Our Pest Control and Extermination Services in Georgetown

Ant control, ant extermination, and carpenter ant removal

Ants are perhaps the most common nuisance for homeowners in Georgetown and the surrounding Austin metro area. The shift between our hot summers and sudden heavy rains often drives entire colonies indoors in search of food and water. While fire ants in the yard are a painful hazard, tiny sugar ants in the kitchen can be relentlessly frustrating. More concerning are carpenter ants, which can excavate wood within your walls to build nests, potentially threatening the structural integrity of your home.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Trails of ants moving along baseboards or countertops
• Large red mounds appearing in the lawn after rain
• Flying ants swarming inside near windows
• Piles of wood shavings looking like sawdust
• Painful bites or stings from aggressive species
• Ants returning shortly after using store sprays
• Faint rustling sounds inside walls

How we approach treatment:

We begin by identifying the specific ant species, as this determines the success of the treatment. Our ant control strategy involves tracking the trail back to the colony rather than just spraying the visible workers. We use integrated pest management to place baiting systems that the ants carry back to the queen, ensuring total elimination of pests. We also focus on exclusion techniques for pests, sealing entry points around utility pipes and doors to prevent future foraging.

Bed bug eradication and treatment planning

Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers that can enter your home on luggage, used furniture, or clothing. Once inside, they spread rapidly from room to room. In growing communities like Round Rock and Georgetown, increased travel and moving activity can lead to unexpected infestations. Bed bug eradication is complex because these pests can hide in the tiniest crevices of mattress seams, headboards, and even behind electrical outlets. They are resilient and require a professional, methodical approach to ensure every life stage is addressed.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Waking up with itchy red welts in rows
• Tiny dark spots on bed sheets or pillowcases
• Discarded skins or shells around the bed frame
• Musty or sweet odors in the room
• Live bugs hiding in furniture joints
• Anxiety about sleeping in your own bed

How we approach treatment:

Our process starts with a meticulous pest inspection to determine the extent of the problem. We treat the entire room, not just the bed, using advanced application methods to reach deep into hiding spots. Our goal is to break the breeding cycle. We provide detailed guidance on how to prepare your home and launder linens to ensure the treatment is effective. We focus on complete bed bug eradication to restore your peace of mind.

Roach extermination and roach infestation control

Cockroaches are a major sanitation concern and a trigger for allergies. In Central Texas, we frequently encounter both the smaller German cockroaches that infest kitchens and the large American cockroaches, often called water bugs, that enter from outside. Roaches thrive in our humid environment and can survive on very little food. A roach infestation control plan is vital because these pests reproduce quickly and can contaminate food preparation surfaces. They are often found near plumbing fixtures, under sinks, and behind appliances.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Seeing live roaches when turning on kitchen lights
• Droppings that look like coffee grounds in drawers
• Egg casings found in pantries or cabinets
• Unpleasant oily or musty smells
• Roaches appearing in sinks or bathtubs
• Smears on surfaces where pests travel

How we approach treatment:

We utilize flush out agents to reveal where roaches are harboring. Our roach extermination methods include baiting systems that target the nest, along with insect growth regulators to stop reproduction. We emphasize hygienic pest removal by advising on sanitation practices that remove food sources. By addressing moisture issues and sealing gaps around plumbing, we help create an environment where roaches cannot survive.

Spider removal and indoor pest control support

While many spiders are harmless and help control other insects, finding them inside your home can be unsettling. Our region is home to species like the black widow and brown recluse, which require careful handling due to their venom. Spiders often enter homes seeking shelter from extreme weather or following a food source. Spider removal is often a two part process: removing the spiders themselves and controlling the other insects they are hunting. Reducing the general pest population usually leads to a natural decrease in spider activity.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Webs in corners near ceilings or light fixtures
• Spiders hiding in shoes, closets, or boxes
• Egg sacs found in garages or sheds
• Frequent sightings of wolf spiders on floors
• Cobwebs accumulating in basements or crawlspaces
• Concerns about venomous spiders

How we approach treatment:

We perform a thorough sweep to de-web the exterior eaves and interior corners of your home. We apply barrier treatments around windows, doors, and foundations to discourage entry. For indoor pest control, we focus on cracks and crevices where spiders retreat. We also provide advice on reducing clutter in storage areas, which minimizes the hiding spots available to arachnids.

Flea treatment and tick removal for safer living spaces

Fleas and ticks are not just a nuisance for pets; they can infest your living space and yard, causing discomfort for the whole family. The mild winters in Texas mean flea and tick seasons can extend much longer than in other parts of the country. Flea treatment is essential once they enter the home, as eggs can remain dormant in carpets for weeks. Ticks pose health risks and are often found in tall grass or brought in by wildlife passing through your property, particularly in the more wooded areas near San Marcos and New Braunfels.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Pets scratching or biting their fur constantly
• Tiny black jumping pests on carpets or furniture
• Flea bites on ankles and legs
• Ticks found on clothing after being in the yard
• Larvae found in pet bedding
• Recurring infestations despite washing bedding

How we approach treatment:

Successful control requires treating both the interior and the exterior environment. We provide interior treatments that target adult fleas and growth regulators to stop larvae from developing. For the exterior, we focus on tick removal by treating shaded areas and tall grass where these pests wait for a host. We work with you to identify wildlife paths that might be introducing these pests to your yard.

Termite inspection, termite treatment, and long term protection

Termites are a silent threat to property value in our region. Subterranean termites are abundant in the soil and can enter homes through tiny cracks in the slab or pier and beam foundations. They eat wood from the inside out, often going unnoticed until significant damage is done. Given the investment you have made in your home, professional termite inspection is critical for early detection. Termite treatment is not just about stopping current activity; it is about creating a lasting defense against future attacks.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Mud tubes climbing up the foundation exterior
• Hollow sounding wood when tapped
• Discarded wings near windows or doors
• Bubbling paint that looks like water damage
• Frass or wood pellets near walls
• Sagging floors or ceilings in severe cases

How we approach treatment:

We use advanced detection methods to assess termite activity. Our termite treatment options typically involve liquid barriers applied to the soil around your foundation or bait stations that monitor and eliminate colonies. We focus on creating a continuous protective zone. We also provide guidance on reducing wood to ground contact and managing moisture, which are key factors in termite prevention.

Rodent removal, mice extermination, and rat control

As the temperature drops or when summer heat becomes intense, mice and rats seek shelter in climate controlled homes. Rodents are capable of squeezing through incredibly small openings to access attics, crawlspaces, and pantries. Beyond the noise and mess, rodent removal is a health priority because they carry pathogens and can chew through electrical wiring. Proper rat control involves more than just traps; it requires understanding how they move and where they nest in your specific structure.

Common signs and problems we handle:

• Scratching or scampering noises in ceilings at night
• Droppings found in cupboards or along walls
• Chew marks on food packaging or plastic bins
• Nesting material like shredded paper in the attic
• Grease marks or rub marks along baseboards
• Ammonia like smells in hidden areas

How we approach treatment:

Our rodent barrier installation strategies are key. We inspect the roofline, vents, and foundation for entry points. We use humane and effective trapping methods for mice extermination to clear the current population. Once the interior is secure, we focus on exclusion techniques for pests, sealing holes with durable materials that rodents cannot chew through to prevent them from returning.
