general information
What will happen during the total eclipse on April 8th — besides the sky getting darker? In particular, does the insect world change during those few minutes? While there isn’t much official study on the subject from past eclipses, there are some reports that insect activity does in fact alter. Just like people — who often become still as they watch in awe while the passing moon blocks the sun — insects also seem to…
Read MoreNew houses typically have fewer pest issues thanks to fewer “cracks and crevices” that often appear around older homes, but sometimes that newness can lead to homeowners becoming a little too comfortable and missing opportunities to set up pest prevention techniques. In fact, moving in to a new house is the perfect time to take a few extra steps and ensure it remains as pest free as possible for as long as possible. No home…
Read MoreSometimes customers call us and they aren’t sure the types of pest control services they need or if they need more than just the main reason they’re calling. “We have fire ants, and maybe roaches, we’re not sure.” We can help with that, but we never push unnecessary services or make you sign a contract. Ever. However, if you order a service for a pest you are seeing, we are happy to consult with you…
Read MoreWe 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…
Read MoreDo you need to do anything specific to prepare for a pest control appointment? Usually not! The exception is if you have a considerable amount of small loose items around baseboards or edges of your home. For some services, some product is applied along or near baseboards so moving those out of the way can help. But our technicians are well-trained and adept at navigating through a home, so moving furniture or heavy items like…
Read MoreUnlike many pest control companies, our goal is NOT to upsell you on long-term contracts, service plans or often unnecessary monthly, bi-monthly or even quarterly visits. Our goal is to do a thorough job in one visit, so that you don’t need an additional service for a long time. This works. Some of our customers don’t call us back for two, three, five years or even more! The majority call us just once per year.…
Read MoreIf 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…
Read MoreGetting 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…
Read MoreIf 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,…
Read MoreIt’s been a mild winter, so far, but are there pests that become major problems when the temperatures drop? Most insects and bugs are more active in the spring, summer and early fall. But some pests like rodents, fleas and German roaches don’t need a “season” but can show up inside your home at any time. Sometimes ants and outdoor roaches show up inside, but much less frequently than during the hotter summer months. If…

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.

This is the second time my family has used Aztec Organic Pest Service for our home. We have small children, so we wanted to make sure the treatment was not only effective, but also safe. Every aspect of working with Aztec was great. Scheduling was quick and easy, and the…
"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…
