Each category is a separate authorization on TPCL #928222, so the company may only perform work it is explicitly licensed for. Notably, it is one of only 3 of the 64 active companies in McKinney licensed for commodity fumigation.

Yes. Getting 2–3 estimates is recommended. Compare not just price but also the scope of service, products used, guarantees offered, and customer reviews. The cheapest option is not always the best — look for licensed, well-reviewed companies that clearly explain their treatment plan.

The TDA issues licenses with specific category codes: P (Pest Control), T (Termite Control), L (Lawn & Ornamental), W (Weed Control), C (Commodity Fumigation), S (Structural Fumigation), and D (Wood Preservation). Each category authorizes different types of pest management work. Notably, the P category covers rodents and nuisance animals such as rats, mice, skunks, raccoons, and opossums — there is no separate wildlife removal license.

The most common Texas pests include fire ants, cockroaches (American and German), termites (subterranean and Formosan), mosquitoes, scorpions, spiders (brown recluse and black widow), wasps, rodents, bed bugs, and fleas/ticks. The warm climate and diverse geography create ideal conditions for a wide variety of pests year-round.

Modern eco-friendly methods including botanical insecticides, essential oil repellents, diatomaceous earth, and biological controls can be effective for many common pests. They work best as part of an IPM program that emphasizes prevention and monitoring. For severe infestations, conventional products may be needed initially before transitioning to green maintenance.

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.
