Commercial Pest Control across the state

Commercial pest control companies treat restaurants, offices, warehouses, apartment complexes and other business property, and every company below offers commercial service. Commercial work in Texas carries its own notice rules. Rental properties of 5 or more units, workplaces, hospitals, nursing homes, hotels, warehouses, food plants, schools and day care centers post a pest control sign or give other notice at least 48 hours before a planned indoor treatment. The sign gives a phone number for pesticide information and the National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC) line. Both the customer and the certified applicator sign a statement to waive the notice, for an imminent health hazard.

Apartments, hotels and other lodging are treated by a licensed applicator. A noncommercial license covers an employee doing pest control for the employee's own employer and is never used for hire. Every contract, warranty and service agreement shows 4 business details, the name, license number, address and phone, plus a statement that the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) licenses and regulates the business. A property manager checks each of those details against the state's license files.
