What your money buys

The TriBarrier™ system.

Most companies mist your baseboards and are back in the truck in nine minutes flat. We build three overlapping barriers on every single visit, from the foundation out to the property line. Two of the three are the layers your cheaper quote is quietly leaving out.

Layer 01

Foundation barrier

Three feet up the wall and three feet out from it, the whole way around the house, plus windows, doors, garage and roofline. That band is the route pests actually take to get inside.

Measured with a tape, not eyeballed

Layer 02

Granular yard moat

A ring of granular treatment across the lawn that wakes back up every time you water or it rains. Your sprinklers are on our payroll now.

Skipped by most companies. Granular costs money.

Layer 03

Property line

A full 360-degree spray along the property line, so pests get turned back at the border instead of at your back door.

Skipped by most companies. Nobody audits a lawn.

Everybody in this business says three feet up and three feet out. We are the ones who actually bring a tape measure, and we do all three layers on every visit. There is no cheaper Bastion tier where we quietly drop a layer, because free re-treatments only work if the treatment was real the first time. That is the difference you are paying for.

Good to know

The questions we get every day.

Straight answers, no asterisks. If yours is not here, call or text 843-480-8699 and ask a human.

How much does pest control cost in Austin?

Recurring plans start at $97 a month for General Pest + Rodent, and $147 a month for General Pest + Rodent + Mosquito. That is based on a single-family home. Bigger houses and bigger lots cost more, which we will tell you before you commit, not after. See the full pricing page, compare the whole market in our guide to what pest control costs in Austin in 2026, or call 843-480-8699 for your exact number.

What pests do you treat?

More than 40. These 20 are the ones we get called about most: ants, spiders, cockroaches, scorpions, rodents, wasps, bees, centipedes, crickets, earwigs, moths, silverfish, springtails, stink bugs, mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, bed bugs, moles and termites. 40+ pests ride along on every recurring visit at no extra charge, so you are not buying a new plan every time something different shows up. Mosquitoes, fleas and ticks come with the $147 plan, and bed bugs, moles and termites are quoted as their own jobs. Browse them all on our services page.

What areas around Austin do you serve?

Austin and most of the metro, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Leander, Hutto, Manor, Kyle, Buda and San Marcos. If you are not sure we reach your street, call 843-480-8699. We usually do. The service area page has the full list.

Is your pest control kid and pet friendly?

Our treatments are pet and kid friendly and we put them where pests travel, not where your family does: cracks, voids, weep holes and the perimeter. Keep kids and pets off treated surfaces until they dry, which is usually about 30 minutes. Your technician will tell you if any area needs longer and will walk you through everything applied before leaving.

What happens if pests come back between visits?

You call, we come back out, free. Every active recurring plan includes free re-treatments between scheduled visits, no limit and no trip fee. That is the entire point of the Pest-Free Guarantee. A guarantee you cannot actually collect on is just a slogan.

How soon can you come out?

Usually same day or next day. Technicians treat from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week, and a Saturday costs exactly what a Tuesday costs. The phone is answered around the clock, so call or text 843-480-8699 whenever. A real person picks up from 8am to 8pm, and our AI assistant covers the hours either side.

Do I have to be home for the service?

Not for exterior service, which is the bulk of it. If we can reach the yard and the gate is unlocked, we treat and text you a summary when we are finished. Interior work is free on your plan whenever you ask for it, but it does need somebody home, and we will text when we are on our way so you are not burning a Saturday waiting.

What makes Bastion different from other Austin pest control companies?

The TriBarrier treatment. Most companies mist your baseboards and are back in the truck in nine minutes flat. We build three overlapping rings on every single visit: the foundation three feet up and three feet out, a granular moat across the yard, and a full property-line spray. Two of those three are the layers other companies skip, because granular costs money and nobody audits a lawn.
