Most pest control companies offer re-treatment guarantees — if pests return between scheduled visits, they will re-treat at no additional charge. This is standard with ongoing service plans. For one-time treatments, ask about the warranty period. Persistent issues may indicate entry points that need sealing or environmental factors that need addressing.

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.
