Authorized service categories (3) under this license
Pest Control (Category P)
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 — officially including nuisance animals such as rats, mice, skunks, raccoons, and opossums (4 TAC §7.124(1)).
What this license covers:
- Cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish, and crickets
- Bed bugs, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes
- Rats, mice, and rodent control
- Nuisance animals: skunks, raccoons, opossums
- Wasps, hornets, and other stinging insects
- Interior and exterior perimeter treatments
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.
Termite Control (Category T)
Category T authorizes the company to inspect for, treat, and prevent termite and other wood-destroying insect infestations. This is a specialized license requiring additional training in termite biology, soil treatment, and structural assessment.
What this license covers:
- Subterranean termite treatment (liquid barriers and bait systems)
- Drywood termite treatment (localized and whole-structure)
- Formosan termite identification and treatment
- Pre-construction termite prevention for new buildings
- Termite inspections and WDI (Wood-Destroying Insect) reports
- Annual monitoring and warranty programs
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.
Lawn & Ornamental (Category L)
Category L authorizes the inspection and control of pests and diseases of lawns, ornamental plants, and trees — in parks and around homes, businesses, industrial sites, and streets. It is the outdoor plant-pest category, separate from structural pest control.
What this license covers:
- Fire ant treatment and yard management
- Grub and chinch bug treatment in turf
- Mosquito yard treatments and barrier sprays
- Flea and tick outdoor applications
- Tree and ornamental insect and disease treatment
- Lawn pest prevention programs
Why it matters: Lawn and ornamental 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. Herbicide weed work is licensed separately under category W.
