Pest control in Tyler
Tyler Animal Control answers mosquito complaints inside the city limits at (903) 535-0045. Its Mosquito Control Services cover investigating complaints, capturing and testing mosquitoes for viral identification, chemical treatment of larvae and adults by its Public Health Pesticide Applicators, and enforcing the city's mosquito-breeding ordinance. Those city applicators work under a different license from a company you'd hire. TDA's guidance says city, county or state employees doing mosquito control, and contractors hired by a city, county or state, need an agricultural license in the Public Health Pest Control category.
Mosquito service sold to a homeowner or a homeowners association is nuisance mosquito control and needs a structural license in the Pest category. Misting systems fall under the Pest category too, the guidance says, unless installing is all the company does. Statewide, DSHS's preliminary Week 42 report, reported October 27 and covering data through October 24, 2026, counted 1,422 West Nile positive pools and 88 human cases (16 febrile and 72 neuroinvasive), with 4 deaths.
Weekly figures may change. Tyler, population 107,718, had 52.8% of homes built before 1980 in the 2023 ACS; in the 2020-2024 release its homes' median year is 1978. When you call about breeding water, give the address and say what's holding the water and for how long. If you also hire a yard company, have it show its Pest category number before it treats.
