About Us Paladin Pest Control
Our Mission
At Paladin Pest Control, we’re on a mission to protect homes, families, and yes, even pets, from the everyday invaders that crawl, scurry, and sneak where they don’t belong.
Based in San Marcos and proudly serving Buda, Kyle, and all the surrounding areas, we know a thing or two about bugs. (Mostly how to outsmart them.)
We’re a little different from the other guys.
First, we don’t just show up, spray, and leave. We partner with you, keeping your home safe year-round with our Seasonal Advantage service, a smart plan that adjusts with Texas’s wild weather swings. From springtime ant armies to fall’s spider parade, we’ve got your back.
And if a pest dares to return? Don’t worry, our Bug-Free Guarantee means we come back too, no extra charge. Your peace of mind is part of the package.
Meet the Team at Paladin Pest Control
Michael Flournoy
Founder, Owner, and Pest Technician
Michael is the owner and primary technician at Paladin Pest Control. He’s been in the pest control industry for over 20 years, protecting his neighbors in the Buda, Kyle, and San Marcos area from horrible little bugs.
At work his days are spent outwitting unwelcome critters and ensuring protection and peace of mind for his clients.
Ben Green
Co-owner and Office Support
Ben Green grew up right here in Buda, TX, in a house that had so many bugs, it could’ve qualified as a wildlife preserve. (It’s no surprise he’s made it his mission to help families live pest-free!)
Today, Ben keeps Paladin Pest Control running smoothly behind the scenes, making sure everything clicks into place like a well-oiled machine.
Hannah Hays
Customer Support Representative
Hi, my name is Hannah! I’m the Customer Service Representative here, and I’m proud to be part of a team that helps our customers feel comfortable and cared for in their homes and businesses.
I grew up in Austin, but these days I’ve put down roots in the Hill Country. When I’m not working, I’m usually spending time with my three dogs, enjoying a day out on the lake, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
I genuinely enjoy helping people and making the experience as smooth and stress free as possible. Being able to support customers and be a friendly, reliable point of contact is something I take a lot of pride in.
Alex Hornbaker
Pest Control Specalist
Hi, I’m Alex! I grew up in Chicago, where I learned the value of hard work, good people, and taking pride in serving others. After spending time serving in the United States Marine Corps, I brought that same discipline and attention to detail into pest control, helping families keep their homes safe, comfortable, and pest-free.
When I’m not out servicing the local community, I’m usually spending time with my wife and daughter, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, relaxing with some gaming, or visiting the Renissance Festival.
I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and helping neighbors solve problems, whether it’s a small nuisance or a bigger pest issue.
I’m proud to serve this community and look forward to helping keep your home protected year-round!

Do In-Wall Pest Control Systems Really Work?
