Diagnostic-first
Every call starts with a written inspection - species, harborage, entry points. If we cannot name the species, we do not apply a product.
About ClearPest
Pest control, rebuilt around science and trust.
We started ClearPest because the pest control industry was built on something we found unacceptable: upselling homeowners on services they did not need and spraying repellents that made real problems worse.
Our story
Founded by a field entomologist tired of the status quo.
In 2012, our founder spent three years as a technician for a national pest control brand in Sydney. Most of what he was told to sell had nothing to do with solving customer problems - it was a script tied to a commission structure. The final straw was watching a senior tech recommend fogging for a bed bug case, knowing full well it would scatter the infestation through an entire home.
ClearPest was founded the following year with three operating rules we still keep:
- Inspect before you quote. No price, no protocol, no product before a technician has actually walked the property.
- Bait before you spray. Non-repellent targeted treatment eliminates colonies. Aerosol sprays mask symptoms.
- Say no when that is the right answer. A fruit fly problem is an environmental problem. We will say so - even when there is a service call in it for us.
Fourteen years and 12,000+ protected homes later, those rules still frame every conversation a technician has with a customer.

What we insist on, every visit.
Transparent pricing
Every quote is itemized. Every service plan is month-to-month. No upsells disguised as diagnostic fees, no contract lock-ins.

Free inspections within 48 hours. Active infestations on Shield Plus and Premium get same-day response.
Central Texas focused
