Large Animals in Your Attic

If you are hearing loud noises overhead that sound like loud steps or just heavy movement and louder than a small rat would make, you’re probably looking at a larger critter like a raccoon in your attic. Raccoons are notorious for being quite aggressive if they want to get into something. This could be your trash can, or worse! We’ve had customer reports about raccoons actually ripping open holes in houses in order to get…

Eliminating Access Points

As winter approaches it’s a good idea to look over your home for potential entry points for pests. The primary concern during winter is rodents. They will scurry into warm areas during the winter. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take much space for them to be able to get into your home. They only need a quarter inch gap or larger in order to find their way inside. Common areas where they can find entry are around…

Rodent Removal

We don’t do rodent removal but instead use a pet-safe rodent bait to handle rats and mice that have made their way into your home. The reason for this is that traps can often double or triple the expense and are usually not as reliable. With traps a technician needs to constantly return to check them, and even then rats can be quite clever! They will avoid the trap. The bait we use is very…

Large Animals

We have excellent rodent technicians that handle rats and mice including sealing up any holes and access points in your home so they don’t return. If you have a larger animal like a squirrel, raccoon or opossum, we recommend contacting a critter removal service such as Austin’s Wildlife Removal Services. But if you see small droppings or hear lighter scratching or scurrying, or just aren’t sure, then give us a call. Our rodent technicians have…

Rodent Jobs

Some people call and want ongoing rodent treatment, but depending on the situation this may not be needed. Like most of our work, we handle pest issues you are having now, not an issue you “might” have in the future. Other companies want to lock you in to a long-term contract and may use scare tactics to do so. This is particularly true for termite and rodent work, which naturally can cause the most alarm…

Do Cats Keep Mice Out of Your House?

Does having an indoor housecat keep your home rodent free? Not likely, but it may help. The game of cat and mouse has a few details involved. Many cats enjoy chasing things — that could be a laser pointer light, a feather toy or even a live creature. That can include a mouse, rat or your fingers when you sit on the couch. But if the cat is well fed and taken care of, it…

Rodents Around the Home

Rodents like rats and mice can be seen around Austin in many neighborhoods. They are a “part of nature” and with as much undeveloped areas in and around Austin they can bescurrying around neighborhoods and sometimes be found under decks or near sheds. From there the rodents may make their way into the home, but other times they just exist and don’t pose any major threat. But if you are concerned with rodent activity, even…

Worms in Your Garage?

We’ve had a few calls from customers about “worms” in their garage. In some cases these truly are worms, such as millipedes. But in a couple of situations it turns out they were seeing maggots! Ick. As gross as these are it’s not typically a major issue of concern. Flies are naturally attracted to decaying organic matter. Some types of flies are attracted to food scraps and waste, while others survive from dead rodents or…

Cold Snap? Rats!

It finally got cold again in Austin so rodents and rats are bound to come indoors more often, looking for food and shelter as the outdoor offerings are less available to them. So what are the signs of rats in your home? Here are a few things to keep an eye, ear or noise out for: Urine Odor: Rat urine has a musky odor. You can easily smell it with large infestations. Rub Marks: Oily…

Rodent Noises

Even though Austin’s winter weather has been relatively mild so far, rodents are making their way indoors. One sign of rodent activity is hearing things overhead. The most common location for rodents to scurry is in attics, and they are most active just after nightfall and before dawn. If you do hear things above you, take a moment to go outside first and observe the roof to rule out other situations, such as: low tree…

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.
