Pest control in Santa Fe

Galveston County handles residential spraying and also takes requests by email to mosquito.control@co.galveston.tx.us. Between sprays, DSHS advises emptying the standing water in buckets, tires and clogged gutters. A termite report for a Texas sale must be on TDA's form, from someone licensed in the termite category, and covers only visible, accessible areas. Treatment can be recommended only with visible evidence of an active infestation, or of a past one with no sign of treatment.

For fire ants in Santa Fe yards, AgriLife recommends baiting in spring or fall and then treating problem mounds. In a 2023 release, DSHS said mosquitoes stay active in much of Texas into November and December, so keep emptying standing water well into the fall.

TDA licenses for-hire pest control and publishes current license lists and a company search by ZIP code or address. Licensed businesses carry at least $500,000 of liability coverage. HomeGuide's national figures are $100 to $600 for a one-time visit and $80 to $150 per quarterly visit (2026), and $0 to $250 for a termite inspection (2025).
