Cockroach Control in Austin, TX

Few pests trigger as much disgust — or as many health concerns — as cockroaches. Austin's mild winters allow American and smokybrown roaches to live outdoors year-round, while German cockroaches thrive in kitchens, restaurants, and apartments across the city. We eliminate active infestations and keep them from coming back.

Species we treat in Austin

  • German cockroach (small, indoor breeders)
  • American cockroach (large 'palmetto bugs')
  • Smokybrown cockroach
  • Oriental cockroach
  • Brown-banded cockroach

Signs of an infestation

  • Small dark droppings that look like coffee grounds or black pepper
  • A musty, oily odor near cabinets or appliances
  • Live roaches running for cover when lights turn on
  • Egg cases (oothecae) tucked into cracks and crevices
  • Smear marks along walls and behind appliances

Why this matters in Austin

Roaches carry pathogens linked to salmonella, E. coli, and asthma triggers. In Austin's older homes around Hyde Park, Travis Heights, and downtown, roaches enter through plumbing penetrations, gaps under doors, and shared walls in multi-family buildings.

Our treatment approach

We use gel baits, insect growth regulators (IGRs), and crack-and-crevice treatments — never just a baseboard spray. For German cockroach infestations we follow up at 14 and 30 days to break the breeding cycle. All products used inside the home are EPA-registered and applied per label.
