Pest control in Dallas
Dallas Code Compliance's Consumer Health office runs the city's mosquito program and also answers questions about rats, roaches and other insects at (214) 670-8083, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. To keep the trucks from spraying near you, file a 311 request each season for the Do Not Ground Spray List. A 2021 release shows how a spray night ran then. On August 19, 2021, after a West Nile positive sample, the city set ground spraying between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. on two nights and told residents to stay indoors.
That's an old notice, not this season's schedule. In DSHS's preliminary Week 42 report, data through October 24, 2026, Dallas County had 189 West Nile positive mosquito pools and 6 reported human cases. Weekly figures may change. In 2024, none of the 559 animals Dallas County submitted for rabies testing were positive. TDA's SPCS CSV downloaded October 29, 2026, lists 230 commercial business license rows with Dallas 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. Texas treats identifying an infestation, making recommendations and giving an estimate as pest control work when it's done for pay, so a company needs its license before it inspects, even if it's one person. Ask for that license number before anyone walks the house, and ask the inspector to name the insect before you look at a plan.
What pest control costs near Dallas
Because no one has sent us a quote from Dallas, 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.
