Permits, licenses and your utility
In Texas, licenses for pest control come from the Texas Department of Agriculture, which has an online license search. Ask which products will be used and whether you need to leave the home or keep pets away. Keep the paperwork that lists the products used, the areas treated and the date of the next visit.
Who runs what: Denton Water Utilities for water, the city's Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant for wastewater and the City of Denton Development Services department for permits.

What people ask us
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.
What are signs of termites?
Mud tubes on foundations, discarded wings and hollow-sounding wood are common signs. Swarms of winged insects near windows in spring are another sign. If you find any of these, call before the damage spreads.
Do I need to leave the house during treatment?
It depends on the product and method. Ask the company before the visit how long people and pets should stay out of treated areas.
