Pest control in Pflugerville

Texas requires anyone doing structural pest control for hire to be licensed under the Structural Pest Control Act, run by TDA. Licenses come by category, such as general pest, termite, and lawn and ornamental, so a company that sprays your foundation for roaches may not be licensed for termites. TDA publishes lists of active licenses and a search by zip code or address.

A licensed business carries at least $500,000 of bodily injury and property damage coverage, with a $1,000,000 aggregate, and the policy must cover property in the company's care, custody or control. For an indoor treatment at a home you own and live in, the technician must make TDA's consumer information sheet available to you.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension prefers a Two-Step Method for fire ants: broadcast bait, then treat individual problem mounds. Spring and fall are the best times; in hot, dry months the ants are less active and mounds are harder to find.

Mosquitoes breed in standing water, and DSHS advises emptying toys, tires, buckets, clogged gutters and plant pots. Pflugerville's year-round irrigation rules, reported in place since August 10, 2026, limit sprinkler systems to two days a week before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m. Water that sits on your lot between those days is worth asking a pest technician about. DSHS says mosquitoes stay active in much of Texas into November and December. Ask the city who takes mosquito complaints inside Pflugerville, and use an EPA-registered repellent outdoors, as DSHS advises.

Scorpions in Pflugerville homes

The striped bark scorpion is the only one of Texas's 18 species found statewide, often under rocks, boards and debris around homes. AgriLife says most stings cause moderate reactions, though a stung person should be watched for allergic signs.

HomeGuide's national figures (January 2026) put a one-time visit at $100 to $600, quarterly service at $80 to $150 a visit and monthly treatment at $40 to $75. Mosquito programs run $80 to $150 a visit or $350 to $1,000 a season. Pflugerville quotes vary, so compare them in writing. The full guide is on the Texas pest control hub.

Termite reports for Pflugerville home sales

A termite report for a Texas sale must be on TDA's Wood Destroying Insect Report form, from a licensed applicator or technician in the termite category, and it covers visible, accessible areas only. If you are buying, pair it with a Pflugerville realtor. The Pflugerville hub has more local rules, and pest control in Round Rock is a nearby list.
