Absolute Pest Management is a Buda-based pest control company with a strong public reputation: 4.9 stars from 407 Google reviews, including recent feedback within the past year. That combination of rating and review volume carries more weight than a near-perfect score drawn from only a handful of customers. The reviews provided cover residential and commercial work involving wasps, rodents, squirrels, carpenter ants, termites, hornets, routine pest prevention, attic sanitation, and insulation replacement. CertifiedLocal’s automated checks confirm that the business has a claimed profile, a website, and a listed phone number. Customers repeatedly describe technicians who inspect carefully, explain the proposed treatment, and answer questions before or during the work. Several reviews name different employees while reporting similar experiences, which suggests the positive service pattern is not limited to one standout technician. Examples include identifying carpenter ants before treatment, explaining product safety around pets and birds, laying out options for a possible squirrel problem, and keeping a customer informed during a multi-visit rat-removal job. Reviewers also report prompt scheduling, including next-day service in two cases, and tangible results such as reduced ant activity and successful rodent removal. Punctuality, advance arrival calls, thorough treatment, and respectful care inside customers’ homes are recurring strengths. Pricing is generally described as fair or reasonable, though one customer called a rodent-exclusion package “steep.” That package included five visits and sealing entry points, and the same reviewer ultimately considered the work successful, but prospective customers should still request a detailed scope and price before committing to a larger remediation job. The CertifiedLocal profile also has some meaningful gaps: no service options are listed, the automated check does not recognize the profile as complete across all seven days, and the posted schedule falls short of 50 open hours per week. Hours are limited to weekday business hours plus Saturday morning, with Sunday closed. The company also fails the platform’s 30% review-response threshold. Replies appear on some reviews, but not consistently enough to meet that standard; encouragingly, there are no recent unanswered one- or two-star outliers. Absolute Pest Management looks best suited to customers who value diagnosis, clear explanations, careful treatment, and follow-through on anything from common insects to more involved rodent and attic work. Its large review base and consistent accounts of professional technicians are persuasive. The main cautions are potentially substantial pricing for complex projects, limited weekend availability, and a profile that could do a better job listing services and responding to customers publicly.

„Absolute Pest have been rockstars from start to finish. Ryan came to our business to do a preliminary inspection of a wasp issue we were experiencing. The quote we received was very fairly priced. An unexpected availability opening allowed Felix to arrive the very next day to perform the work. He was very professional and extremely thorough, taking time to explain the process and ensure all the trouble spots were well treated. This family run business know what they're doing and live up to their impressive reputation. Highly recommended."

„We had the best experience with Absolute sealing our home from rodents, sanitizing our attic, extracting old insulation and blowing in new insulation. Jeremiah and Felix were the nicest, most professional and hardworking employees who cared for our home so well. We are so grateful for the quality work and reasonable price of Absolute"

„I highly recommend Absolute Pest Management! Ants were invading my home, and they were the answer to a prayer. Ryan who did the inspection, identified the invasive species as Carpenter ants and was very knowledgeable about what needed to be done. He made the effort to get someone scheduled for the next day. Griffin who came to apply the treatments, was able to clearly explain what was being used & assure me it wouldn't harm household (or neighborhood) pets or birds. He was patient & thorough in completing the job. I began to see improvement by the next day! Very happy with the services provided!!"

„Our pest control technician Johnny was absolutely fantastic today. He was not only thorough and professional in the way he handled everything, but also incredibly friendly and approachable. He took the time to answer questions, explain what he was doing, and made the whole process feel easy and reassuring. It’s rare to find someone who brings that level of care and positive attitude to their work he really went above and beyond, and it made a big difference."

„I called Absolute pest management because we had been having an attic rat problem. We had used a different company last year and gotten completely ripped off. We live in a townhouse and the whole building needed to be treated but our neighbors refused. Jacob gave us a quote for just our house. It was steep but it includes 5 visits and sealing all the entry points. Jerel has now been out for 4 of the 5 visits and he has been fantastic! The first visit netted 2 dead rats and the next 1 more. The next visit there were none. Jerel even took care of a bad hornet's nest in our backyard. He always is on time and calls to let you know he's on the way. Absolute is an outstanding company to work with!"

Owner's reply: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We know how frustrating it can be to deal with rodents, especially after a tough experience with another company. We’re glad Jacob was able to walk you through a thorough plan and that Jerel has delivered great results each step of the way. He takes pride in being on time, communicating clearly, and going the extra mile—like tackling that hornet’s nest for you. We truly appreciate your trust in Absolute Pest Management and are proud to have earned your confidence.
