TPCL stands for Texas Pest Control License, issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA). It is required for any business performing structural pest control in Texas. The license must be renewed annually and requires proof of insurance, a certified applicator on staff, and compliance with TDA regulations.

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 two-step method is most effective: first, broadcast a bait product across your entire yard when ants are actively foraging (mornings or evenings in moderate weather). Then, treat individual mounds directly with a contact insecticide 3–5 days later. Professional treatment is recommended for large properties or persistent infestations.
