Key questions include: Are you licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture? What is your TPCL number? What specific treatment do you recommend and why? What products will you use? Do you offer a guarantee or warranty? Are your technicians certified applicators? What preparation is needed on my part?

The TDA issues licenses with specific category codes: P (Pest Control), T (Termite Control), L (Lawn & Ornamental), W (Weed Control), C (Commodity Fumigation), S (Structural Fumigation), and D (Wood Preservation). Each category authorizes different types of pest management work. Notably, the P category covers rodents and nuisance animals such as rats, mice, skunks, raccoons, and opossums — there is no separate wildlife removal license.

Texas pest control is regulated by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) under the Texas Structural Pest Control Act. All pest control businesses must hold a TPCL license, employ a certified applicator, maintain insurance, and follow specific rules for pesticide application, record keeping, and consumer protection.

Licensed Texas companies use EPA-registered products approved for residential and commercial use. Common categories include pyrethroids (synthetic insecticides for general pest barriers), fipronil (effective against ants and termites), neonicotinoids (for various insects), and growth regulators (which disrupt pest reproduction). Your technician should identify specific products used.

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.

Signs include droppings (rice-sized for mice, bean-sized for rats), gnaw marks on food packaging or wires, greasy rub marks along walls, scratching sounds at night, nesting material (shredded paper or fabric), and pet agitation. A single mouse can produce 50–75 droppings per day, making detection easier.
