Green Philosophy

If you're reading this, you're probably aware that we like to do things a bit differently at Chem-free Organic Pest and Lawn Services. Since 1990, we've been the Austin areas leading provider of totally natural, low-impact pest control solutions. 

Our Green Philosophy

Our green philosophy is simple: execute the most effective, longest-lasting pest control program possible without jeopardizing the health and well-being of our customers, their kids, their pets or the natural environment in which they live. We're proud to do our part to leave Austin area in even better shape than we found it - and to afford future generations the same opportunities to experience the natural world that ours currently has.

Following the Tenets of Integrated Pest Management

Our green philosophy revolves around the concept of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a holistic approach to pest control that balances our duty to remove unwanted pests from our clients' properties and our imperative to reduce our environmental impact. IPM's basic tenets include:

• Using "least-toxic" controls
• Modifying insect or animal habitats and removing breeding sources
• Carefully monitoring existing pest populations

Walking the Walk

At Chem-free, we strive to lead by example. Since just about every company in our eco-friendly neck of the woods now claims to be "sustainable" and "environmentally conscious," consumers have become adept at figuring out who's genuine and who's blowing smoke. That's why we're proud to carry Green Pro & Quality Pro certification, an eco-friendly distinction awarded to less than 1% of pest control companies in the United States. If you're talking to anyone about eco-conscious pest control or lawn services, ask them if they're Green Pro or Quality Pro certified.

Please join us every Sunday at 10:00am.

Church of the Springs sponsors a Thursday Night Celebrate Recovery Meeting at 7:00 PM. We're a small but growing chapter. We run both a men's and a women's A-Z group at this time. Learn more at www.churchofthesprings.org/CR.

Trust a Neighbor – Trust in Trey 

Through City Bank Mortgage (Texas Owned, Texas based) Trey offers the full spectrum of residential mortgage services.  Purchase, refinance, residential construction, property. 

Trey ventured into mortgage lending later in life after a successful 20 year career working the state legislature as a lobbyist, association executive, and legislative director for a statewide elected official. He brought to his Mortgage business the same qualities that earned him the respect of many at the state capitol – honesty, integrity, fairness and a genuine passion for helping others.

He stays very involved in charitable/community causes through the church, as a long time board member of Rodeo Austin, and as the Founder, Past President, and a current board member of the Lone Star Cattlemen Foundation, a 501c3 that donates over $250,000/year to deserving youth in Central Texas.  He serves as a board member for the Hays Country Farm Bureau and is chair of the scholarship committee.

Trey founded the Hill Country Christian Business Networking Alliance, uniting Christian Men and women who wish to grow their businesses in a manner that glorifies God.

He was very involved as a volunteer at Walnut Springs Elementary. 

“Hey Trey, can you build us a…” 

“YES  MA’AM!”

Finally, as the man in the orange vest directing traffic each morning from Walnut Springs Elementary onto Sportsplex Drive, Trey was coined, “The Refi Traffic Guy”.

Away from work and civic activities, he will be found with his two children in the barn (show steers), at the deer lease, fishing, or in the woodshop.
