Licensing and rules for pest control in Kingsville
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.
