About
About Justin Crawford
Owner at Summit Pest Defense
Justin Crawford is an owner of Summit Pest Defense, the family-owned pest control company based in Kyle, Texas. Summit has been in the same family for three generations, and Justin runs it today alongside Curtis and Amanda.
He works the way a family business should. He is in the field, not behind a desk, and the family name on the truck is the same name on your invoice. His approach comes down to one idea: diagnose first, treat second. Every property gets a real walk-through to find the entry points and conditions that bring pests in, instead of a fifteen minute perimeter spray and a ninety day disappearance.
Justin and his team protect homes and businesses across the Texas Hill Country south of Austin, from Kyle and Buda to San Marcos, Dripping Springs, Seguin, and New Braunfels. They handle the pests this part of Texas actually deals with: ants and fire ants, scorpions, termites, mosquitoes, rodents, wasps, fleas and ticks, and wildlife.
The Summit team answers their own phone, routes same-day service when you call before noon, skips the long-term contracts, and stands behind every visit with a free retreatment if anything comes back. Most of their work still comes from referrals, which is how a three-generation business earns its reputation
