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.

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.

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.

Do not attempt to remove wasp nests yourself, especially paper wasp nests, yellow jacket ground nests, or large hornet nests. Wasps can sting repeatedly and attack in numbers when their nest is threatened. A licensed pest control professional can safely remove the nest and treat the area to discourage rebuilding.
