Each category is a separate authorization on TPCL #954958, so the company may only perform work it is explicitly licensed for. Notably, it is one of only 41 of the 126 active companies in San Antonio licensed for lawn & landscape care.

Among the 121 rated pest control companies in San Antonio, TruGuard Pest Control ranks #73 by Google rating (4.9 stars vs. a local average of 4.8).

A standard interior/exterior treatment takes 30–60 minutes for an average-sized home. Termite inspections take 1–2 hours. Full termite treatments may require a full day. Fumigation involves 2–3 days of preparation, treatment, and aeration. Your technician will provide a time estimate based on your property.

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'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.
