Pest control in Cedar Park.
Under Buttercup Creek is a genuine cave system, and the striped bark scorpions living in that karst treat the voids as a highway to your slab. Head west toward Twin Creeks and the cedar scrub adds ticks and wasps. Scorpions are still the first call here.

Why pests behave differently here.
The Buttercup Creek area is built over a genuine cave system, the Buttercup Creek Cave Preserve is right there. Karst limestone means an interconnected network of voids running under and around homes, and striped bark scorpions use it as both habitat and highway.
West of town the terrain turns to true Hill Country: Twin Creeks, the Ranch at Brushy Creek, and the newer sections pressing toward Leander. Cedar and oak scrub right up against back fences brings ticks, chiggers and wasps, plus the deer traffic that moves ticks around.

Every Cedar Park visit
The full TriBarrier™, every time.
Three overlapping layers, from the foundation out to the property line. Not a hurried spray along the baseboards. Two of the three are the layers your cheaper quote is quietly leaving out.
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
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.
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 every Cedar Park visit gets all three layers. 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.
They come back? So do we, free.
Free re-treatments between scheduled visits on any recurring plan. We keep our routes tight around Cedar Park, so when you call we can actually get back out.

Cedar Park pest questions, answered.
Why are scorpions so bad in Cedar Park?
Karst limestone. The Buttercup Creek area sits over a real cave system, and striped bark scorpions use those voids as habitat and highway. They peak indoors June through August, hunting moisture during the hottest weeks. Sealing weep holes and slab gaps matters more here than almost anywhere in the metro.
When is tick season in Cedar Park?
Earlier than most people expect. Adult lone star ticks are active by late winter and peak March through May in the cedar and oak scrub around Twin Creeks and the Ranch at Brushy Creek, with a second smaller wave in July and August. Lone star ticks can carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever and are linked to alpha-gal syndrome, so the spring yard treatment is the one to book.
What month are pests worst in Cedar Park?
August and September, when scorpions are still at peak and mosquitoes, wasps and fleas join them. Spring is a close second, because ticks and fire ants peak from March through May here. The calendar above shows the full sequence.
Do Cedar Park pests slow down in winter?
Outdoors, yes. Indoors, rodents peak November through January as they move out of the greenbelts and into attics. Everything else going quiet is exactly why winter is the right time to seal the weep holes and slab gaps the summer scorpions used.
