Services
Pest Control
Our comprehensive pest control services address both residential and commercial infestations across San Antonio. From common ants and roaches to challenging bed bug infestations, our technicians employ targeted treatments that eliminate current problems while preventing future occurrences. We utilize low-toxicity chemical options alongside mechanical exclusion techniques to create long-lasting protection for homes and businesses in San Antonio.
Humane Wildlife Removal
Specializing in ethical wildlife management, we safely remove raccoons, squirrels, snakes, and other animals from residential properties while minimizing stress to the animals. Our exclusion methods include installing one-way doors and sealing entry points to prevent re-infestation, ensuring both property protection and animal welfare through responsible relocation practices.
Termite Treatment
Protecting South Texas properties from destructive termites requires specialized knowledge of local species like Eastern Subterranean and Drywood termites. Our termite treatments focus on early detection through thorough inspections followed by targeted interventions that stop infestations while implementing preventive measures to safeguard structural integrity against these silent destroyers.
Organic Pest Control
For environmentally-conscious clients, we offer ECO-Smart Organics solutions that combine essential oils and low-impact treatments to effectively manage pests. Our organic approach maintains pest control efficacy while reducing chemical exposure through natural repellents from Cedarwood, Geranium, and Cinnamon Bark oils, providing safer alternatives for families and pets.
Tree and Lawn Care
Our specialized tree and lawn care services target South Texas' unique climate challenges through customized fertilization programs and pest prevention strategies. Trained professionals assess individual property needs to develop seasonal treatment plans that combat common lawn pests while implementing disease prevention measures to maintain healthy, vibrant outdoor spaces throughout the year.

We had a skunk hiding under our shed and Apple managed to trap and safely release it very quickly. Professional and prompt! Picture isn't so great because I didn't want to stick my face near the business end of a skunk but you can kinda see him in there!

The lady I spoke to on the phone was really friendly and professional. Had a technician out to my house by the end of the week. Caleb, the technician, was also really friendly and did a thorough job.

Report
I contacted Apple Pest Control concerning a wasp issue of having 20+ nests throughout the property. They were out within 48 hours and were able to remove all wasp nests within 30 minutes. Have not had any issues since! They are timely, professional, and respectful of property and requests. We have a garden in the backyard (as well as a "pet" orb weaver spider) that they were careful to avoid spraying around. Appreciate the great service.

Report
A colony of yellow jackets invaded our wooden deck and made it impossible for us to enjoy our back yard. George Gimbel from Apple came, exactly when we expected him, and blasted them with insecticide. He took up some of the deck boards, removed the nests, and treated the area further, to assure that they were completely gone. We have always been pleased with the service we've received from Apple Pest Control, and especially from George Gimbel. They stand by their work, and we highly recommend them. Five Stars!

I had a hidden wasp nest in an overgrown area and wasn't sure what to do. Caleb came out and quickly found the suspected area of the nest (which was buried) and was able to destroy the nest. Problem solved in less than 30 minutes and the price was very fair. Highly recommended! Service: Hornets or wasps
