Common signs include droppings, gnaw marks, damaged wood, shed wings near windows, unusual odors, live or dead insects, nests or webs in corners, and scratching sounds in walls or attic. If you spot any of these, a professional inspection can identify the pest species and the extent of the problem.

The TDA issues licenses with specific category codes: P (General Pest Control), T (Termite Treatment), L (Lawn & Landscape), W (Wildlife Removal), C (Crack & Crevice), S (Structural Fumigation), and D (Waste Disposal). Each category authorizes different types of pest management work.

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's warm, humid climate is ideal for cockroaches. The American cockroach (palmetto bug) thrives outdoors in mulch and sewers but enters homes seeking water. German cockroaches infest kitchens and bathrooms. The state's long warm season means roach populations remain active nearly year-round, making regular pest control essential.
