Chem-free

Since 1990, Chem-free has specialized in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for Austin-area residential and commercial properties. Led by Operations Manager John Howie-an Associate Certified Entomologist with 18 years of local expertise-and Service Manager William James Tabor, the company focuses exclusively on ecosystem-focused, low-impact solutions that protect your home while honoring the natural environment. Rather than relying on broad chemical sprays, Chem-free begins every relationship with a Structural Exclusion Audit: inspecting your home's exterior envelope, identifying pest entry points, and recommending physical exclusions and habitat modifications that solve problems at their root. Chem-free holds GreenPro certification, a distinction earned by less than 1% of U.S. pest control companies. This ensures every protocol meets strict national standards for eco-friendly, low-impact property care. The team specializes in comprehensive pest control (roaches, ants, spiders, scorpions, termites, rodents and wildlife), mosquito control with fogging applications, bed bug heat treatments, and organic lawn care tailored to Central Texas soils and native grasses. Customers report 4.9 stars across 866 reviews, praising the team's thoroughness, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to solving problems the right way rather than upselling unnecessary work.
