Hot summers, mild winters and rocky Hill Country terrain make Williamson and Travis Counties a hotspot for a long list of pests. Know what you're dealing with — then let us handle it.
Red imported fire ants build large mounds in Central Texas yards after rain and deliver painful, venomous stings. Their aggressive defense response is dangerous for children, pets and anyone with allergies. We use targeted baits and broadcast treatments designed for Williamson and Travis County soil conditions.
The striped bark scorpion is the most common scorpion in Central Texas and is found throughout the Hill Country edge — Cedar Park, Leander, Lakeway and Bee Cave especially. They enter through weep holes, garage thresholds and AC line penetrations. Professional exterior programs and entry-point sealing are the only lasting solution.
The most persistent indoor roach in Texas. German cockroaches reproduce rapidly — one roach can produce 300+ offspring per year — contaminate food, and trigger asthma. A small problem becomes a large one within weeks. Professional treatment uses growth regulators alongside knockdown products to shut down reproduction, not just kill what you can see.
Both medically significant spiders are present across Central Texas. Brown recluses hide in cluttered garages, closets and storage boxes; black widows prefer undisturbed exterior locations. Their bites can cause serious medical problems. Our service includes web removal, harborage reduction and residual treatment in garages, attics and storage areas.
Subterranean termites are the #1 structural pest in Central Texas — causing more damage than fires and storms combined. The blackland prairie soils of Austin, Round Rock and Pflugerville are ideal termite habitat. By the time you see visible damage, the colony has usually been active for years. Annual inspection is the only reliable protection.
Roof rats and house mice are a year-round problem across Travis and Williamson County. Rats nest in attics and garages; mice slip through quarter-inch gaps in foundations and cabinets. Both chew wiring, contaminate food and reproduce alarmingly fast. Trap-only approaches without sealing entry points never solve the problem.
Central Texas mosquito season runs March through October. Asian tiger mosquitoes and southern house mosquitoes can ruin outdoor time and carry West Nile virus. Standing water in gutters, plant saucers and low spots breeds thousands per week. Monthly barrier spray treatments plus larvicide drop yard populations by 80–90%.
Paper wasps, yellow jackets, mud daubers and bald-faced hornets build nests under eaves, in shrubs, inside irrigation boxes and in wall voids across Central Texas. They sting aggressively when disturbed. DIY spray often agitates the colony before knocking it down — same-day professional removal is safer and more effective.
Fleas and ticks hitchhike on pets and wildlife and quickly establish indoor infestations and yard populations. 95% of a flea infestation is hidden in carpet, baseboards and yard soil. Ticks in the Austin area can transmit Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. We treat both the yard and interior to break the full life cycle.
Fall cricket invasions are a signature Central Texas experience — thousands can pile up on walls and in garages overnight. Silverfish thrive in humid bathrooms and storage areas year-round, damaging paper and fabric. Perimeter treatments and interior crack-and-crevice work keep both under control.
