Pest control in Katy
Municipal mosquito coverage stops at Katy's city limits. A Katy mailing address doesn't establish eligibility for the posted program, which runs April through October and reaches each part of the city weekly, Monday through Thursday. Increased mosquito activity or inclement weather can change the schedule. For water-filled containers around your Katy home, Texas DSHS recommends emptying at least weekly or removal, with larvicide dunks for water you can't empty. Private nuisance mosquito treatment sold to Katy homeowners requires a structural license in the Pest category.
The regulator is the Texas Department of Agriculture. Questions about municipal mosquito service, including whether it covers your property, go to Katy Public Works at 281-391-4820 or publicworksinfo@cityofkaty.com.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Katy
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.
