Greenforest Termite & Pest Control

Category P authorizes the company to perform general structural pest control services. This is the most common license category and covers the identification, treatment, and prevention of common household and commercial pests.

Why it matters: Category P is the foundation license for most pest control companies. It ensures the company has trained technicians who understand pest biology, proper pesticide application, and safety protocols for treating homes and businesses.

Category T authorizes the company to inspect for, treat, and prevent termite infestations. This is a specialized license requiring additional training in termite biology, soil treatment, and structural assessment.

Why it matters: Termite treatment requires specialized knowledge of soil chemistry, building construction, and treatment techniques. An incorrect application can fail to protect the structure or cause environmental damage. The T category ensures the company meets TDA standards for termite work.

Category L authorizes the application of pesticides to lawns, ornamental plants, trees, and landscape areas. This license covers outdoor pest management separate from structural pest control.

Why it matters: Lawn and landscape pesticide application requires understanding of turf grass species, plant sensitivity, environmental considerations like runoff, and proper timing for effective treatment. The L category ensures the applicator is trained in outdoor-specific pest management.

Category W authorizes the humane removal and exclusion of nuisance wildlife from structures and properties. Operators must comply with both TDA and Texas Parks & Wildlife Department regulations.

Why it matters: Wildlife removal requires knowledge of animal behavior, humane trapping methods, species-specific regulations, and exclusion techniques. Improper removal can violate state and federal wildlife protection laws. The W category ensures compliance with all applicable regulations.

Category C authorizes the targeted application of pesticides into cracks, crevices, and voids where pests harbor. This precision method minimizes chemical exposure in the surrounding environment.

Why it matters: Crack and crevice treatment requires precision and knowledge of pest harboring behavior. Improper application in sensitive environments like restaurants or healthcare facilities can result in contamination. This license ensures the technician is trained in targeted application methods.

Category S authorizes whole-structure fumigation using gaseous pesticides. This is the most restrictive license category due to the hazardous nature of fumigants and the complexity of the process.

Why it matters: Fumigation involves lethal gases that require specialized training, equipment, and strict safety protocols. Incorrect procedures can endanger lives. The S category requires the highest level of training and oversight, including specific fumigant certifications.
