Pest control in Irving

At complexes of five or more units, residents in or next to the treatment area must be notified at least 48 hours ahead by a posted sign or notice at each unit. The sign must be at least 8.5 by 11 inches and list the National Pesticide Information Center hotline, 1-800-858-7378. The notice can be waived only for an emergency treatment of an imminent health hazard, and both the customer and applicator must sign a statement saying so.

In a rental with fewer than five units, the applicator must make TDA's consumer information sheet available on request at each indoor treatment. Owner-occupied homes get the sheet at every indoor treatment. TDA prints it in English and Spanish, and companies must use TDA's version.

Irving mosquitoes and scorpions

Dallas County Health and Human Services runs mosquito surveillance, larviciding and adulticiding, but its page doesn't say which cities it treats, so ask the county about your neighborhood. DSHS advises emptying standing water from buckets, tires, clogged gutters and plant pots. The striped bark scorpion, the only one of Texas's 18 species found statewide, hides under rocks, boards and debris around homes. AgriLife says stings usually cause moderate reactions, but watch for allergic ones.

Pest control for hire in Texas needs a TDA license under the Structural Pest Control Act. Search TDA's lists of active licensees, or its company search by zip code or address. The business must carry at least $500,000 of bodily injury and property damage cover with a $1,000,000 aggregate, and the policy must cover property in its care, custody or control.

For a home sale, ask for a Wood Destroying Insect Report on TDA's form from a licensee in the termite category. It covers visible, accessible areas only. More Irving rules are on the Irving city page, and pest control in Grand Prairie is close by.
