Pest control in Abilene
Abilene's mosquito program runs through the Environmental Health division of the Abilene-Taylor County Public Health District at 850 North 6th Street, with a Mosquito Hotline at (325) 437-4590. Environmental Health asks residents to report standing water and broken sewer lines, and its Mosquito Education page has a Spraying for Adult Mosquitos FAQ and a public opinion survey. Texas licenses pest companies by category, as TDA prints them. Pest control covers insects and pest animals such as roaches, silverfish, ants, flies, mosquitoes, rats and mice.
Termite control covers termites, beetles and other wood destroying organisms by means other than fumigation. Structural fumigation, lawn and ornamental, weed control and wood preservation are separate categories again, so a company can hold one and not another. A city can't add its own layer: the archived 2018 copy of the Occupations Code (section 1951.005) leaves local governments only a few pesticide matters, among them zoning where products are sold or stored and fire or building codes.
The 2020-2024 ACS gives Abilene a median build year of 1975, and the 2023 ACS counts 57.0% of homes built before 1980. Before you call, photograph what you found next to a coin for scale; then ask each company that quotes which of its categories covers that pest, and get the license number on the estimate.
What pest control costs near Abilene
Because no one has sent us a quote from Abilene, there's no price for the city itself. The Texas page lists the estimates with what pest control workers are paid ($19.90 an hour in the BLS wage data, which is pay, not price) and the state license fees. How we estimate costs.
