Pest control in The Woodlands
The Woodlands Township doesn't spray for mosquitoes, its Mosquito Information page says, because spraying is managed by the county; the Township does surveillance and education instead. Its advice is to drain standing water and treat what can't be drained with Mosquito Dunks or Mosquito Bits. Concerns go to Montgomery or Harris County, depending on which side of the county line your address falls. In The Woodlands, 72.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, ACS figures for 2020 to 2024 show.
AgriLife Extension says Texas law requires a State of Texas Wood Destroying Insect report whenever an official termite inspection is made, that the report is a legal document that must be accurate and complete, and that it's based on a visual inspection. Whoever signs must be either a certified applicator or a termite-control technician, and the buyer of the inspection is owed a copy. The form sets its own limits: visible and accessible areas only, attics and crawl spaces when they can be reached, a diagram for each structure, and a sticker posted to record where and when the inspection happened.
It also says it is neither a damage report nor any warranty against wood destroying insects. If the report recommends treatment, ask whether the inspector saw active insects or a past infestation, or only conditions that could invite one, since TDA treats the last as preventive.
