Use a Licensed Applicator to Control Rodents in Your Home
As the weather cools down, rodents like mice and rats look for warmer environments to seek
shelter from the outdoors. If rodents invade your home or business, take action by hiring a pest
management professional to eliminate these pests. You will want to make sure any individual
you hire is properly licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) to perform pest
control work.
In Texas, licensed pest control applicators must go through proper training, subject exams and
criminal background checks. However, there is always a possibility of individuals performing
pest control services without the proper training, licenses and insurance.
To ensure your family is protected and rodents properly eliminated, remember the following
when hiring a pest control applicator:
• Ask for their credentials. If the applicator does not have their license with them and/or
their Texas Pest Control License (TPCL) number is not displayed on their service
vehicle, this should be an immediate red flag. Do not sign any forms or contracts until
you have checked the license status of the pesticide applicator and/or company.
• Check their references. It is always a good idea to have references on a potential pest
control company or individual applicator. Check them out, and find out what others have
to say about their service.
• Get several estimates. Talk with several licensed pest control companies and get
estimates from each of them. This will help you make an informed decision on which
company to use.
