spiders
Scorpions and spiders are very similar, so much so in fact that they are both part of the arachnid family. They have eight legs and two body segments but for most people, they’re just described as unwanted. Treating them is similar as well. They are predatory, so they hunt other insects for food. This can be good and bad of course. The good is they reduce insect population in their immediate vicinity, whether that’s ants,…
Some customers call and ask to just treat the downstairs, or just the upstairs or certain areas because that’s the only place they’ve seen pests. Perhaps it’s out of a concept of saving money, or just reducing pest control products in the home, but only treating one area doesn’t mean you’ll succeed. If your goal is a pest-free home, then we always recommend treating the entire house. There are some exceptions to that rule, but…
As the hot Austin summer continues we are seeing an increase of scorpions into Austin homes along with the typical roach, spider and ant activity. All of these are heading for shelter during this brutal summer. What should you do? First, don’t panic. Scorpions look intimidating, but they aren’t interested in attacking people unless they are provoked. What they want is water and to find other pests that they hunt to survive. Scorpions move mostly…
One of the most effective and environmental-friendly ways to prevent pests is to clear out debris along the perimeter of your home. Piles of leaves, cardboard boxes, rocks, trash or anything that clutters up the area will provide a home for a variety of pests. Removing that debris allows air flow and sunlight to dry it while also eradicating potential hiding and breeding spots for bugs. Everything from scorpions to roaches to spiders and ants…
If you are seeing a lot of pests because you haven’t had any pest control for some time, all is not lost. Sometimes just by doing a general service, you can impact a large variety of unwanted pests, especially if you do consistent treatments. For our services, consistent doesn’t mean every two or three months. That’s rarely if ever needed if you get a thorough pest control service the first time. A thorough pest service…
Pests around Austin Texas are most active in warmer months and in particular spring through summer and sometimes into the fall, depending on the weather that year.
It’s about to get REALLY cold here in Austin for the first time this year. So what happens to bugs when the temperature drops this low? Ants, as you might expect, stay underground where it’s a little warmer. They’ll stay in their colony until the weather warms again. In Austin that can be just a few days later, so it’s not impossible that you’ll see ants again even after a cold snap. But more commonly…
Hundreds of people are moving to Austin to join our large population … of bugs. People often research neighborhoods, schools and cultural attractions but a city’s insect levels and activity may not be included in that pre-move investigation. 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…
Pest control has a long history, longer than you may realize. In fact, ancient Sumerians as long ago as 3000 BC are considered to be the first to use “chemical” pest control means, employing sulfur mixtures as insecticides. Just after they discovered that, the first Sumerian Pest Control salesperson knocked on a door and said they’d have some technicians in the neighborhood so if you would like to sign up here for a quarterly pest…
Since 2010, Austin has been the fastest growing city in the United States, and is adding over 5,000 people per month on average including both births and migrations. An unofficial recent estimate puts the city population above 1,000,000 — the 11th U.S. city over one million. Before new residents arrive from out of town, they usually search for the best neighborhoods and schools. But what they probably don’t research is the bugs and pests who…

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.

"I highly recommend Aztec Organic Pest Services"
After researching pest control on Yelp last year, I called Aztec and they were willing to work with me and very understanding (without even the slightest hint of eye-rolling I received from another company) about areas I did not want sprayed – I need the spiders and ladybugs around my…
