Exterminators across the state are listed here city by city: 2,169 companies in 405 cities and towns, from pest control, animal control, bee relocation and bird control trades. Each city page ranks its companies by Google rating weighted by review count, and every paid placement carries a label.
The state's climate changes from east to west. The eastern third is subtropical and humid, the central third has hot summers and dry winters, the High Plains are semi-arid with wide daily temperature swings, and the Trans-Pecos basins are arid. Yearly rainfall runs from under 10 inches (25 cm) in the far west to over 60 inches (152 cm) in the extreme southeast, and humidity falls from east to west.
Pests follow those lines. Subterranean termites live throughout the state, drywood termites turn up more in coastal areas such as Houston and Corpus Christi, and the Formosan subterranean termite is concentrated on the upper Gulf Coast. Termite swarms begin in January or February in South Texas and wait until April or May in the Panhandle. Red imported fire ants infest more than the eastern two-thirds of the state, and fire ant mounds are smaller and harder to spot on the High Plains. Turkestan cockroaches are spreading in the west and El Paso, and the number of scorpion species rises toward the west.
One rule holds in every city. The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), through its Structural Pest Control Service (SPCS), licenses every business and individual who does pest control for hire. Check a license in the TDA's active license files or call 866-918-4481, before you hire. This directory does not verify licenses.
Two services carry rules of their own. A person paid to remove a honey bee nest must be a registered beekeeper or a licensed pest control professional, and mosquito control for hire for a homeowner or a homeowners association (HOA) needs a license in the Pest category. Pick your city below to compare the exterminators that serve it, or open a service page to see every company that offers that work.
