Stride Pest Control is a family-owned, independently operated pest control company headquartered right in Round Rock, Texas, where owner Tyson Kearns moved his family from the Rocky Mountains in 2013 to plant roots and build a business from the ground up. Round Rock is not just a service area for Stride. It is home base. Tyson brought nine years of pest control industry experience into the company, having worked as a technician, in management, and as Chief Marketing Officer at Preventive Pest Control before launching Stride on a simple mission: to provide the best possible pest control service, in the nicest possible way. What started as a one-person operation has grown into a team of over 20 employees serving Austin, San Antonio, Waco, and dozens of Central Texas communities. The company holds Texas Department of Agriculture Structural Pest Control licenses, is fully insured, and requires background checks on every employee before they enter a customer's home.

The certifications behind Stride's Round Rock operation put the company in rare company within the pest management industry. Stride holds both QualityPro and GreenPro certifications through the National Pest Management Association's Foundation for Professional Pest Management. QualityPro is widely recognized as the industry's highest accreditation, requiring adherence to 16 standards that exceed state and federal requirements, including drug-free workplace policies and comprehensive employee screening. GreenPro certifies the company's commitment to reduced-risk, environmentally responsible treatment methods. Stride also holds QualityPro certifications in Public Health, Schools, and Food Safety, making the team qualified to serve sensitive commercial environments alongside residential properties. Austin/Round Rock Office Manager Michael Honeycutt carries an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) designation through the Entomological Society of America, a credential that requires at least five years of experience and a comprehensive entomology examination. The company is an active member of the Texas Pest Control Association, the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce, and the Cedar Park Chamber of Commerce, and in 2025 Stride was voted Best Pest Control Company in the 12th Annual Best of Round Rock Awards, a community-driven recognition program that drew 50,000 votes across 191 categories and 943 businesses. Stride also received the Platinum award in the Round Rock Community Votes 2025 program. Both the Austin and San Antonio locations maintain a BBB A+ rating with zero complaints on file.

With a 4.9-star rating across more than 2,400 verified reviews on Google, Yelp, and Facebook, Stride's reputation in Round Rock is built on over a decade of documented results from nearly 12,000 customers served. Technicians like Cade, Alexander, Jonah, Raul, Ramone, Tyler, Henry, and David are regularly called out by name in reviews for their thoroughness, knowledge, and the kind of attention to detail that customers describe as unlike any pest control experience they have had before. The company offers same-day service when you call before 3 PM, guarantees service within 24 hours, and backs every maintenance plan with unlimited free re-services between scheduled visits. If the problem comes back, Stride comes back at no extra charge. In 13 years and nearly 12,000 customers, the company has never had to issue a refund under its satisfaction guarantee.
