STATE TDA SPCSRequired
Pest control operations in Fort Worth are primarily governed by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) under the Structural Pest Control Act. All businesses must hold a valid TDA license and ensure that all technicians are properly certified or registered. While the city of Fort Worth does not issue a specific pest control permit, operators must ensure they are in good standing with state regulations and local business filing requirements.
Compliance involves maintaining strict records of pesticide applications, adhering to safety and storage protocols, and carrying the state-mandated minimum liability insurance. Failure to maintain these standards can result in administrative penalties, license suspension, or revocation by the TDA.
Compliance is state-heavy; ensure your TDA credentials are current before conducting business in Fort Worth.
