Reputable companies typically offer a satisfaction guarantee with free re-treatments between scheduled visits if pests return. Termite treatments often come with 1–5 year warranties, sometimes renewable annually. Always get guarantees in writing and understand what specific pests and conditions are covered.

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 mosquitoes can transmit West Nile virus, Zika virus, dengue fever, and chikungunya. West Nile is the most common mosquito-borne illness in Texas, with cases reported annually. Standing water elimination and professional mosquito treatments are the most effective prevention methods.
