The Kepfer Company

Yes. The Kepfer Company holds an active Structural Pest Control Business License, TPCL #568903, issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture. The license was first issued on January 1, 1990 and is valid through December 31, 2026. The certified applicator responsible for the license is MICHAEL G KOPESKY.

The Kepfer Company is licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture for 3 service categories: pest control, termite treatment, and lawn & landscape care. Each category is a separate authorization on TPCL #568903, so the company may only perform work it is explicitly licensed for. Notably, it is one of only 79 of the 258 active companies in Houston licensed for lawn & landscape care.

Among the 240 rated pest control companies in Houston, The Kepfer Company ranks #70 by Google rating (5 stars vs. a local average of 4.7). Its 4 customer reviews put it ahead of 7% of local rated companies by review volume. The company has held its TPCL license since 1990, longer than 86% of active licensees in Houston.

The Kepfer Company is open on Saturdays (9 AM to 6 PM) but closed on Sundays. Hours reflect the company’s current Google Business Profile and may change on holidays.

The Kepfer Company operates out of Houston in HARRIS County, Texas. No street address is on file with the TDA for this license, which is common for home-based or service-area businesses. Pest control companies typically serve customers within a 20–30 mile radius, so nearby communities across HARRIS County are usually within its service area.

DIY methods can help with minor issues like occasional ants or spiders. However, infestations of termites, bed bugs, rodents, or recurring roaches typically require professional treatment. Licensed technicians have access to commercial-grade products, specialized equipment, and the training to apply treatments safely and effectively.

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.

Termites are found throughout Texas, but subterranean termites are especially active in the eastern and southern regions with higher moisture levels. The Gulf Coast and East Texas have the highest termite pressure, including aggressive Formosan termites. Regardless of location, annual inspections are recommended for all Texas homeowners.
