Serving Central Texas with care and expertise since 2006
Built on the Promise of a Pest-Free Home for Every Family
Founded in 2006 right here in the heart of Austin, TX, Austin Pest Control began with a simple goal: to provide reliable and effective pest control services that put the customer first. From day one, we recognized the unique challenges that Central Texas homeowners face—from stubborn termites and resilient ants to seasonal challenges with mosquitoes and spiders. Our founding team believed that pest control isn’t just about eliminating bugs; it’s about protecting homes, health, and peace of mind.
At Austin Pest Control, our values center on integrity, professionalism, and personalized care. We treat every home as if it were our own and understand that trust is earned through consistent, high-quality service. Over the years, our commitment to these principles has fostered long-lasting relationships with our customers and helped us grow into a dependable pillar in the Austin community.
With nearly two decades of experience, our team has expanded, bringing together skilled professionals who share a passion for keeping Austin homes pest-free. Our technicians are carefully trained, background-checked, and licensed to ensure that every visit meets our stringent standards. We stay abreast of the latest pest control innovations and tailor our methods specifically to the pests common in Central Texas.
Community means everything to us. We love Austin and are proud to support local initiatives and environmental stewardship efforts that make our city a healthier and safer place to live. We believe in pest control solutions that are both effective and responsible, balancing the need to protect homes with a commitment to environmental care.
Our guarantee, “Pest-Free or We’ll Fix It,” reflects our confidence and dedication. If pests return between services, we re-service free of charge, and if the issue persists, we offer a pro-rated refund or targeted exclusion work at no extra cost. At Austin Pest Control, it’s not just about removing pests—it’s about delivering lasting comfort and security for your home and family.
