Texas agriculture commissioner warns of fake pest control companies

At Pest Control Service Limited, we take pride in offering top-tier pest control services to homeowners and businesses across Texas. As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring your safety, we want to address an important issue recently brought to light by the Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Todd Staples.

Beware of Fake Pest Control Companies

In his recent announcement, Commissioner Staples has alerted Texans to the growing presence of fake, unlicensed pest control companies. These fraudulent operators are preying on vulnerable homeowners, offering low-cost pest control services without proper licenses, insurance, or training. In many cases, these companies use subpar or even harmful chemicals, leading to ineffective pest management and potential harm to the environment, your family, and pets.

How to Spot Fake Pest Control Companies:

As a licensed, trusted pest control company, Pest Control Service Limited wants to ensure you can easily distinguish between reliable, professional services and the scammers that are taking advantage of the situation. Here’s how you can protect yourself:

1. Verify Licenses and Credentials:  All legitimate pest control companies in Texas are required to hold a license from the Texas Department of Agriculture. Make sure to ask for this information before hiring any company. You can verify licenses through the Department’s website.

2. Check for Proper Insurance: Professional pest control companies should carry liability insurance to cover damages or accidents that might happen during treatment. If a company cannot provide proof of insurance, that’s a major red flag.

3. Don’t Fall for Unrealistically Low Prices: Scammers often lure customers in with prices that seem too good to be true. At Pest Control Service Limited, we offer fair, transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

4. Look for Professionalism: Licensed pest control companies will provide written contracts and clear details on the services they will perform. Any lack of documentation or pressure to commit on the spot is suspicious.
