Get To Know Stride!

To provide the best possible pest control service in the nicest possible way.

That’s not marketing talk – it’s how we actually operate. Pest control is about more than killing bugs. It’s about taking care of people’s homes, being someone they can call when there’s a problem, and making sure they’re happy with the results.

Customer-First Approach – We treat customers like family. Most of our business comes from people who’ve been with us for years. Our 4.9-star rating across more than 2,400 reviews shows what happens when you actually take care of people.

Excellence and Innovation – The pest control industry changes. New products come out, new techniques get developed, regulations update. Our team goes to Pest World (the NPMA’s big annual conference) to stay on top of what’s working and what’s new.

Integrity and Transparency – We tell you what we’re going to do, what it costs, and what to expect. Our guarantees aren’t fine print – if you call us back between treatments, we come back for free. If we can’t fix it after multiple tries, you get your money back. We’ve never had to do that, but the offer stands.

Attention to Detail – Rushing through a service call means missing things. Our five-step Stride Forward process takes the time to do it right – inspection, identification, recommendation, treatment, and follow-up evaluation.

Environmental Responsibility – We’re GreenPro certified, which means we follow Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles set by the EPA. We look for ways to solve problems without chemicals first. When we do treat, we use products designed to be safe around families and pets.

Stride Pest Control has two locations across Central Texas – one covering Austin and Round Rock, the other serving San Antonio. Both owners are licensed and certified, and we run our operations the same way across all locations.

Tyson Kearns owns and runs the Austin and Round Rock side of the business. He has a BS in Information Technology from Brigham Young University and worked in pest control for years before starting Stride – doing actual service calls, running marketing, and managing operations. That combination of field work and business experience shapes how we run things today.

Alex Randall owns and operates our San Antonio location. He holds both Termite and General Pest Control Operator certifications from the EPA and State of Texas, plus his degree from BYU-Idaho. Getting certified in both termites and general pest control takes real commitment – most techs stick with one or the other.

Between both locations, we have 9 full-time technicians, 5 people on customer service, and management staff. Everyone goes through training that exceeds what the state requires. Our Office Manager, Michael Honeycutt, earned his Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) credential from the Entomological Society of America – that takes 5+ years in the field and passing a comprehensive exam on entomology. If you look at our reviews, you’ll see customers mention techs like Ramone, Burton, Marcos, Henry, Gerrit, and Raul by name. That’s the kind of service that gets remembered.
