Pest control in Dickinson

Galveston County Mosquito Control takes spray requests by phone, by email to mosquito.control@co.galveston.tx.us, or through its web page. Between sprays, DSHS advises emptying standing water in toys, tires, buckets, clogged gutters and plant pots. For fire ants, AgriLife recommends baiting in spring or fall, then treating problem mounds; in hot, dry summer months fire ants are less active and mounds are harder to spot. DSHS says mosquitoes stay active in much of Texas into November and December, so a yard program may need to run later than you expect.

For-hire pest control in Texas needs a TDA license, and TDA lists active licenses and offers a company search by ZIP code or address. Businesses must carry at least $500,000 of liability coverage. For an indoor treatment at a home you own and live in, the technician must make TDA's consumer information sheet available to you. HomeGuide puts a one-time visit at $100 to $600 and quarterly service at $80 to $150 per visit nationally, with seasonal mosquito programs at $350 to $1,000.
