Bug Control in Austin, MN

The Groundsmasters targets mosquitoes, ticks, ants, fleas, and emerald ash borers on Austin, MN properties with licensed, EPA-registered treatments. Our barrier sprays and trunk injections give families, businesses, and event venues a safer, more comfortable outdoor environment all season.

Austin is the county seat of Mower County in southeastern Minnesota, situated along the Cedar River about 45 miles southeast of Owatonna. Known as the home of Hormel Foods, Austin is a vibrant city with a diverse population and strong economic base. The natural environment around Austin supports breeding populations of mosquitoes and ticks that can make outdoor living unpleasant and even hazardous. Deer ticks carrying Lyme disease are present throughout Mower County, and mosquito-borne illnesses remain a public health concern every summer in southern Minnesota.

Our mosquito and tick control program typically includes treatments every three to four weeks during the active season, from late May through September. We apply a targeted barrier spray to the perimeter of your property, focusing on shaded areas, ground cover, brush lines, and standing-water zones where mosquitoes breed and ticks harbor. The treatment creates a protective barrier that dramatically reduces pest populations on your property.

For ant infestations — including carpenter ants, pavement ants, and field ants — we provide both exterior perimeter treatments and targeted interior applications when needed. Carpenter ants are a particular concern for Austin homeowners because they can cause structural damage by hollowing out wood members in your home.

Emerald ash borer (EAB) treatment is another critical service we offer in Austin. This invasive beetle has devastated ash tree populations across Minnesota, and Mower County is within the established infestation zone. We provide trunk-injection treatments that protect your ash trees for up to two years per application, preserving valuable shade trees that can take decades to replace.

The Cedar River corridor gives Austin properties unique drainage considerations, and the city's southeastern location means slightly different weather patterns than central Minnesota. Our experienced crews adapt service plans accordingly.

From the neighborhoods surrounding Todd Park to the commercial corridors along Main Street and Oakland Avenue, Austin property owners count on scheduled grounds maintenance to protect their investments.

All of our pest control products are applied by licensed, trained technicians using EPA-registered formulations. We prioritize targeted application methods that minimize impact on beneficial insects like pollinators while effectively controlling harmful pests. Our team follows all Minnesota Department of Agriculture regulations and best practices for integrated pest management.
