Most Texas homes benefit from quarterly pest control treatments due to the warm climate that keeps pests active year-round. Properties with ongoing issues or those near wooded areas may need monthly service. An annual termite inspection is recommended even if you have no visible signs of activity.

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.

Texas has two medically significant spider species: the brown recluse (found statewide, especially in Central Texas) and the black widow (found throughout the state). Brown recluse bites can cause tissue necrosis, while black widow bites can cause muscle pain and systemic symptoms. Most other Texas spiders are harmless.
