Licensed pest control companies in Texas use EPA-registered products applied according to label directions, which are safe when used properly. Most treatments require 2–4 hours of drying time before re-entry. Ask your technician about specific precautions for your household, especially for infants, pregnant women, and pets.

A certified applicator is an individual who has passed the TDA examination demonstrating knowledge of pest identification, pesticide safety, application techniques, and state regulations. Texas law requires every pest control business to designate a certified applicator who supervises all pest management activities performed by the company.

The most common Texas pests include fire ants, cockroaches (American and German), termites (subterranean and Formosan), mosquitoes, scorpions, spiders (brown recluse and black widow), wasps, rodents, bed bugs, and fleas/ticks. The warm climate and diverse geography create ideal conditions for a wide variety of pests year-round.

Modern eco-friendly methods including botanical insecticides, essential oil repellents, diatomaceous earth, and biological controls can be effective for many common pests. They work best as part of an IPM program that emphasizes prevention and monitoring. For severe infestations, conventional products may be needed initially before transitioning to green maintenance.

General pest control (Category P) covers common household pests including cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, crickets, centipedes, and occasional invaders. Some companies include mosquito and flea treatments in their general service, while others offer these as add-ons.

Texas has four types of venomous snakes: rattlesnakes (Western diamondback, timber, and others), copperheads (common in East and Central Texas), cottonmouths/water moccasins (near water sources), and coral snakes (Southeast Texas). If you cannot identify a snake, keep your distance and call a wildlife removal professional.
