A certified applicator is an individual who has passed the TDA examination demonstrating knowledge of pest identification, pesticide safety, application techniques, and state regulations. Texas law requires every pest control business to designate a certified applicator who supervises all pest management activities performed by the company.

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.

Termites are found throughout Texas, but subterranean termites are especially active in the eastern and southern regions with higher moisture levels. The Gulf Coast and East Texas have the highest termite pressure, including aggressive Formosan termites. Regardless of location, annual inspections are recommended for all Texas homeowners.
