Pest control in Duncanville
Duncanville requires owners and occupants to keep private pools and spas from harboring or breeding insects and rodents. The Health Department requires pool pumps to operate at least 8 hours daily and chlorine levels of at least 1 ppm to prevent mosquito breeding. Violations continuing beyond 10 days can lead to further city legal action. The city's mosquito pesticide FAQ names permethrin as the pesticide Dallas County uses. Only a tablespoon of water is needed for mosquitoes to breed, Texas DSHS warns.
Its prevention advice calls for removing or draining containers every week, changing water several times weekly in birdbaths and wading pools, and using larvicide dunks for water you can't empty. Reports of poorly maintained pools and abandoned homes that may breed mosquitoes, along with requests for scheduled ground-spraying information, go to (972) 780-5041, option 0. Residents can request addition to the city's mosquito no-spray list at (972) 780-5000.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Duncanville
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.
