Effective Pest Control Solutions
A Legacy of Local Protection Led by Bobby Jenkins
In a service landscape where many long-standing Austin providers have sold their ownership to out-of-state private equity firms, ABC remains a fiercely independent, family-owned institution. Bobby Jenkins has built a culture where the primary responsibility is to the Austin community—not to distant shareholders. As a past president of the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) and current chair of the Professional Pest Management Alliance, Bobby ensures that the service protocols used in your home are shaped by global standards but executed with a neighborly, Austin-specific approach.
Construction Engineering and Structure Defense
With a B.S. in Agricultural Leadership and Development from Texas A&M University and a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Construction Management from Louisiana State University (LSU), Holt Myers views pest control through the lens of structural integrity. As a Registered General Contractor and former Commercial Construction Project Manager, Holt specializes in identifying architectural vulnerabilities—such as entry gaps and moisture points—that traditional services often overlook. Holt holds Certified Applicator (CA) licenses in the core four categories recognized by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA): Pest, Termite, Lawn & Ornamental, and Weed.
Scientific Pest Management and Board Certified Oversight
ABC Texas maintains a force of nearly 400 licensed pest and termite professionals, the largest such team in the state. Alan Brown, BCE, Director of Quality & Technical Training, is a Board Certified Entomologist (BCE) with 27 years of experience. Alan ensures our specialists are trained in the latest Integrated Pest Management (IPM) research, prioritizing responsible and effective solutions.

Austin Pest Control FAQs
Why is it important to choose a locally owned pest control company in Austin?
Many local brands have been purchased by national private equity firms, shifting the focus to volume over quality. As a family-owned business led by Bobby Jenkins, ABC prioritizes the long-term health of our Austin neighbors’ homes, investing more in high-level training and construction-grade exclusion materials.
What is the "Structure-First" approach?
Led by General Contractor Holt Myers, this approach treats pest control as a structural discipline. We don’t just spray; we analyze your home’s physical “envelope” to find and seal the gaps in siding, foundations, and utility lines that allow pests to enter.
