Pest control in Clear Lake

Anyone doing structural pest control for hire in Texas needs a Texas Department of Agriculture license under the Structural Pest Control Act. TDA licenses by category, so a company doing termite work should hold the termite category, not only general pest control. Look the company up on TDA's lists of active licenses or its search by ZIP code.

A licensed business must carry at least $500,000 of bodily injury and property damage coverage, with a $1,000,000 aggregate. For an indoor treatment at your own home, the technician must make TDA's consumer information sheet available to you. If you're selling, the termite report has to come from someone licensed in TDA's termite and wood-destroying insect category, on TDA's form.

Harris County Public Health's Mosquito and Vector Control Division (713-440-4800) treats Clear Lake between 8:30 p.m. and 5 a.m., weather permitting. Between sprays, DSHS advises emptying standing water in buckets, tires, plant pots and clogged gutters. For fire ants, AgriLife's Two-Step Method is bait first, then individual mounds, ideally in spring or fall.

HomeGuide's national figures, dated January 9, 2026, put a one-time visit at $100 to $600 and quarterly service at $80 to $150 a visit. More on licensing and costs is in the Texas pest control guide; for local rules, see the Clear Lake guide.
