Pest control in Lockhart

TDA lists active commercial businesses, applicators and technicians, and has a company search by zip code. A licensed business must carry liability coverage of at least $500,000, with a $1,000,000 aggregate, that covers property in its care, custody or control. At a rental with five or more units, residents must get 48 hours' notice before an indoor treatment.

AgriLife's Two-Step Method broadcasts fire ant bait, then treats problem mounds, ideally in spring or fall. For mosquitoes, DSHS says they stay active in much of Texas into November and December, and advises emptying standing water in buckets, tires, gutters and plant pots.

The striped bark scorpion, found statewide, hides under rocks, boards and debris, so clear woodpiles and loose boards away from the house and garage. AgriLife says most Texas scorpion stings cause only moderate reactions, but watch a stung person for allergic signs.

HomeGuide's January 2026 national figures put mosquito control at $80 to $150 a visit. More is on the Texas pest control guide and the Lockhart page.
