Pest control in Garland
Garland sits in Dallas County. DSHS's preliminary Week 42 report, data through October 24, 2026, lists 189 West Nile positive mosquito pools and 6 reported human cases there; weekly figures may change. Its 2024 rabies line reads 559 animals tested and zero positives. No mosquito or rodent program appears on Garland's city pages, so before you wait on a spray truck, ask city hall who handles it. 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. A company licenses each office separately, so the figure counts offices, not the crews that cover Garland. In Garland, the 2020-2024 Census figures show a median build year of 1978 and an owner-occupied share of 61.6%. Renters have a Texas rule of their own. AgriLife Extension's apartment guide says multifamily housing, hotels and other lodging must be treated for pests by a pesticide applicator who holds a license, and that it would be illegal for an apartment employee without one to treat a unit for bed bugs, even with store products or heat.
Tenants, it says, should report suspected bed bugs right away, ideally by phone and on paper; who pays isn't addressed. Tenants should write to the manager about the bed bugs, then ask which company will treat and for its license number.
What pest control costs near Garland
Because no one has sent us a quote from Garland, 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.
