Pest Management —People Holding Business Of The Month Poster in Rockport,TX

Albin Exterminating, Inc., was established in Rockport, Texas, in 1978. Since then, the company has grown to include seven employees and today offers a wide range of pest control services to both commercial and residential customers in Aransas County.

Our commitment to quality and customer care is not complicated. For us it means employing only highly trained, credentialed employees; offering a clear, easy-to-understand warranty and termite service agreement; maintaining a drug-free workplace; advertising truthfully and ethically; and maintaining an up-to-date insurance policy.

Every Albin Exterminating technician that comes to your home has undergone a criminal background check, drug screening and a motor vehicle check and offers a service warranty on most of the services they do for your home.

Research and Innovation

Albin Exterminating has partnered with manufacturers like Bayer, BASF, FMC and institutions such as Texas A&M University in developing new products and methods for controlling pests like wooly worms and Formosan termites.

The company was the first to recognize an infestation of the highly destructive Formosans in the area, and has provided expert testimony before the Environmental Protection Agency on the subject of termiticide efficacy.

Training and Technology

All Albin Exterminating technicians exceed the minimum training required by state law. We are the only local pest control company utilizing infrared technology for pest and termite control.

Quality Pro Designation

In 2006, Albin Exterminating was the first independently owned company in the Coastal Bend to earn the prestigious Quality-Pro designation from the National Pest Management Association. In mid-2008 Albin Exterminating was chosen to withdraw its membership from both the National Association and the Texas Pest Control Association, thereby giving up the Quality-Pro designation. We did maintain the high standards required for the designation, and hope to re-apply at some point.

The reason for our decision was that the TPCA has exceedingly lax standards for membership, and companies that operated in a less than ethical way were still welcomed in as members as long as they paid their $75 membership fee. Since there was a reciprocal agreement between the two associations, we could not leave one without giving up membership to the other. This membership was forcing us to be associated with companies whether or not they had the same high standards as Albin Exterminating.

This was a difficult decision, but we just could not participate in an organization (TPCA) that allows unethical operators to cast a shadow on our reputation.

Did NPMA do good things for the industry? Absolutely! Did TPCA do good things for the industry? Without question. But this one issue is far too significant to be ignored. TPCA has indicated that they would be working on this issue. Once resolved, Albin Exterminating will again become a participating member of both associations.
