Services
Termite Control
Our termite control specialists use advanced Sentricon and Termidor systems to eliminate colonies and prevent reinfestation. We conduct thorough inspections for mud tubes, damaged wood, and other signs of activity, followed by targeted treatments that create protective barriers around properties. With pre-construction treatments and WDO reports available, we protect Austin homes from subterranean termites year-round through eco-friendly methods.
Bed Bug Treatment
Our bed bug specialists employ heat treatments and targeted chemical applications to eliminate infestations at all life stages. We inspect mattresses, furniture, and wall voids for signs of activity, then implement follow-up treatments as needed. Using low-impact products, we ensure safe and effective eradication while providing prevention guidance to Austin homeowners and apartment dwellers.
Rodent Control
Our rodent control services address mice and rat infestations through exclusion work, baiting systems, and habitat modification. Technicians identify entry points, set humane traps, and apply deterrents to prevent re-entry. We also offer attic and crawlspace clean-up services to remove contamination while implementing long-term prevention strategies tailored to Austin's climate.
Mosquito Control
Our mosquito control specialists treat breeding sites and apply barrier sprays to shrubs and vegetation. We focus on eliminating standing water sources while implementing seasonal protection plans that reduce populations by up to 90%. With both one-time and ongoing treatment options, we help Austin residents enjoy outdoor spaces without mosquito-related health risks.
Wildlife Trapping
Our certified technicians humanely trap and relocate nuisance wildlife including raccoons, opossums, and snakes. We identify entry points, install exclusion devices, and repair structural damage to prevent future intrusions. Using live traps and deterrents, we address both immediate infestations and long-term prevention needs for Austin homeowners.

So pleased with Roberts! While here for another issue, our expert technician Jerald discovered that we had carpenter ants outside. I felt the prices were very reasonable. Jerald even called me to follow up and confirm the issue was resolved! Great customer service. Services: General pest inspection, Home inspection, Ant extermination, Rodent extermination

Gerald was wonderful. He was very responsive by phone and text. Friendly, helpful plus nice to my dog! Highly recommend. Plus Robert's was very reasonably priced. I got another quote from another company that was more than 5x the price!

Very professional and knowledgeable. German roaches most likely transferred from another dwelling. Price estimate seems very fair.

Bugs begone.or, bugs beware. If they happen to make it inside due to an open door or window etc, it's curtains for 'em. Roberts is my trusted ally in the fight against pests. I recommend them to all who ask--they make me look good for having a quality source! Also, they treated my home and gardens again right after pressure washing was completed, three days apart. "No problem Mrs. E." I trust these people. You can, too. Thanks, Roberts.

I called them on a Saturday and within 1 hour they came over and sprayed everywhere. The person they sent over was very professional and on point and we signed up for 2/year regular service with them. Would recommend them 100%. We also have pets and they spray pet friendly chemicals around the house. Service: Cockroach extermination
