Grub Worms?

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…

Roof, Wall and Water Damage and Rodents

We’ve all unfortunately experienced “Icepocalypse 2021” but what about its sequel … Ratpocalypse? Eeek, hopefully not! However, with the amount of water damage, attic damage, holes and other terrible consequences coming out of the snow and ice events recently, Austin residents should be alert to rodent issues. Namely, new holes or entries which—if not patched up quickly—can result in mice, rats or other rodents finding their way inside. Typically as the weather warms, rats and…

Do You Need a Pest Control Contract?

Pest control has a long history, longer than you may realize. In fact, ancient Sumerians as long ago as 3000 BC are considered to be the first to use “chemical” pest control means, employing sulfur mixtures as insecticides. Just after they discovered that, the first Sumerian Pest Control salesperson knocked on a door and said they’d have some technicians in the neighborhood so if you would like to sign up here for a quarterly pest…

WOOD ANTS: HOW TO TREAT CARPENTER AND ACROBAT ANTS

As Austin temperatures rise, we get more calls about ants crawling on people’s homes. These are typically wood boring ants such as carpenter ants or acrobat ants. These ants do not eat wood like termites do, so structural damage is usually minimal, but they can be tough to deal with if left untreated. If left alone for too long, they can show up inside the home. Swarming Wood Ants Are you seeing ants with wings…

When Is The Ideal Time for Fire Ant Baiting?

Fire ant baits are an effective, low toxicity option for dealing with fire ants, but they need to be applied under the correct conditions. The bait should be applied when the ground is dry and the fire ants are foraging. We want the ants to take a viable amount of bait in the first couple of hours after application while it is fresh. The ideal soil temperature is between 70-95 degrees at 1” below the…

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.
