Pest Control Georgetown, TX | Prickly Pear — Locally Owned
Prickly Pear is a locally owned, independent Central Texas company — not a national chain running a route. Our staff entomologist, Stephen, holds a master’s degree in Entomology from the University of Texas – Austin, so pest identification and treatment protocol on your property is built on real training, not a generic spray-and-go.
Why Georgetown’s Pest Pressure Is Real
Georgetown’s roots as an agricultural hub and its mature, tree-lined neighborhoods mean established landscaping and long-worked soil throughout much of the city, while the newer growth areas add fresh, disturbed ground — exactly the kind fire ant colonies move into first. Central Texas’s mild winters keep fire ants, roaches, and rodents active nearly year-round on top of that.
Pests We See Most in Georgetown
- Fire ants — especially around newer construction and recently graded yards; full yard treatment plus year-round spot treatment on our higher-tier plans
- Mosquitoes — any standing water on a property drives breeding pressure; 21-day bait station and barrier treatment cycles
- Roof rats and rodents — bait box service standalone or bundled with full pest control
- Roaches, spiders, ants (general) — mature tree cover and established landscaping support year-round activity; interior/exterior barrier treatment
Our 30-Day Pest Control Guarantee
All Prickly Pear pest control service is backed by a 30-day guarantee — if pests return within 30 days of treatment, we come back at no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions — Georgetown
Does Georgetown’s mature tree cover attract more pests?
Mature landscaping and established tree canopy provide more shaded, moisture-retaining cover for ants and roaches to nest in than newer, sparser yards — a real factor in many of Georgetown’s older, tree-lined neighborhoods.
How often does a Georgetown home need pest control?
Central Texas’s climate supports pest activity nearly year-round, so monthly treatment is the industry-standard baseline for most homes, with less frequent service possible for customers with specific concerns.
