Stride Pest Control is a locally owned and operated pest control company in San Antonio, TX. The business was launched in January 2020 by owner and certified applicator Alex Randall, and it operates as part of the Stride Pest Control family founded by Tyson Kearns in Round Rock in 2013. Alex holds both Termite and General Pest Control Operator certifications from the Texas Department of Agriculture and the EPA, and serves as the responsible certified applicator under TDA license TPCL #827449. He is joined on staff by certified applicator Raul Ramos and licensed technician Gerrit Randall, and the team runs routes Monday through Saturday across Bexar County, Comal County, Guadalupe County, and Kendall County, covering San Antonio, New Braunfels, Boerne, Schertz, Cibolo, Converse, Seguin, Canyon Lake, Alamo Heights, Helotes, Stone Oak, Shavano Park, and dozens of other communities throughout the metro. The company carries active liability insurance on file with the TDA, requires background checks and drug screening on every employee before they enter a customer's home, and conducts annual criminal and sexual predator screenings as part of its QualityPro certification requirements. The credentials behind Stride's San Antonio operation place the company in a category that fewer than 3% of pest control companies nationwide can claim. Stride holds both QualityPro and GreenPro certifications through the National Pest Management Association's Foundation for Professional Pest Management, which represent the highest accreditation in the pest management industry. QualityPro alone requires adherence to 16 standards that exceed state and federal requirements. Beyond those two core certifications, Stride also holds QualityPro designations in Public Health, Schools, and Food Safety, making the team qualified to serve schools, healthcare facilities, and food service environments alongside residential properties. The company is an active member of both the Texas Pest Control Association and the National Pest Management Association, with team attendance at the national Pest World conference in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The San Antonio office maintains a BBB A+ rating with zero complaints on file. Across the broader Stride Pest Control brand, the company was voted Best Pest Control Company in the 2025 Best of Round Rock Awards and received the Platinum award in the 2025 Round Rock Community Votes program. In just six years of operation, the San Antonio location has built a 5-star rating across over 736 Google reviews and 458 BirdEye reviews, with customers consistently praising the team's responsiveness, honest assessments, and the fact that technicians like Raul and Justin take the time to explain what they are treating and why before applying a single product. The company follows an integrated pest management approach rooted in EPA principles: inspection, identification, recommendation, treatment, and evaluation. Services cover general pest control for ants, roaches, spiders, scorpions, and wasps; termite treatment and monitoring with bait stations; rodent control through interior trapping and exterior exclusion; mosquito control; bed bug treatment with follow-up inspections; and flea, tick, and chigger control. Same-day service is available when you call before 3 PM, every inspection is free, and every maintenance plan includes unlimited re-services between scheduled visits at no additional charge. In nearly 12,000 customers served across all Stride locations since 2013, the company has never had to issue a refund under its satisfaction guarantee.

    San Antonio, TX Termite Control
    2026/08/30

    Stride Pest Control provides San Antonio, TX termite control for homeowners dealing with subterranean termites in and around the structure of the home. The service runs from inspection through treatment and long-term monitoring, and it is meant for property owners who want a live termite problem confirmed and stopped by a state-licensed applicator instead of a retail spray.

    The termite behind almost every structural termite call in San Antonio is the eastern subterranean termite, a soil-dwelling insect that reaches a house from the ground up. Colonies live in the moist soil around and under a foundation, and workers move indoors through slab cracks, expansion joints, and openings around pipes, building mud tubes along foundation walls where no direct gap exists. The clay soils common across the San Antonio area shift as they dry out and swell with the seasons, opening the kind of foundation cracks termites use to get in, and the region's mild winters let colonies stay active well beyond the spring swarm that first tips off many homeowners. Because these termites feed on the cellulose in framing lumber, subfloors, and trim from the inside out, the damage adds up out of sight and is usually a structural repair bill by the time it shows, which is what makes early detection matter.

    Stride Pest Control begins with an inspection of the foundation and the points where wood and soil meet, identifies whether the termites are active, and provides a Wood Destroying Insect Report when a real estate transaction calls for one. Treatment is built around a termite bait station system placed around the home and serviced on a schedule, so the colony is worked at its source rather than just the spot where it appeared. The company holds Texas Department of Agriculture license TPCL 827449 for pest and termite work and carries QualityPro and GreenPro certification, and owner Alex Randall holds termite and general pest control operator certifications from Texas and the EPA. The San Antonio location holds a 4.9-star Google rating across 498 reviews and was named first place in the 2026 San Antonio Express-News Readers' Choice Awards.

    A termite inspection with Stride Pest Control is free, and when an active infestation is found the company explains the treatment plan and the price before starting. The San Antonio location holds an A+ rating with zero complaints from the Better Business Bureau. Same-day service is available for calls made before 3:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, and protection continues through service agreements, not contracts, with re-treatment at no charge if termites return between scheduled visits. Stride Pest Control serves San Antonio and the surrounding communities from its office on Pin Oak Drive. Homeowners who spot mud tubes on a foundation, shed wings on a windowsill, or wood that sounds hollow can book an inspection to find out whether termites are active and what stopping them will involve.

    San Antonio, TX Ant Control
    2026/06/02
    Are you looking for help with San Antonio, TX ant control services? In this podcast we will be discussing which ant species create the most problems for San Antonio homeowners, why species identification is the critical first step in any ant treatment, and what a professional ant control program involves. San Antonio sits at the intersection of multiple ant pressure zones — fire ant territory, carpenter ant habitat in the Hill Country corridor, and high urban density that keeps odorous house ants and Argentine ants cycling through neighborhoods year-round. Fire ants are ubiquitous across Bexar County. Their mounds are a constant presence in lawns, landscaping beds, and utility easements, and their aggressive stinging response makes them a genuine hazard for children, pets, and adults with allergies. Carpenter ants are less visible but more structurally damaging — they excavate galleries inside moisture-damaged wood members and can go undetected for years inside wall framing and window sills. The EPA ant control guidance underscores that species identification before treatment is essential because gel baits effective on odorous house ants can scatter carpenter ant colonies, making the infestation harder to eliminate. Warning signs include fire ant mounds appearing in the yard within 48 hours of rain, ant trails leading from exterior gaps to kitchen counters or bathrooms, sawdust-like frass below baseboards or door frames (indicating carpenter ant activity), and small soil deposits near foundation cracks. Multiple species can be active simultaneously, which is why a professional inspection before treatment is more than a formality. How San Antonio Ant Control Works San Antonio ant control starts with species identification — the cornerstone of an effective treatment plan. Stride technicians identify the species present before selecting any product or application method. A typical ant control job in San Antonio follows these steps: Species identification: Ant species confirmed before product selection — gel bait, residual, or void treatment chosen accordinglyEntry point mapping: Trails, foundation gaps, and structural penetrations where ants are entering identifiedInterior treatment: Targeted application — gel baits for trailing species, crack-and-crevice residuals, or void treatments as appropriateExterior perimeter: Foundation, landscaping beds, fire ant mounds, and structural perimeter treatedFollow-up evaluation: Re-inspection with free re-treatment if activity persists between visits Stride San Antonio holds TPCL #827449. All technicians are TDA-licensed and trained on ant biology and species identification. Owner Alex Randall holds EPA and State of Texas certifications in General Pest Control and Termite control, and all treatments use pet- and family-safe products. About Stride Pest Control Stride Pest Control's San Antonio location opened in January 2020, operated by owner Alex Randall under coordinated ownership with Tyson Kearns, who founded the company in Round Rock in 2013. Both locations are QualityPro and GreenPro certified through the NPMA Foundation — a status held by fewer than 3% of U.S. pest control companies — and carry active TDA liability insurance. Stride has served nearly 12,000 customers across Central Texas and follows a five-step Stride Forward process on every service: inspection, identification, recommendation, treatment, and follow-up evaluation.
