We published a detailed Austin insect list previously, but here is a quick primer of pests our customers often encounter in their Austin homes: American Roaches – some call them palmetto bugs, tree roaches or just “giant…

An unofficial recent estimate puts the city population above 1,000,000 — the 11th U.S. city over one million.

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.
