Pest control in Galveston
Galveston County doesn't spray private roads or properties. Its mosquito services are available to all county residents and include inspections, larvicide applications and truck sprays. Galveston's city page lists spray hours as Monday through Friday, 8:00 p.m. to 4:30 a.m., with airplane spraying starting at sunrise. The county announces evening spray schedules after 4pm. Texas DSHS prevention advice applies around your Galveston home: remove containers or empty them weekly, and use larvicide dunks for water that won't drain.
Refresh birdbath and wading-pool water several times weekly. Keep doors and screens closed. The Texas Department of Agriculture requires a structural license in the Pest category for private nuisance mosquito treatment sold to homeowners. Neighborhood spray requests go to Galveston County Mosquito Control at 800-842-5622, the contact published by the city. Questions about the county program can also go to mosquito.control@co.galveston.tx.us.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Galveston
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.
