Chem Turf

Yes. Chem Turf holds an active Structural Pest Control Business License, TPCL #667876, issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture. The license was first issued on February 28, 2013 and is valid through February 28, 2027. The certified applicator responsible for the license is EFREN TEJEDA.

Chem Turf is licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture for 3 service categories: pest control, lawn & landscape care, and wildlife removal. Each category is a separate authorization on TPCL #667876, so the company may only perform work it is explicitly licensed for. Notably, it is one of only 7 of the 18 active companies in Abilene licensed for wildlife removal.

Among the 16 rated pest control companies in Abilene, Chem Turf ranks #5 by Google rating (5 stars vs. a local average of 4.8).

Reputable companies typically offer a satisfaction guarantee with free re-treatments between scheduled visits if pests return. Termite treatments often come with 1–5 year warranties, sometimes renewable annually. Always get guarantees in writing and understand what specific pests and conditions are covered.

An inactive license means the company has not renewed their TPCL with the Texas Department of Agriculture. This could be due to business closure, failure to meet insurance requirements, or voluntary non-renewal. Companies with inactive licenses cannot legally perform pest control services in Texas.

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.
