Pest control in Little Elm
Free mosquito larvicide tablets are available to Little Elm residents at 1600 Mark Tree Ln, Little Elm, TX 75068.

Adult traps across town track populations and provide West Nile Virus testing samples. High activity or disease detected through surveillance can trigger targeted fogging.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Little Elm
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.
