Pest control in Plano
Water standing more than a week can be reported to Plano at 972-941-7143, and an Environmental Quality Specialist investigates. The city's Mosquito Abatement program sets up to 20 traps each week, out of 39 monitored locations set bi-weekly, to survey species and test for mosquito-borne disease. On public property it removes breeding sources, applies an EPA-approved larvicide and may stock mosquitofish. In DSHS's preliminary Week 42 report, data through October 24, 2026, Collin County had 26 West Nile positive mosquito pools and no reported human cases.
Weekly figures may change. Rabies testing in Collin County in 2024 covered 250 animals and turned up 6 positives, including 2 skunks and 3 bats. Plano can't license pest companies. Section 1951.005 of the Occupations Code, as archived in 2018, bars cities from writing their own rules on selling or using pesticides, except in areas it lists such as fire and building codes. TDA requires a license of anyone who inspects, advises or bids on pest work for pay, however small the business.
TDA's SPCS CSV downloaded October 29, 2026, lists 145 commercial business license rows with Collin County as the licensed location. This is a count of license-address rows, not unique companies or proof of service coverage; branch offices count separately. The Census Bureau's five-year survey ending in 2024 puts Plano's median year built at 1993. Ask a quoting company which pest it found, and get its state license number on the estimate.
What pest control costs near Plano
Because no one has sent us a quote from Plano, there's no price for the city itself. The Texas page lists the estimates with what pest control workers are paid ($19.90 an hour in the BLS wage data, which is pay, not price) and the state license fees. How we estimate costs.
