Most Texas homes benefit from quarterly pest control treatments due to the warm climate that keeps pests active year-round. Properties with ongoing issues or those near wooded areas may need monthly service. An annual termite inspection is recommended even if you have no visible signs of activity.

The TDA issues licenses with specific category codes: P (Pest Control), T (Termite Control), L (Lawn & Ornamental), W (Weed Control), C (Commodity Fumigation), S (Structural Fumigation), and D (Wood Preservation). Each category authorizes different types of pest management work. Notably, the P category covers rodents and nuisance animals such as rats, mice, skunks, raccoons, and opossums — there is no separate wildlife removal license.

Texas faces unique challenges including Formosan termite colonies in the Gulf region, fire ant infestations across most of the state, extreme heat that drives pests indoors, a long warm season that keeps pests active year-round, and a diverse geography ranging from humid coastlines to arid deserts, each with different pest pressures.

Modern eco-friendly methods including botanical insecticides, essential oil repellents, diatomaceous earth, and biological controls can be effective for many common pests. They work best as part of an IPM program that emphasizes prevention and monitoring. For severe infestations, conventional products may be needed initially before transitioning to green maintenance.

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.
