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 mosquitoes can transmit West Nile virus, Zika virus, dengue fever, and chikungunya. West Nile is the most common mosquito-borne illness in Texas, with cases reported annually. Standing water elimination and professional mosquito treatments are the most effective prevention methods.
