Fire Ants in the Spring

It’s that time of year when fire ant mounds show up. It’s also a great time to treat them! In the spring the colonies are not as big as get later, so applying bait now means you can deliver a knockout hit before it gets tougher to fight them off. Look around now in your yard for mounds popping up, especially after rain. Check gardens by moving some dirt around to see if they come…

Cold Weather and Fire Ants

Even with cold weather fire ants can stay around. Normally, the mounds become dormant in cold months. But they don’t really hibernate, and they definitely are not gone! That is, unless you took our advice and treated them in the fall. As the weather gets colder, fire ants go further down into the to stay warm and survive over the winter. Then, when the weather warms in the spring and summer, as the saying goes,…

Ants Inside?

There are dozens and dozens (actually, hundreds) of ant species in Texas, but there are only a few that can become a significant concern to homeowners. The ants that get inside and typically cause problems are fire ants, carpenter ants and small black ants. The tiny black ants are usually not a major issue. They can even often be handled by using consumer-available products such as Terro liquid ant bait. Trying that first can sometimes…

Drought, Heat and Insects!

As if the brutally hot temperatures around Austin and central Texas weren’t bad enough, it can also mean more insects. When summer is at its peak, many pests will seek out shelter, food and water. While some may go away from your home and hide in cool areas or near any remaining standing water — like mosquitoes — others will actively seek shelter closer to home, as in your actual home. Roaches, ants and even…

Please Don’t Mix DIY with Professional Pest Control

If you are the DIY type, we recommend not trying to do-it-yourself pest control then also calling a pest control company. True, you may not know you’ll need a pest control company, but before you even start working on handling the bugs, consider if you have the materials and expertise to fully handle the issue. The reason is that using consumer brand products, and not professional products and techniques, can worsen the situation. One example…

Fire Ant Mounds

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…

Weather and Pests

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…

Fire Ants in the Fall

Fire ants have a dormancy period in the winter where they are not very active, but before that they can still be a painful nuisance in your yard. Just before winter is a great time for a “last-minute” treatment! Getting them to take bait down into the colony just before they become more inactive during cooler weather means that colony will be eradicated and not come back in the spring. Which means your yard will…

Treating Pests In the Fall

While insects are decreasingly active in the fall and certainly winter months, there are still bugs around to treat. In fact, treating some insects in the fall is an ideal time. Why? Because they are preparing already to “overwinter” or become less active, so it’s a great time to “knock them out” before they go off into relative seclusion. This is particularly true of fire ants who are far less active in the colder winter…

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.
