Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ about Paladin Pest Control. A local pest company serving Buda, Kyle, San Marcos and the Hays County area.
About Us
What is a Paladin?
A Paladin is an archaic word for a knight. In the past Charlemagne, king of the Franks, referred to his knights as Paladins.
We also like to think of ourselves as heroic knights battling against pests everywhere.
What makes Paladin Pest Control different from other Pest Control companies?
We’re locally owned and owner operated.
We promise exceptional customer service and great prices.
We don’t use contracts to keep our customers, but instead keep people by the quality of our service.
Also, many of our competitors utilize the same treatments whenever they come out. This is problematic because pests will gain an immunity to the same treatments being done over and over again.
We change our products and procedures every three months to ensure maximum effectiveness.

About Our Service
Are your products safe?
All our products are EPA approved, and applied by certified technicians. We emphasize safety by keeping our sprays close to the foundation and using baits in the yard.
Doing this allows us to take care of bothersome pests like spiders and ants, but protect helpful insects like bees and butterflies.
What if I get an infestation between services?
We guarantee all our services, so if the bugs come back, we will return at no additional cost.
How will we know you are coming to service our property?
You will receive an email 3 days before service, and be contacted the day before as a reminder.
We will also contact you again when we are on our way to service your property.
Is a one-time pest service sufficient?
Our products only last up to 3 months, so a one-time service will only provide temporary relief from pests.
We recommend setting up a quarterly or bi-monthly plan to keep you protected year round.
Is winter service really necessary?
Since we don’t experience harsh winters in Central Texas, the insect population never takes a hit. When freezing weather comes, pests will often rush into a home seeking shelter and warmth.
Rats and mice are also prevalent during the winter, and doing service will allow the technician to inspect for openings that rodents may be able to enter through.
How long should I keep my pets inside after service?
It is recommended that you leave your pets inside for 30 minutes after service is completed to allow our product to dry.
Do I need to be home for a pest control service?
No. You do not have to be home for service.
An interior treatment is only effective if there is already an infestation in the home.
After the initial service, we will continue to treat the exterior of your home and inside the walls. This will prevent 99% of your pest issues.
