Family-owned, locally rooted, and genuinely committed to the communities we serve since 2012.
Our Story
Shield Pest Solutions was founded in 2012 by Marcus and Elena Reyes, two Austin natives who were frustrated by pest control companies that treated homes as transactions rather than families. They set out to build something different — a locally owned operation where technicians actually care about the outcome, not just the invoice.
What started as a two-person operation out of a pickup truck has grown into a team of 14 licensed technicians serving over 2,400 Austin households. But the values haven't changed: honest assessments, fair pricing, and treatments that work the first time.
We live here. Our kids go to school here. We eat at the same restaurants and shop at the same markets as our customers. That's not a marketing line — it's why we hold ourselves to a higher standard than the national chains that don't have a stake in this community.
Our Mission
"To protect every Austin family with treatments that are as safe as they are effective — delivered by technicians who treat your home with the same care they'd give their own."
— Marcus & Elena Reyes, Founders
What We Stand For
Every decision we make — from the products we use to how we answer the phone — is guided by these four principles.
We use only EPA-registered formulations and follow strict safety protocols on every job. Your children and pets are treated as our responsibility, not an afterthought.
We don't consider a job done until pests are gone and you're satisfied. If they come back between visits, so do we — at no additional charge, no questions asked.
You'll always know exactly what you're paying and why before we begin. No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch upsells, no surprise charges on your invoice.
We're your neighbors. We sponsor local schools, source supplies from Austin businesses, and price our services to be accessible to every family in our community.
