Pest control costs in Texas typically range from $150 to $350 for a one-time treatment, depending on property size and pest type. Quarterly plans usually run $100–$200 per visit. Termite treatments and fumigation cost more, often $500–$2,500 depending on the severity and method used.

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.

The striped bark scorpion is the most common species in Texas. Its sting is painful (similar to a bee sting) but rarely medically significant for healthy adults. Children, elderly individuals, and those with allergies may have stronger reactions. If stung, apply ice and monitor for unusual symptoms. Seek medical attention for severe reactions.
