Services
At your preference, our technicians are providing interior services once again, while continuing to wear face masks and practice social distancing. We strive to provide our customers with a great pest control service experience, along with keeping you and your family safe during these uncertain times.
You've got pests, we've got solutions. Whatever your business shape or size, we have a pest control solution that fits your situation. We treat most pest problems by applying a water based chemical spray inside and outside of a structure. When treating your home indoors, we apply the spray to cracks and crevices and/or spot treat problem areas where pests hide.
Ants are very tiny insects that live in colonies. We get rid of ants many different ways. Our team uses all available methods to prevent ants in a given environment without causing any harm to humans and environment. Treatment plans include spraying a repellent. This kind of ant is known to be one of the most difficult insects to remove from the house.

Jeremy was my service guy and he was super nice, friendly and very professional. House and yard was treated for army worms and are all gone now! He even looked at another issue I had that was old termite tracks and advised me what to watch for. Actually every one of the service guys that have been out are great. I've always had great service and have used this company since 1977. Great reliable company. Thanks so much!

Todd came out for my free evaluation and he was the nicest guy. I was satisfied with his solutions and told him I would run them by my husband when he got home. A few days later I called and asked for Todd but Ginger told me he was out sick and there were no notes on me at all. She was going to text him and call me right back. I never heard back.

The staff are extremely nice and I feel bad writing this review but I really don't like Scorpions. They sprayed three times in the span of two months and there were still scorpions in my house. Most we're dead but one was alive.
I've been using Reed's pest control for over a month now and I haven't seen a single scorpion inside or outside my house.
I was very excited to use research pest control because of all the positive reviews but I feel like I paid for nothing with no refund.

Very professional. Our lawn got sprayed at noon and by 6 pm we could go out and enjoy the evening without mosquitoes. We will use them again.

Super friendly guy that did a thorough review, explained risks to avoid, and even gave us a tip on our downdraft exhaust. Timely service. We liked Mike and will use this service again.

Matt from Research Pest came to my house - sprayed inside for unwanted visitors and took care of the outside for red ants.
Very neat - punctual - well mannered young man.
Did a thorough job. Never have I had any problems with this company. Can’t see myself using any other company.
Great business and wonderful employees.

I heard some noises under my house at night and called Research Pest to figure out what it is. Mike came out and crawled under my entire house, diagnosed the problem, and told me some simple fixes I could do on my own to keep critters out. Great honest company that is more concerned with fixing the problem than charging customers an arm and a leg.

Very disappointing experience. I scheduled an appointment a week in advance (which was the first available opening they had and I had no problem at all with that). On the day of my appointment, they didn't show up and didn't bother to call. I called them and they said that they "rescheduled" my appointment but didn't have a phone number to call me and tell me. They also had the right address but the wrong name on my appointment. When I initially called, I had given them the 4 pieces of information the girl asked me for: my name, address, phone number, and what service I needed. They couldn't even

These guys are fabulous! We have had maybe 7-10 experiences with Research over the years and have never had a worker that we didn't love! They are professional, knowledgeable, non- judgmental and just all around nice people!!!!!!!

I have been using Research Pest Control for over 25 years!!! They are a great company with outstanding employees. Janice always makes it easy to schedule with and Chet is always on time and does a great job. If you are looking for a reliable local pest control company then call them. You will not be disappointed!

Michael still shows up to our house whenever we call -- the rats are smart little creatures and either figure out new access spots or we hear noises of their attempts to figure out new access spots. He's patient, doesn't complain about the crappy access to the pier-and-beam foundation and best of all, he seems to know everything about rats.

The pest expert came out & was very knowledgeable & friendly. They did a great job knocking down wasp nests, educating us in red ants, spraying inside & out. We have not seen a bug since! We recommend them!

Research is great - Michael came out and set traps in our attic and blocked all the holes roof rats were getting through. We live in the inner city (Bouldin) of Austin and have a HUGE pecan tree directly next to our house. Rats love pecans.

So seven rats in our attic were killed by the traps in just two days. Creeped us out, for sure.
Michael or his co-worker Mike (both great guys) will come out twice a week to check the traps until there are no more rats. The cost for that is a reasonable $270 or thereabouts. Well worth it, since my husband and I and our two cats want nothing to do with
