Pest control in Odessa
A pest control business serving Odessa must pay Texas's $300 commercial business license fee, and TDA says it can't conduct business or advertise until the license is issued. Each branch needs its own. For each location, the department also requires liability insurance of at least $500,000 to be filed with it. If a company advertises to you and can't show a business license, call SPCS on (866) 918-4481 to report it.
Pesticide misuse and inaccurate termite reports also go to SPCS, which assigns an inspector who will contact you about the complaint. Odessa's homes have a median build year of 1980 (ACS, 2020 to 2024). Neighboring Midland is 16.9 miles away. Ask the city directly which office takes mosquito complaints, and ask any company for its business license number before a home visit.
