Pest Control in Denton County

Denton County is one unit administratively and several practically. A license is issued by the state, but who actually drives out to a given address is a local question, and it is worth asking before booking rather than after.

(888) 217-6291

Licensed Texas technicians. No obligation for the call.

What you are dealing with matters more than the county line. The winter decides whether a population gets knocked back every year or never does, and that one fact changes what a treatment has to achieve — clear an infestation, or hold a barrier that has nothing to recover from.

Federal quarantine — imported fire ant

Denton County lies inside the federal imported fire ant quarantine. This is not a prediction about whether conditions suit them: it is a statement by USDA APHIS that they are established here.

The practical effect on a household is small but worth knowing: nursery stock, sod, soil and used soil-moving equipment cannot leave a quarantined county for a free one without certification. That is how the range spread in the first place — a shrub carried across a county line.

License: Held by the contractor and issued in Texas. Ask which name it is held under — a trading name and the licensed entity are often not the same.
Price: Quoted before the work starts, not after. If a technician cannot say what the visit will cost before beginning, that is the moment to stop.
The call: Describing what you found commits you to nothing. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Coverage: By town, not by region. Denton County and the towns around it.
