Authorized service categories (2) under this license

P

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.

T

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.
