Pest control in Georgetown
Georgetown residents can search their address on the district's Mosquito Surveillance Dashboard and select a red treatment zone for its schedule. Georgetown is a founding member government of Williamson County and Cities Health District, whose dashboard shows positive traps, West Nile activity and planned mosquito-control treatment areas. A West Nile-positive trap doesn't automatically trigger treatment, because species, location and surveillance trends also affect the decision. Private-property treatment is excluded for fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and rodents.
For nuisance mosquito services sold to homeowners or homeowners associations, the Texas Department of Agriculture requires a structural license in the Pest category. For water-holding containers at a Georgetown home, Texas DSHS recommends emptying them weekly or removing them, with larvicide dunks for any water you can't empty. Beekeepers in a mosquito management area can contact mosquito@wilcotx.gov. Integrated Vector Management is at 355 Texas Ave in Round Rock. Its phone is 512-248-3273.
What pest control costs near Georgetown
Because no one has sent us a quote from Georgetown, 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.
Licensing and rules for pest control in Georgetown
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.
