Austin Metro - Travis County, TX
Pest Control & Lawn Care in Austin, TX
From the bungalows of Hyde Park to the rebuilt streets of Mueller and the live-music corridor along South Congress, Austin is a city of distinct neighborhoods, and each has its own pest story. Root Home Services covers all of them with pest control, lawn care, termite, and mosquito service handled by technicians who actually live here in Travis County, not a national call center. Austin summers bring relentless heat that bakes St. Augustine lawns and stresses turf into chinch-bug territory, while the greenbelts, Lady Bird Lake, and Barton Creek keep mosquitoes active for much of the year. Add the fire ants that thrive in our clay and the occasional scorpion drifting in from the western hills, and you've got a yard that needs a local touch. We build every plan around your property and your block. Call (512) 222-5423 for a free quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who does pest control in Austin, TX?
Root Home Services provides pest control across Austin and Travis County - from Hyde Park and Mueller to South Congress and Zilker - with technicians who actually live here, not a national call center. We're family-owned and veteran-owned, six years in business, and you can reach a local Austin team at (512) 222-5423.
Why are there scorpions in my Austin house?
Scorpions get into Austin homes because much of the area sits on Hill Country limestone, and they slip through tiny gaps in the foundation, weep holes, and door sweeps looking for cool, dark shelter - especially in summer. Root seals up those entry points and treats the perimeter so they stop getting in. Call (512) 222-5423 for same-day help when you've spotted one indoors.
Does Root Home Services offer same-day pest control in Austin?
Yes - Root offers same-day pest control in Austin when you call early in the day, because our technicians are based right here in the metro instead of dispatched from out of town. That local footprint is how a neighbor in East Austin or Cedar Park can often get service the same day they call (512) 222-5423.
Why does my Austin lawn struggle in the summer?
Austin's relentless summer heat bakes St. Augustine lawns and stresses turf into chinch-bug territory, while the greenbelts and creeks keep moisture-loving pests active. Root's six-week lawn visits feed the grass and catch heat, chinch-bug, and fungus damage early so your yard survives the worst of August.
Are mosquitoes bad in Austin?
Yes - Lady Bird Lake, Barton Creek, and the greenbelts keep mosquitoes active in Austin for much of the year, not just a few weeks. Root targets the shaded, standing-water spots where they breed around your property so your yard is usable again, with treatments that are safe for People, Pets & Plants.
Does Root treat termites in Austin?
Yes - Root provides termite inspection and treatment throughout Austin alongside pest control and lawn care, all from local Travis County technicians. Austin's mix of limestone and clay soils gives subterranean termites plenty of footholds, so catching them early with an inspection protects your home before damage spreads.
Is Root Home Services local to Austin?
Yes - Root is Austin-based and family-owned, and our whole wedge is that we live in the same neighborhoods we serve. There's no national call center between you and us: you call (512) 222-5423 and reach people who know Austin's pests, seasons, and neighborhoods firsthand.
