If you spot any of these, a professional inspection can identify the pest species and the extent of the problem.

An inactive license means the company has not renewed their TPCL with the Texas Department of Agriculture. This could be due to business closure, failure to meet insurance requirements, or voluntary non-renewal. Companies with inactive licenses cannot legally perform pest control services in Texas.

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.

Texas's warm, humid climate is ideal for cockroaches. The American cockroach (palmetto bug) thrives outdoors in mulch and sewers but enters homes seeking water. German cockroaches infest kitchens and bathrooms. The state's long warm season means roach populations remain active nearly year-round, making regular pest control essential.
