Austin Hildreth was awesome when he came to check and replace the termite baits station in our home; he was very professional and kind. Thank you Bulwark for having him assist us. Great customer service.

Kyle Winder-Davis did our bi-monthly service and demonstrated tremendous attention to detail. We have both scorpion and rodent challenges living near undisturbed desert and Bulwark’s approach has been very good. With that said, Kyle distinguished himself even further by his diligence in seeking out potential problem areas. He also performed an interior treatment on the “front lines” where scorpions try to get in our walk-out basement door. We appreciated Kyle’s continuation of great service from Bulwark.
Structural Pest Control
Pest control is the treatments and methods used to keep pests out of homes, away from crops and wood supporting structures. Pests are any critter deemed by a human that negatively impacts the environment. The differing tolerance levels for pests will determine the importance of pest management per individual. Whether organic, all-natural, green, synthetic, or other, pesticides are the primary form of pest management used in commercial properties and homes today.

Lawn Pest Control
Lawn pests will never enter a home or structure but will infest a homeowner’s ground. Austin deals with fire ants, which rarely invade homes but are still unwanted even in the yard. Other lawn pests in Austin which remain exclusively outdoors are gophers, moles, ground squirrels, grubs, and several species of beetles. All of these will damage lawns wreaking havoc on beautifully manicured yards.

Agricultural Pest Control
With many farms surrounding the greater Austin area, agricultural pest control is vital to protecting Texas crops. From field crops to orchards to vegetables and nuts, the Texas Department of Agriculture regulates the use of commercial and noncommercial pesticides. Ag. Pesticide applicators have nine different categories in which they can be certified. The categories cover areas both inside and outside of crops. Farms even use pesticides for the protection of livestock and farm animals. Nurseries (plant farms) are included in the agricultural pest control category and require their own unique applicator’s license.

In-Wall Treatment
In-wall pest control treatments are used to place products inside a building’s walls. Pests infest the wall voids and use electrical wiring, plumbing, and coax cables as highways to travel from room to room without exposing themselves. An in-wall treatment places pest control products in those paths and voids to eliminate the pests a homeowner is not seeing.

Crack and Crevice Treatment
Cracks and crevices provide pests with protection. Have you ever tried to kill a spider in a corner?
Sometimes the dang walls just don’t let a shoe do its job. Treating the cracks around a bathroom’s plumbing, under a kitchen’s dishwasher, and window seals with powders and sprays appropriate for the location and problem pest is a significant step in an IPM plan.
Baiting
A bait is a pest control product disguised to be desirable to the target pest. Most baits appear as food to the pest. These baits are adequate, as certain pests will not cross over sprays or dust that they do not recognize. With their super sniffers, ants will cautiously avoid most pesticides. Finding the right bait for a foraging ant to take back to the colony requires a pest professional to identify the ant, know its diet, and not overdo the application. Despite being a slower process, baits are a fantastic method of pest management when done right.
Trapping
Traps are regularly used for rodent control, animal control, and snake control. Snap traps and glue traps are the most common. Rattlesnakes are a major concern in the Austin area. You may be surprised at a few other trapping methods available; have a chat with us about our scorpion traps.
Exterior Power Spray
The exterior power spray is the key to long-term pest control for your home. If the outer barrier is maintained correctly, it will prevent bugs from breaching the barrier and infesting the inside of your home. The ideal scenario is that the exterior protective barrier keeps bugs outside, and therefore you never need pesticides within your home again.
Yard Spot Treatments
Several water spots within a yard will attract bugs. Hitting the watering holes prevents the flocks and herds of wild bugs from growing and overflowing into your home. Other yard pests, such as fire ants, will require immediate treatment regularly. Fire ants mate and then fly away to establish new colonies; hence no method prevents them from entering your yard, and spot treatments are the only way to get rid of Fire ants once they build their ant mounds.
Getting an Austin Pest Control Quote
When homeowners feel the woes of Texas-sized pest problems and seek a way to find peace and relief, as they turn to a professional, the first question they ask is, “How much does pest control cost?” There is no cut-and-dry answer to this question. But most consumers believe the cost to be slightly higher than it is. However, aiming to get the lowest price without addressing the extent of the problem will often lead to disappointment and headaches when the bugs don’t go away. An accurate pest control quote will require knowing the current pest infestations, the square footage of a home, and the house’s location (see if it is already near an existing route).
Hiring Your Exterminator
Getting a quote is just the beginning. Comparing exterminators with prices can be more daunting. A few tips for hiring the right professional:
1 – What do their online reviews say? Check Yelp, Google, and Facebook.
2 – Does the company drug test and background check their technicians?
3 – What are their Guarantees? Check for a Money-Back Guarantee for Free Retreats if a problem persists, and for a No-Show Refund (your time is valuable, and sometimes a tech runs late, gets stuck in traffic, or gets sick. But you should still be covered.)
Do you like them? 4 – Do you feel right about the company? Experience is essential, as well as the price, but you will also be letting them into your home. With the number of pest control services from Round Rock to Bee Cave to Pflugerville, you should find a bug guy you like.
