Pest control in Richmond
Stagnant water that attracts or harbors mosquitoes was an unsanitary condition under Richmond Sec 22-80 as of the June 17, 2026 archive. It also listed grass or weeds over 9 inches and publicly visible piles of trash, rubbish and debris as ordinance violations. Richmond's separate 2026 mosquito notice scheduled spraying inside city limits at dusk starting May 6, 2026. The published schedule called for Wednesday and Saturday applications through October 31, 2026.
Those dates describe that season's notice; they don't establish a later spray visit. For home prevention, the Texas Department of State Health Services advises removing containers that hold water or emptying them each week; larvicide dunks address water you cannot empty. If you buy nuisance mosquito control for your home, including through a homeowners association, the required Texas Department of Agriculture credential is a structural license in the Pest category. The same archived code page directed violation complaints to 281-342-0559; confirm the contact before reporting.
What pest control costs near Richmond
Because no one has sent us a quote from Richmond, 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.
Licensing and rules for pest control in Richmond
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.
