Who’s allowed to treat your home?
Texas pest control has three individual license tiers plus a business license. The person at your door should hold one of these — and the company they work for should hold a Commercial or Noncommercial Business license.
Certified Applicator
Can independently perform, supervise, and sign off on pest control work in their certified categories.
Highest individual tier. Has passed TDA's category-specific exams. A licensed business must have at least one Certified Applicator on staff.
Technician
Can perform routine pest control work under the supervision of a Certified Applicator.
Individual license for workers who have completed training but do not yet hold Certified Applicator status. Must work under a Certified Applicator employed by the same business.
Apprentice
Entry-level — may only work under the direct, on-site supervision of a Technician or Certified Applicator.
Registered trainee tier. Apprentices are building hours toward Technician status.
Treatment categories
A Certified Applicator’s authority is scoped to the specific categories on their license. Ask which category covers your pest — termite work, for example, requires separate certification from general pest control.
Pest Control (General)
Ants, roaches, spiders, rodents, and other general household pests.
Termite
Subterranean and drywood termite treatment — separate certification because of the structural stakes.
Wood-Destroying Insects
Powderpost beetles, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and similar wood-infesting pests.
Lawn & Ornamental
Insects, diseases, and weeds affecting lawns and ornamental plants around a structure.
Weed Control
Non-ornamental weed treatment around structures, sidewalks, and driveways.
Fumigation
Tent or tarp fumigation for heavy infestations. Separate, higher-risk certification.
