Pest control in Texarkana
Texarkana residents can request mosquito spraying or respraying through Public Works, which sends complaints to the Vector Control officer as a work order. For a standing-water complaint, the officer checks for mosquito larvae and treats them as needed. The city's program checks and treats 64 known standing-water sites and used-tire outlets for larvae, with drainage areas, retention ponds and creeks checked and treated throughout the year. Spraying runs April through October or until the first hard freeze.
Name the condition you're reporting, such as standing water or a need for spraying. The Texas Department of State Health Services recommends emptying containers or removing water-holding items around the home at least weekly, and changing water in bird baths and wading pools several times each week. A company you hire for private mosquito control needs the structural Pest category license required by the Texas Department of Agriculture. Texarkana's mosquito FAQ lists 903-798-3948 as the contact for residents experiencing a mosquito problem.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Texarkana
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.
