Texas spans several climates. The eastern third is subtropical and humid, the central third has hot summers and dry winters, the High Plains are semi-arid with wide daily temperature swings, and the Trans-Pecos basins are arid. Yearly rainfall runs from under 10 inches in the far west to over 60 inches in the extreme southeast, and humidity generally falls from east to west.

Some pests follow those lines. Subterranean termites are found throughout the state, drywood termites more commonly in coastal areas such as Houston and Corpus Christi, and the Formosan subterranean termite is concentrated on the upper Gulf Coast. Termite swarms begin in January or February in South Texas and typically wait until April or May in the Panhandle. Red imported fire ants infest more than the eastern two-thirds of Texas, and their mounds are smaller and harder to spot on the High Plains. Turkestan cockroaches are becoming more common in the west and El Paso, and the number of scorpion species rises as you travel west.

One rule holds everywhere. The Texas Department of Agriculture, through its Structural Pest Control Service, licenses businesses and individuals who do pest control for hire. This directory does not verify any license; check one in the department's active license files or call 866-918-4481.

Some services carry rules of their own. A person paid to remove a honey bee nest must be a registered beekeeper or a licensed pest control professional, and mosquito control for hire for a homeowner or a homeowners association needs a license in the Pest category.
