American Cockroaches

America is big and bold and our namesake cockroaches are too. Okay, maybe they’re not the biggest in the world (no thanks, South America, you and your 3.5 inch long “Megaloblatta” roaches can stay there … FOREVER), but for most people any cockroach they see in their home is “big enough” to motivate them into action. That’s where we come in. Our general pest control service is our most popular pest treatment and targets all…

Fire Ants Still?

Even though temperatures are cooling, we’re still getting quite a few calls for fire ants. Many people associate treating fire ants with summer activities and being outdoors, but fall is actually a great time to focus on fire ants.

We often get calls about bees, particularly in the warm summer months.

One recent customer had a nest being built under an outdoor patio table which of course required intervention for everyone’s safety,…

Since then, the tawny crazy ant has spread throughout the Gulf Coast region and has been confirmed in dozens of Texas counties including: Angelina, Bexar, Brazoria, Brazos, Calhoun, Cameron,…

What To Do About Wasps!

There are a variety of wasps around Texas, with many of these also found in Austin. While they can look intimidating, most wasps are actually harmless to people unless threatened, and they help control the pest population as predators of numerous other insects. For that reason it is not necessary to treat every wasp or nest you see around your home. However, having wasps near an entrance or where people often hang out can be…

“Just Lie Down and Scream” – World’s Weirdest Bug?

After a recent customer called inquiring about pest control services, we were inspired to take a trip down a rabbit-hole of bug research. This journey ended with a new contestant, and probable winner, in the category of “Most Interesting, Ridiculous and/or Disturbing Insect.” This client mentioned how they liked tarantulas for their natural pest control benefits of preying on other insects. This then led to a discussion about the “Tarantula Hawk Wasp” — the star…

The vast majority of these spiders are harmless but a few, like the black widow or brown recluse, can inflict painful and dangerous bites.
