Pest Control Services in Austin
Pest control built for Austin's hot, humid climate and the unique species pressures of the Texas Hill Country.
General Pest Control
Year-round protection against ants, spiders, roaches, silverfish, and the many other species active in Austin homes.
Scorpion Control
Striped bark scorpions are common across the Austin metro, especially in newer construction and Hill Country homes. We treat cracks, entry points, and harborage areas to keep them out.
Termite Control
Central Texas has significant termite pressure. BRD treats subterranean colonies and protects your home from the structural damage they cause.
Mosquito Control
Austin's warm springs and summers fuel long mosquito seasons. We target breeding sites near standing water so you can enjoy your outdoor spaces.
Fire Ant Treatment
Fire ants are relentless across Central Texas. Our colony-targeted treatments eliminate mounds at the source and prevent rapid re-establishment.
Rodent Control
Roof rats are especially common in Austin's older neighborhoods and near green belts. We locate entry points, eliminate populations, and seal them out permanently.
Austin's Most Common Pest Problems
Austin's warm climate and rapid growth mean pest pressure from all directions. Here's what Central Texas homeowners deal with most.
Striped Bark Scorpion
Austin's most talked-about pest. They're most active in spring and summer, and especially common in new construction. Their sting is painful, in rare cases dangerous to children and pets.
Lawn NuisanceFire Ant
Fire ants are relentless across Central Texas. They build mounds fast, sting in large numbers, and re-emerge quickly if treatment doesn't reach the queen.
Structural RiskSubterranean Termite
Texas has significant termite activity, and Austin is no exception. Underground colonies work silently for years before damage becomes visible.
Long SeasonMosquito
Austin's warm climate means mosquito season stretches from March through October. The Colorado River and area creeks provide constant breeding habitat.

Pest Season in the Austin Area, Month by Month
Spring starts ant and termite activity and marks the beginning of a mosquito season that runs long in Central Texas. It is also when scorpions become active again after a relatively quiet winter.
Summer brings the heat and drought that push scorpions, spiders, and ants indoors looking for water and cooler harborage, and it is consistently the season that generates the most calls across Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties. Fall turns the focus to rodents moving toward structures, and the mild winter means indoor activity never fully stops.
New Construction on the Edge of the Hill Country
The Austin area has expanded fast into terrain that was recently undeveloped, and pests do not leave when the lots are cleared. Scorpions, spiders, and rodents that lived in the rocky ground and cedar and oak cover simply relocate into the nearest available shelter, which is often a brand new house. This is why homeowners in newer subdivisions around Leander, Georgetown, Dripping Springs, and Buda are frequently surprised to find more pest activity than they had in an older neighborhood closer to town.
The other factor is that construction leaves temporary gaps. Utility penetrations, weep holes, garage door seals, and expansion joints on a new build are all potential entry points until they settle and get sealed properly. A home in its first two or three years on the edge of the Hill Country generally needs more attention to exclusion and perimeter treatment than the same house will need a decade later.
Austin Pest Control Questions
My house is brand new. Why do I have more pests than my old one?
Because of where it was built, not how. New subdivisions on the edge of the Hill Country displace scorpions, spiders, and rodents that were already living in that rocky terrain, and they move into the nearest shelter. New construction also has gaps around utility penetrations and seals that have not fully settled. It is common, and it improves as the home ages and the exclusion work gets done.
When is scorpion season in Austin?
Activity picks up in spring and peaks through the hottest, driest part of summer, when scorpions come indoors looking for water and cooler harborage. Sightings typically drop off through fall and are uncommon in winter. Because they climb, summer sightings often happen in upstairs rooms rather than at ground level.
Does living near a greenbelt increase pest pressure?
Yes. Greenbelt and undeveloped land next to a property supplies constant harborage for scorpions, spiders, and rodents, so the pressure along that side of your home is higher. It is very manageable, but the treatment should be weighted toward the boundary rather than applied evenly around the house.
