Pest control in Longview
Larviciding comes ahead of fogging for Longview's Environmental Health. Its technicians treat standing water in ditches, culverts and flood plains, and they'll do a targeted treatment on request; mosquito concerns go to 903-237-1285 or the CitySend app. For rats and mice, the city's Code Compliance Rodent Reduction page lists the steps residents can take. Wildlife is a different call. DSHS says not to handle a wild animal whether it looks healthy or sick, and names coyotes, foxes, bats, skunks and raccoons among the wild animals that carry rabies.
It spreads through saliva, typically a bite; you can't get it from being sprayed by a skunk. If someone is bitten, wash the wound with soap and water and get medical help. Texas also requires dogs and cats to be vaccinated by 4 months of age, by a veterinarian holding a license. Longview's 2023 ACS count is 82,765 residents, with 54.8% of homes dating from before 1980; its 2020-2024 median build year is 1978.
For rodents, start with the Rodent Reduction steps. For standing water near you, ask Environmental Health for the targeted treatment it offers on request, and if you hire for rodents, ask the company to name the animal from droppings or damage before it sets bait.
