Is Year Round Pest Control Necessary?

When new customers call for a pest control quote, they often ask us how much it is to “set up ongoing treatment.” To their surprise we tell them we don’t require contracts or even recommend bi-monthly or quarterly treatments. That they ask this it just goes to show how many other pest control companies market treatment as being “necessary” all year long. But is it really the case? Most insects, and even rodents, have periods…

Best Time to Treat Fire Ants?

Fire ants are a summer-long problem around Austin and Central Texas, but there is hope on the horizon! During the hottest part of the summer, fire ants get desperate. Just like other pests they need food and water when it gets hot, and even more so as the seasons start to change and late summer shifts to fall and winter. That urgent search for food can be to a homeowner’s advantage! By baiting your yard…

How Often Do I Need Pest Control?

If you’re wondering when you need to get pest control done, the good news is it’s probably not as often as you think! Some people call us asking for information about “monthly” pest control. Unless you have a major infestation that has been ignored for years, you don’t need pest control every month. And even then professionals should be able to handle it quickly, without the need to charge you endlessly for it. Our services…

Can You Seal Out Bugs?

Is it possible to “pest proof” a house? Exhibit A: New homes with everything still sealed up well are likely to get fewer bugs than an older pier-and-beam house that may have gaps and openings all over. Exhibit B: Most bugs can crawl through millimeter-sized openings. For example an American roach can squeeze through just 3mm — about the size of two stacked pennies. Scorpions reportedly can get in through gaps as small as a…

Light Strings and Ants – Highway to the Danger Zone?

Light strings are pretty, popular and a perfect way to get wood ants onto your home! Wood ants include carpenter and acrobat ants. These are larger than sugar or fire ants, and have nests in trees, stumps, logs, rotting wood and other wood that is higher moisture and softer. Unlike fire ants they typically crawl high up on surfaces. This can include your home! Basically they will move from those outdoor locations onto your structure.…

Fire Ants In Austin

Fire ants are as “Austin” as great barbecue and live music but not nearly as beloved. Unfortunately, they are here to stay. But they can be controlled! So you don’t have to live with them in your yard. After all the rain Austin has had recently, you may start seeing fire ant mounds pop up in your yard. These piles can show up after wet periods because the ants build them to help regulate the…

How To Treat Small Ants

Small ants in the kitchen are a common scene when the weather warms up in Austin. These are most often “sugar ants” or little black ants that can be found on countertops, heading towards a sink for water or for small crumbs or sweets left on counters or in pantries. Tip: Clean up any spills and bag up any sweets like honey before treating yourself or even having professional pest control done. It can make…

Don’t Spray The Bugs!

A pest control company saying NOT to spray bugs? Yes! Here’s why: most consumer products for bugs are designed for an “instant kill.” It looks like the problem is solved with pests instantly killed so it’s very satisfying for a customer. Blast some on a gross moving bug and the bug is no longer moving (although probably still gross). But looks can be deceiving. In a few cases this isn’t a problem. For example you…

Scorpions

Scorpions typically stay outside where they hunt for insects and food, but they can get riled up by the weather or predators and head indoors for protection. If it’s simply too cold, too hot or even raining a lot they may look for a better place to lay low. Unfortunately, that better place can be your house. Even more unfortunately, they can really lay low — meaning for months at a time they will stay…

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…

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.
