Pest control in Denton
Denton's Fight the Bite page lists the city's trap results that the state has confirmed positive for West Nile. As of October 23, 2026, the page showed the city at "Mosquito Risk Level 4: Public Health Warning," a label from Denton's yearly Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan, whose main goal is fewer adult mosquitoes through getting rid of breeding grounds. Denton County had 38 West Nile positive mosquito pools and 6 reported human cases in DSHS's preliminary Week 42 report, covering data through October 24, 2026.
Weekly figures may change. The county's 2024 rabies summary lists 176 animals tested and 2 positive, both skunks. Once you're hiring someone for your yard, state rules apply. A company working for a homeowner or HOA is doing nuisance mosquito control under TDA's structural Pest category, while public crews and their contractors work under Public Health Pest Control, a separate agricultural license. Installing a misting system usually needs the Pest category too.
TDA's SPCS CSV downloaded October 29, 2026, lists 122 commercial business license rows with Denton 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. The ACS for 2020 to 2024 puts Denton's owner-occupied share at 50.0%. Check Fight the Bite's trap list before hiring; any yard company you then call should give you its license number in the Pest category and the product label before the first visit.
