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 has two medically significant spider species: the brown recluse (found statewide, especially in Central Texas) and the black widow (found throughout the state). Brown recluse bites can cause tissue necrosis, while black widow bites can cause muscle pain and systemic symptoms. Most other Texas spiders are harmless.
