The State of Texas Structural Pest Control Board requires the following posting notifications. The Pest Control Technician will provide the posting notices. The 48-hour notification requirement may be waived if an emergency exists that requires immediate treatment. The point of contact is responsible for allowing any emergency treatment to the target area and must sign an emergency waiver, giving the authorization to place pesticides or baits. Emergency treatment is defined as an imminent hazard to health or property or an imminent infestation.
Emergency treatment is limited to the localized area of the emergency.
The need for outdoor treatment is determined by Preventive Maintenance Inspections, which are performed once every three months. This monitoring determines which pests are present and when problems are severe enough to justify corrective action. Remove dead carcasses from accessible areas and deodorize dead animal smell. For information concerning structural pest control laws, contact the Texas Structural Pest Control Board at 512 451-7200. For information concerning the formulation and registration of pesticides, contact the Texas Department of Agriculture at 512 463-7476.
