Pest control in Brownsville
Spraying in Brownsville runs by zone: the Vector Control Division splits the city into 33 of them. Trucks run from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. or from 6 p.m. to midnight, never when wind is over 10 mph, and the city's timeline puts mosquito spraying about 7 to 9 days after heavy rain. In DSHS's preliminary Week 42 report, data through October 24, 2026, Cameron County had 0 West Nile positive mosquito pools and 1 reported human case.
Weekly figures may change. A bat was the only rabies positive among 63 Cameron County animals tested in 2024. Along the Gulf coast or in more southerly parts of Texas, drywood termites are "a common pest," AgriLife Extension writes, though the eastern subterranean species is the one most often found. The two are handled differently in TDA's Termite FAQ. A drywood colony is spot treated, fumigated or physically removed; a structure with subterranean termites can't be retreated every year unless re-infestation is clearly evident.
TDA's SPCS CSV downloaded October 29, 2026, lists 71 commercial business license rows with Cameron County as the licensed location. This is a count of license-address rows, not unique companies or proof of service coverage; branch offices count separately. Census survey figures for 2020-2024 date the median Brownsville home to 1995. Faced with a proposal for yearly retreatment, ask what evidence of re-infestation the company found, and have that written on the proposal next to the certified applicator's name.
