What Arlington housing means for pest control
North Texas clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which can move slabs and buried pipes. Viridian is a newer master-planned neighborhood on the north side.
Lake Arlington, on the west side, is a city water source. Attics and basements in mid-century homes are common nesting spots for mice and squirrels. The University of Texas at Arlington is next to downtown.
Fire ants, roaches and mosquitoes are common in warm months, and mice look for a way in when it turns cold. Six Flags Over Texas opened in Arlington in 1961.
Utilities, permits and licensing
In Texas, licenses for pest control come from the Texas Department of Agriculture, which has an online license search. Ask for a written plan that includes follow-up visits, since many pests take more than one treatment. If anyone in the home has asthma or allergies, or is pregnant, mention it before any product is applied.
Who runs what: Arlington Water Utilities for water, the city's sewer system, with treatment by the Trinity River Authority and Fort Worth's Village Creek plant for wastewater and the City of Arlington Planning and Development Services department for permits. The February 2021 winter storm burst pipes across Tarrant County. Many neighborhoods were built from the 1970s through the 1990s on slab foundations.

What should a pest control company know about homes in Arlington?
Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth. AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field are both in the entertainment district. Spring storms can bring large hail. Mention your street and the age of the house when you call.
How do mice get into a house?
Mice can squeeze through gaps about the size of a dime. Gaps around pipes, vents and doors are common entry points worth sealing.
