Questions about a page, a correction to suggest, a privacy request or a question about how the referral service works? Email is the quickest way to reach us about the website itself.
Phone
For a pest problem at a Georgetown home or business. Calls are connected with an independent local pest control provider.
We read every message ourselves and usually reply within two business days. Messages sent on a weekend or a Texas holiday are answered the next working day. If your note is about a factual error on a page, we fix confirmed mistakes first, often the same day we verify them.
What to include in your email
To help us answer quickly, include:
- Your question, and the page it relates to if there is one
- Your Georgetown ZIP code (78626 or 78628) if your question is about a pest problem at a property
- For corrections, the sentence you think is wrong and, if possible, a source
Before you contact us about a pest
Many Georgetown questions can be answered in a minute with a quick look. Three checks settle most of the emails we get:
- Winged insects at a window in March or April? Look at the waist and antennae. A pinched waist and elbowed antennae point to ants; a thick waist, straight antennae and four equal wings point to termite swarmers. Our flying ants vs. termites post shows the difference.
- A scorpion indoors? In Georgetown it is almost always the striped bark scorpion. One sighting usually means more in the walls or attic, so check door sweeps, weep holes and the garage first.
- Droppings in the pantry or garage? Rice-sized droppings with pointed ends suggest mice; larger, blunt ones suggest roof rats, which often come down from oak and pecan limbs touching the roof.
Pest problems at your property
Thornick Exterminator Georgetown is a referral and information site, not a pest control company. We cannot diagnose a pest problem by email or send a technician. If you have a pest problem now, call (512) 641-1922 to be connected with an independent pest control provider that serves Georgetown. These pages explain what to look for and what to have ready before you call:
- What to have ready when contacting an exterminator
- How to prepare your home for an exterminator
- How to choose an exterminator in Georgetown
For a serious medical problem, such as a severe reaction to a sting or bite, call 911. For a possible poisoning of a person or pet, contact Poison Control or your veterinarian.
Texas residents can reach the Texas Poison Center Network at 1-800-222-1222 at any hour. If you find a kissing bug, do not crush it with bare hands; the Texas Department of State Health Services explains how to collect one safely for testing.
Sending a photo of a pest
A clear photo answers more than a long description. Put the insect on a white sheet of paper next to a coin for scale, take the picture in daylight, and include one shot of the place you found it, such as a baseboard, a window sill or an attic joist. For droppings or damage, a wide shot plus a close-up works best. Please do not mail physical samples; we have no lab and cannot accept them.
Privacy requests
To ask what personal information we hold about you or to request deletion, email us with the subject line “Privacy request.” Our privacy policy explains what we collect and why.
Businesses and providers
If you are a pest control provider with a question about this site, or you believe a page describes your business, email us with details. We do not publish company names, reviews or rankings.
Complaints about the work of a pest control company in Texas belong with the Texas Department of Agriculture structural pest control program, which licenses and oversees applicators. You are welcome to copy us as well so we know about the problem.
