You can buy consumer brand products, our customers say they’ve used Terro Liquid Ant Bait with some success. Always read the label instructions!…

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…
It’s that time of year where you probably notice tiny black ants show up in the kitchen. Or you may not! They are, after all, tiny. Despite their little size they can be quite annoying. These little specks that show up around your kitchen sink, stove, food containers or pet food are enough to irritate and ruin a morning meal. What to do? First, wipe off counters with a mild soapy cloth and water. If…
We sometimes get a question like “How long before the pests are gone?” After we are finished the pests are being handled and it starts as soon as we apply our products. But what we also say is to keep in mind the difference between “consumer” level pest control products—like a common grocery store bought roach spray—and professional level products. Most people when they see ants or a roach in their house want that pest…

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…

There are dozens of ant varieties around Austin and Central Texas. Usually ants and humans co-exist relatively peacefully, but when these tiny crawlers show up indoors, all bets are off. Ants can quickly go from a few “here and there” to “where are these &*@#’s coming from and why are there so many of them??!” As anyone who has left out a greasy morsel or a sugary crumb can tell you, ants can seemingly show…
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.
