Pest control in Round Rock

The health district runs mosquito surveillance across Williamson County from its main office at 355 Texas Ave. in Round Rock, and coordinates treatment with cities. Backyard spraying is not part of that service. DSHS advises EPA-registered repellent and emptying standing water from toys, tires, buckets, clogged gutters and plant pots. It also says mosquitoes stay active in much of Texas into November and December, so a season contract may run longer than you expect. HomeGuide puts mosquito control at $80 to $150 per visit or $350 to $1,000 per season (national, January 9, 2026).

For fire ants, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension prefers the Two-Step Method: broadcast bait, then treat individual problem mounds. Spring and fall are the best times to bait, since ants are less active in hot, dry summer months. The striped bark scorpion is Texas's most common scorpion and turns up under rocks, boards and debris around homes; clearing brush piles removes hiding spots, and for residents inside city limits Round Rock takes brush curbside or at its Brush Recycling Center.

Pest control for hire in Texas needs a license from the Texas Department of Agriculture under the Structural Pest Control Act. TDA licenses by category, including general pest, termite, and lawn and ornamental, so match the category to the job. TDA publishes lists of active licenses and a company search by zip code or address.

• The 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 an owner-occupied home, the technician must make TDA's consumer information sheet available to you, in English or Spanish.
• At complexes of five or more units, residents in or next to the treatment area get at least 48 hours' notice.

Round Rock termite reports for home sales

A termite report for a Texas real estate sale must be on TDA's form, with no alterations, from a licensed applicator or technician in the termite category. It covers visible, accessible areas only, so hidden activity can be missed. Treatment can be recommended only with visible evidence of active infestation, or of past infestation with no sign of prior treatment.

HomeGuide (national, page dated January 9, 2026) puts a one-time visit at $100 to $600, quarterly service at $80 to $150 per visit and monthly treatments at $40 to $75. Termite treatment runs $225 to $2,500 for chemical or bait methods and $2,000 to $8,000 for tenting, and an inspection $0 to $250 (November 21, 2025). Ask whether a quarterly plan includes free re-treats between visits. The Texas pest control guide has the full breakdown.
