Our Pest Control Services in Georgetown
Georgetown sits at the edge of the Texas Hill Country in Williamson County, and the mix of limestone terrain, hot summers, and steady growth creates year-round pest pressure for homeowners. Stride Pest Control provides residential pest control, insect control, and targeted pest treatment across Georgetown TX – including rodent control, mosquito control, bed bug treatment, and termite inspections. If you need a Georgetown exterminator who knows Central Texas bugs, you’re in the right place.
Stride is a family-owned company founded in Round Rock in 2013 by Tyson Kearns. Our Georgetown pest control service members follow the Stride Forward IPM process built on integrated pest management principles from the EPA. Every technician is licensed through the Texas Department of Agriculture, insured, and background-checked. We hold an A+ rating from the BBB with zero complaints and were voted Best Pest Control Company in the Best of Round Rock 2025 awards. All products are pet-safe, and we offer service agreements, not contracts – with a re-service guarantee on every visit.

Georgetown Ant Control
Fire ants are the number one ant complaint we handle in Georgetown, TX. The sandy loam and clay soils across Williamson County give them exactly what they need to build large mound colonies, and they’re aggressive when disturbed – especially around yards where kids and pets play. You’ll also run into carpenter ants around older homes with moisture issues, and odorous house ants trailing into kitchens during the hotter months. Our ant control approach follows the Texas A&M AgriLife two-step fire ant control method adapted to your specific property conditions.
- Full yard inspection to map active mounds and trailing patterns before any product goes down.
- Broadcast bait application across the yard to knock down the colony population at the source.
- Direct mound treatment for high-traffic areas near walkways, play areas, and foundations.
- Interior crack-and-crevice treatment along baseboards, plumbing penetrations, and entry points.
- Recurring service visits to break the reinfestation cycle and keep new colonies from establishing.
Georgetown Cockroach Control
Georgetown homeowners deal with two main roach problems. American cockroaches (the big ones people call waterbugs) come up through plumbing and storm drains, especially during heavy rain events. German cockroaches are the smaller, faster species that infest kitchens and bathrooms and reproduce quickly indoors. Both carry bacteria and shed allergens that can trigger asthma in kids and adults. According to the cockroach biology and management guide from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, cockroach control starts with species identification because treatment methods differ between the two.
- Species identification to determine whether the infestation is German, American, or smoky brown roaches.
- Gel bait placement in cracks, hinges, and voids where roaches feed and hide.
- Dust application behind outlets, switch plates, and wall voids for long-term residual control.
- Exterior perimeter treatment to reduce entry from storm drains, mulch beds, and foundation gaps.
- Follow-up monitoring on your next service visit to confirm the population is collapsing.
Georgetown Rodent Control
Rodent activity picks up in Georgetown TX every fall as temperatures drop and mice and roof rats look for warmth, food, and water inside homes. New construction in areas around Georgetown pushes rodents out of open land and into existing neighborhoods. A single mouse can squeeze through a gap the size of a dime, and roof rats climb utility lines to access attic spaces where they chew wiring and contaminate insulation. The EPA guide to rats and mice outlines the structural damage and disease risks rodents bring into a home, which is why we treat every rodent job with both interior trapping and exterior exclusion.
- Thorough attic and crawlspace inspection to identify entry points, droppings, and nesting sites.
- Interior snap-trap placement in active runways – no poisons inside your living space.
- Exterior exclusion work sealing gaps around pipes, vents, roof returns, and A/C lines.
- Bait station installation along the exterior perimeter to intercept rodents before they reach the structure.
- Follow-up inspection to confirm activity has stopped and all entry points are holding.
Georgetown Mosquito Control
Georgetown’s warm, humid climate and proximity to the San Gabriel River create ideal mosquito breeding conditions from March through November. Standing water in flower pots, gutters, birdbaths, and low spots in the yard is all it takes. Mosquitoes aren’t just a nuisance – they carry West Nile virus, Zika, and other diseases that are real concerns in Central Texas. The CDC’s mosquito-borne disease prevention guidance covers the health risks in detail. Our mosquito control program uses a two-prong approach that targets both adult mosquitoes and larvae to break the breeding cycle on your property.
- Property walkthrough to identify standing water sources and shaded resting areas where mosquitoes harbor.
- Barrier spray application to foliage, fence lines, and shaded zones where adults rest during the day.
- Larvicide treatment in standing water that can’t be drained – catch basins, decorative ponds, and drainage areas.
- Recurring monthly treatments through mosquito season to maintain the barrier and prevent population rebound.
Georgetown Bed Bug Control
Bed bugs are hitchhikers. They travel on luggage, used furniture, and clothing, and Georgetown’s growing population means more people moving in – and sometimes bringing bed bugs with them unknowingly. These insects hide in mattress seams, headboard joints, and baseboards during the day and feed at night. By the time most people notice the bites, the infestation is already established. The CDC’s bed bug identification and infestation guide explains why professional treatment is the recommended approach. Over-the-counter sprays rarely reach the places where bed bugs actually hide.
- Detailed inspection of mattresses, box springs, bed frames, nightstands, and baseboards for live bugs, eggs, and fecal spotting.
- Targeted chemical application to cracks, seams, and voids where bed bugs harbor.
- Follow-up inspection at 10-14 days to check for surviving eggs that may have hatched.
- Second treatment if any activity is found during follow-up – included at no extra charge.
Georgetown Termite Control
Subterranean termites are the primary species in Georgetown and across Williamson County. They build mud tubes from the soil to reach wood framing, and they can work through a structure for months before anyone notices. The combination of clay-heavy soil and warm temperatures in Central Texas gives termites a long active season. Newer homes in Georgetown’s expanding neighborhoods are just as vulnerable as older ones if the builder-installed treatment has worn off. The subterranean termite identification and control guide from Texas A&M AgriLife covers the signs to watch for. Stride holds Termite category licensing under TPCL #667951 and provides full inspections, treatments, and Wood Destroying Insect Reports (WDIR) for real estate transactions.
- Comprehensive termite inspection of the foundation, slab, garage, and any wood-to-soil contact points.
- Bait station installation around the structure’s perimeter to intercept foraging colonies.
- Liquid barrier treatment where needed to protect high-risk areas of the foundation.
- WDIR reports for Georgetown home buyers, sellers, and refinancing requirements.
- Ongoing monitoring through your service agreement to catch new activity before damage spreads.
Georgetown Spider Control
Most spiders in Georgetown homes are harmless, but two species matter: the brown recluse and the black widow. Brown recluses favor undisturbed areas like closets, storage boxes, and attic spaces. Black widows tend to build webs in garages, meter boxes, and along the foundation. The limestone terrain on the west side of I-35 gives both species plenty of habitat near homes. The Texas A&M Field Guide’s brown recluse identification page describes the violin marking and six-eye pattern that distinguish this spider from common look-alikes. If you’re seeing spiders regularly inside, that usually means there’s a larger pest population feeding them – visit the Stride Pest Control homepage to learn about our general pest management plans.
- Interior inspection of closets, storage areas, and undisturbed spaces where recluses hide.
- Web removal and residual treatment along eaves, window frames, and garage entries.
- Crack-and-crevice application around baseboards, door frames, and utility penetrations.
- Exterior perimeter spray to reduce the insect prey that draws spiders to the structure.
- Glue board monitoring in attic and garage spaces to track ongoing activity between visits.
Georgetown Scorpion Control
The striped bark scorpion is the most common species in Georgetown and throughout Central Texas. These scorpions are active at night and enter homes through gaps under doors, around plumbing, and through weep holes in brick. Properties near the Hill Country terrain on the west side of Georgetown see the most activity. The Texas A&M Field Guide to Texas scorpions covers identification and regional distribution.
- Nighttime UV inspection to locate active scorpions around the foundation and entry points.
- Residual treatment along the foundation, door thresholds, and weep holes.
- Interior crack-and-crevice application in bathrooms, closets, and utility rooms.
- Ongoing pest management to reduce the insect prey scorpions follow indoors.
Georgetown Flea, Tick, and Chigger Control
Fleas, ticks, and chiggers thrive in Georgetown’s warm climate, especially in yards with tall grass or heavy shade. Pets bring fleas indoors, but a full infestation involves eggs and larvae in carpet and upholstery. Ticks in Williamson County carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis, and the CDC notes that most U.S. murine typhus cases from fleas occur in Texas.
- Yard treatment targeting shaded areas and tall grass where fleas, ticks, and chiggers live.
- Interior treatment of carpets, baseboards, and pet resting areas to eliminate eggs and larvae.
- Follow-up visit to catch the next generation as eggs hatch.
- Coordination guidance with your veterinarian for complete flea and tick control.
Our Specialized Pest Control Services
For pests that require targeted treatment methods, we offer dedicated service programs. Every service starts with a free inspection.
Termites
Central Texas is home to multiple subterranean termite species that stay active year-round in our warm, humid climate. We provide termite treatment, ongoing monitoring, and Wood Destroying Insect Reports (WDIR) for real estate transactions.
Rodents
Mice and roof rats are a year-round problem in Austin, TX, with call volume increasing in the fall and winter as rodents seek shelter indoors. We use interior trapping and exterior exclusion to seal entry points and remove existing populations. Every rodent service starts with a free inspection.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are hitchhikers that can show up in any Central Texas home regardless of cleanliness, often arriving on luggage, furniture, or clothing. We use targeted chemical applications with a follow-up inspection at 10-14 days to confirm elimination.
Mosquitoes
Central Texas heat and humidity create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes from early spring through late fall. Our two-prong approach targets both adult mosquitoes and larvae to reduce populations around your property.
Cockroaches
Roaches thrive in the warm, humid conditions across Central Texas and can carry bacteria, contaminate food, and trigger allergies and asthma. We identify the species to determine the right treatment approach - German roaches require specific prep steps and targeted application.
Ants
Central Texas is home to multiple ant species that invade homes looking for food and water, including fire ants, carpenter ants, and acrobat ants. We identify the species first because different ants require different treatment methods. Every service starts with a free inspection and includes pet/family-friendly products.
Spiders
Central Texas homes commonly see brown recluse and black widow spiders along with wolf spiders, jumping spiders, and orb weavers. We treat the interior and exterior of your home, focusing on the entry points and areas where spiders nest. Every service starts with a free inspection by a TDA-licensed technician.
Scorpions
Scorpions are common across Central Texas, especially in newer developments built on previously undeveloped land where scorpion populations are already established. We treat around the foundation, entry points, and harborage zones where scorpions hide during the day. .
