Pest control in Azle
Azle residents can request a trap and mosquito testing on their property at (817) 444-7127. The city doesn't spray in response to complaints about mosquito activity. Azle works with Tarrant County and other cities on surveillance and response, trapping from May until activity decreases, usually in November. The brochure describes gravid traps. Collected mosquitoes go to the Tarrant County Public Health laboratory, which tests for St. Louis encephalitis and West Nile virus.
A positive West Nile test triggers contracted spraying within an approximate 1/2 mile radius between 9:30 PM and 5:00 AM. Private home mosquito service requires a structural license. The required category is Pest, under Texas Department of Agriculture rules. For government mosquito work, employees and hired contractors need the agricultural Public Health Pest Control license category.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Azle
Texas cities don't license pest control companies. TDA's Structural Pest Control Service licenses the business, its certified applicators and its technicians, and state law bars a city from adopting its own rules on pesticide sale or use, apart from exceptions such as fire and building rules for fumigation. Ask for the company's TDA business license number before anyone treats the house.
