Pest control in Rowlett
Beehive keepers in Rowlett can opt out of future mosquito spraying by emailing Environmental Health. Ground-spraying notifications appear on the city's website, social media and Connect Rowlett. Spraying is tied to West Nile virus detection and takes place in the management area containing the positive sample when weather allows. During April through November, Dallas County places weekly mosquito traps in 7 Rowlett management zones. The city and county jointly conduct surveillance testing and larviciding.
State mosquito advice from the Texas Department of State Health Services calls for emptying or removing containers weekly, changing birdbath and wading-pool water several times a week, and using dunks where water can't be drained. A company selling nuisance mosquito control to homeowners or homeowners associations must carry the Pest category on a structural license issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture. Public mosquito-control contractors use a different category. The same office accepts reports of standing water, stagnant swimming pools and other mosquito concerns through the city's Mosquito Management Program page.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Rowlett
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.
