Services
Termite Control
Our termite control specialists identify underground colonies and eliminate infestations using Altriset, a low-impact chemical treatment. Technicians inspect foundations for entry points, apply targeted treatments, and implement preventive measures. We guarantee follow-up visits to ensure complete eradication while minimizing environmental impact through Integrated Pest Management principles.
Organic Lawn Care
Chem-Free's organic lawn program includes fertilization, weed control, and disease management using slow-release nutrients. Our Essential plan provides six annual treatments while Premier offers twelve visits with comprehensive pest and disease protection. Both options use eco-friendly products that promote root health without synthetic chemicals, maintaining Austin's ecosystem balance.
Rodent Control
Our humane rodent control combines exclusion techniques with strategic trapping. Technicians identify entry points for rats, mice, and squirrels, then implement sealing solutions. We offer disinfection services for contaminated areas and provide preventive recommendations. All treatments follow low-impact protocols to protect non-target wildlife and residential environments.
Mosquito Control
This service targets mosquito breeding grounds through habitat modification and larval control. Technicians apply botanical insecticides to resting areas while educating clients on standing water elimination. Our integrated approach reduces populations without harming beneficial insects, combining immediate treatment with long-term environmental management strategies.
Pest Management
Our comprehensive pest management covers ants, roaches, spiders, and other common pests. Certified Entomologists identify species-specific behaviors to implement targeted treatments. Using IPM principles, we prioritize non-chemical solutions before applying least-toxic options. Regular inspections and exclusion techniques prevent future infestations while maintaining environmental safety.

We had Mr. William Tabor come and he was extremely nice, thorough, quick, and made sure to be brief yet sincere when explaining his work while I was.
