How to Verify a Pest Control License in Texas

Texas regulates structural pest control tightly: companies and applicators must be licensed through the Structural Pest Control Service of the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA). Verification is public and quick — do it for anyone treating your property, including anyone we connect you with.

Step by step

1. Use the TDA license search at texasagriculture.gov (Structural Pest Control Service → license search).
2. Check both the business license and the applicator's individual license or technician registration.
3. Confirm the license category covers the work — pests, termites, etc.
4. Ask for the certificate of insurance; Texas requires licensed structural pest control businesses to carry coverage.

Red flags

• No license number on the vehicle, paperwork or website — Texas requires it on advertising.
• Termite “findings” from a door-knocker without a written inspection report.
• Vagueness about what product is applied and what the label requires.
