Licensed pest control companies in Texas use EPA-registered products applied according to label directions, which are safe when used properly. Most treatments require 2–4 hours of drying time before re-entry. Ask your technician about specific precautions for your household, especially for infants, pregnant women, and pets.

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.

Effective flea elimination requires treating three areas simultaneously: pets (consult your veterinarian), the home interior (professional spray targeting carpet, furniture, and pet resting areas), and the yard (outdoor treatment of shaded areas). A single flea can lay 50 eggs per day, so complete treatment is essential to break the life cycle.
