About this line
Questions and answers
Questions about a particular pest are on that pest's page. These are about the line itself.
The referral line
Is this a pest control company?
No. It's a referral line. When you call, you are connected with an independent pest control company. That company does the work, sets the price and answers for the job.
Which company will I reach?
It depends on your location and who is available when you call. The company should tell you its name on the call. Ask for it, and for its license information.
What should I have ready?
Your ZIP code, what you've seen, where you've seen it and how long it has been going on. Allow a few minutes to talk it through.
What does it cost?
The company you reach sets its own prices. This site has no price list. See what drives the cost.
Which areas does the number cover?
Midland, Texas ZIP codes 79701, 79703, 79705, 79706, 79707 and Odessa, Texas ZIP codes 79761, 79762, 79763, 79764, 79765, 79766. It isn't for Midland, Michigan.
When can I call?
Early morning to late evening. If you don't get through, try again in a little while.
Is the treatment safe for my kids and pets?
Ask the company directly. Each product has a label and safety data sheet, and the Texas consumer sheet says the applicator can supply them on request. Ask how to prepare and how long to stay out.
How do I know the company is licensed?
Ask the company, then confirm it with the Texas Department of Agriculture. Here are the steps.
Do you cover every kind of animal or insect?
No. Some aren't handled by the companies on this line. The how-it-works page has the list, so read it before you call about anything unusual.
Is this number for businesses selling services?
No. It's for households and property owners with a pest problem now. Sales and marketing calls can't be helped here.
