to treat for ants is when it is consistently warm and they are visible in or around your house. One reason for this is because if they…

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…
